New England B.S. Thread

There you go

 

Oh trust me this is far from over. 60-something years old and the piece of shit wouldn't even apologize to me.

 

Greetings from Burlington, NJ!

 

I had BFGs on my 93 in 31x10.5. I never put them through a snowstorm unfortunately but I loved them to death. I never had any real issues with noise or them being particularly out of balance. The truck itself was a rough ride so I just got used to it.

My current truck has BFGs in 265/76-16 and again, 0 issues. I did run them the first winter I had them and had zero issues when I was out and about. The only time I coudl break the tires is if I was trying to.

That being said, I did end up purchasing a set of dedicated snow tires, but my reasons were really twofold. The first is that I didn't want to muck up my beadlocks by putting them through another winter of salt and the second is that with the new OR's stupid brakes, I did experience a few times in the rain/slippery situations where I tripped ABS when I shouldn't have. However, it does appear to be more widespread than just me.

I love the tires, but I'm also partial to how they look with the RWL. Shoot me a PM or something if you have any specific questions.

 

I will have to look closer, but from memory it's a Fusion clamp on stem.

 

You're in NJ?? Didn't you deep 6 your tranny last time you made the mistake and vacationed in New Jersey?? Make sure you say hello to NJDBFU while you're down there

 

Am I looking at wrong, or does it clamp to the fork with volts on the side like a seatpost clamp?

 

Correct. Clamp on style.

 

Yes I did! And I'm gonna avoid that trail like the god damn plague!

Who is NJDBFU?

 

BGR... You know, that guy from Jersey who only pops in to drop a FUDB every now and then.

 

Never owned a bike with that kind..how in the shit does that work?

 

I know its a stretch, but anyone know where I can get a factory tailgate or anyone know someone that has one for sale? Otherwise I'll just buy a shell.

 

Philly cheese steaks

Oh true true!

 

It clamps on

 

My bikes always had the kind that had the bolt on the top that pulled the wedge piece up inside the head tube..

 

Pretty sure he's from Long Island . But it's all the same .

 

I know, that's why I called him NJDBFU

 

Hmmm thanks for the info...

 

This is the New England bs thread, lat time I checked NJ is not in NE....


Have fun and try not to kill your truck

 

Anybody here ever dislocate anything? What's it feel/sound like?

I tangled up my feet in an extension cord at a run this morning and fell. Landed on my left arm/shoulder. Thought I'd broken my arm because it wouldn't do anything (dead weight and hurt like a mother), but when I was trying to get up my shoulder made a ?squishing/popping? noise and started hurting less and my arm started working again.

I've got full range of motion, and it doesn't hurt beyond a dull ache (probably thanks mostly to the Aspirin I took before I left for work), but it's tight and stiff as hell, and I don't feel like I've got full strength back into it yet.

Icing it right now, and I've got an appt at the chiropractor's this afternoon. I've never dislocated anything before but from what I've read on the interwebs it kind of sounds like what happened this morning.
