Where did you pull that 8500# number out of? If that bed is empty no more then 7500 full of fuel and driver.

Thats what the scale at the scrap yard said. I have about a good 200 pounds in the bed of just jacks and dollys then I had my back seat folded up and the whole area packed with tools that in clude a welder, plazma cutter, my tool box alone is 85 pounds, plus all my delwalt tools and my grinding and polishing stuff, plus my helper was with me. plus I have every option except for moon roof and nav but i Have a sub box and amp and alsorts of other crap stuffed everywhere.

yeah, your are prolly close to 8500. Tho I would get to a cat scale to get a good certified weight some day.

The scrape yards scale is pretty good, I'm pretty sure its inspected by the state since its used to weigh the amount of metal you getting payed for. the only time I stop at a cat scale is when I have my trailer hooked and loaded.

Alright, this is my first official "smoke story". I only soot when necessary, like when six kids on skateboards decide to cross a congested 4 lane, 55mph highway. The pricks just walked out into traffic and expected everyone to stop. Well I didnt want to, but I was forced to stop because they walked right in front of my truck. I was in the right lane, and they walked across and then right next to the smoke slinger. From a dead stop that ol' hx40 takes some time! Engulfed them in a cloud! The guy behind me in a Ford 6 beater was laughing his @ss off! Got 'em good too, maybe they'll think next time!

Oh how i love this these posts!! I got to cloud out a little buzzlebee car this evening. I slowed to let a semi make a turn and this little car rite behind me almost ate my bumper. After I took off she stayed rite there attached to my bumper. Hiding the headlites behind my tailgate. Then I decided she needs to back off. Grabbed the big gear and leaned on the floor. Magic!!! No headlites, no car. All black! No problems with following close after that!!!

I can't stand the drafters. Do they realize that they will have a bump in their windshield if you were to really SLOW DOWN?



I had a drafter this morning, but held my cool, he was in and out of the zone where the head lights disappear and reappear. . He passed and got in front of me so I returned the favor of drafting, this time with my high beams on and prolly a little closer. It's interesting how the inside of these cars get so bright



The poor arm of this guy, he was telling me I'm "Number One" for about 10 miles. I matched his moves and then he though we was going to be super fast race care driver and jump over 3 lanes to get away from me. pffft, just took it to 20psi on the turbo and passed him as he was flooring it. and he ended up getting stuck back in traffic. The rest of the intelligent world went of driving at 85mph (he was doing no more then 70, no one in front of him after he passed me) in the left lane.



This guy obviously had the "Do as I say, not as I do" mentality. Sure, he can tail gate and cut folks off, but god forbid you do it to him.



The art of backing off and keeping distance, and re-making that distance on a lane change is a lost art. States should fine folks hundreds of dollars if they don't make up the braking distance with in 10 seconds of a lane change

Most Harlies are fun, slower then snail snot in comparison to a sport bike. Most folks around here get the slower ones and put the big annoying pipes on them. The look when you walk past them on a 30+ run is PRICELESS

Jason,

Now that's the pot calling the kettle black. Here you are making fun of guys on Harleys putting loud pipes on them and your truck is bone stock right? :-laf I can't see the difference. Just two less wheels and both guys enjoying their rides.

how is it calling the kettle black? did I miss something? If anything, my loud annoying exhaust has a function, lots of extra fuel and boost needs to go some place quick.



I would like to take this moment tho to make the correlation between Ricers and Harleys.



Slow, loud, annoying, to much bling useless adds for their own good and they have more excuses then you can shake a stick at.



*runs and hides for a long long time *



:-laf :-laf :-laf :-laf





Tho, they do take pride in the bike/ricer, so I give ya that

I agree with the above post.

 

[JasonCzerak]

I agree with the above post.

Funny tho, how most "ricer bikes" are typically kept stock. If they are modded, they try very hard to keep it stock appearing.



I'm not much into the details of bikes however, quick true story.



Hanging out at Gratiot and 12 mile (roseville, mi) there and there was some negotiating going on between a guy with what he claimed to be a "750" (forgot the brand) bike and a friend with a rather quick car. We've seen this guy run and "toy" with other cars and bikes and something didn't really add up.



He had done a VERY good job cramming in a 1000cc motor in a bike that originally came with a 750, and hid just about all the details. He was called out and did confess. Did end up loosing the race tho (this car, rather fast... ;-) )

 

[JDiepstra]

Jason just so you know it was your post I agreed with. And when I say "ricer", I mean cars with coffee can exhausts and double decker spoilers.

 

[C. Harlan]

I got a Z-28 camaro tuesday night on the way home from a rodeo. . he was actually jacking around with some guy in a chevy truck, and when they took off I heard his exhaust... I was like "Hmm!! He wants to play!" well, we get to 281, and I am in front... when we got on the frontage road, its about a mile to the stop light... well, I started the process of smoking him out to let him know he was about to lose... I got in the left lane at the light, and he pulled up in the right. . I had the smarty on 9 and the juice off, so I started mashing the gas sending 12 valve smoke clouds out at him... he starts revving his motor as well... I locked it into 4 hi, and 2nd gear, and as soon as the light across turned yellow, I revved it to 2000 RPM, spooling it somewhat... When the light went green, I launched really hard, and all I heard was tires screeching from him... . I looked back and there was nothing but dark clouds, and all you could see was dark brown headlights through the fog! I got about 5 or 6 car lengths on him before he finally flashed his lights as if to say "Damn! I just got my @ss kicked by a 4x4 dually redneck looking truck!" It was all fun, but I guaruntee he will not be wanting to tangle with some Diesels anymore!!!

How are you runnin a smarty and a juice on a 12 valve?

 

[Flinty]

At the bottom of his sig you will notice that Mr. Harlan has been blessed with TWO fire breathing diesels, a '98 12v and a '04. 5 dually. I asked the same question then double checked his sig.

:-lafAre those the people that stand on the street corner dressed up like the statue of liberty waving signs? Every time I see one of those guys, the same thought goes through my head... they always seem to be standing in the wrong spot though:-laf

 

[6BT-Dakota]

The one I got last year wasnt standing in the wrong spot she was at the intersection about 5 ft off the curb and boy I let her have it good. She was not happy.
