What is going on in here

 

raymond could use some bacon love now that he is free

 

We had a really good time shooting; next time we could have more people out for that. I brought 11 guns yesterday, and we shot all but the .22. I'm not sure how many people would be practical to have at a shoot, organisation-wise. If we had a lot of folks, we might want to designate a meet range safety officer or two, to avoid any confusion or incidents.

It eventually started snowing so hard the guns were getting wet & visibility got minimal.

I have pics on my phone of DH shooting the Mighty Casull; I need to figure out how to get them onto a PC. Raymond didn't have a cable that worked for that, and neither do I yet.

I have a lot of gun cleaning to do now.

 

lol... we all know the story of those who have lifted trucks.... they all have little dicks.... I stick to low because going off road is cool and all but nothing like the rush of so much power under that skinny pedal and being able to take those corners without the risk of rolling it... I feel much safer driving my truck daily than I would one of the tonka trucks you guys drive... one quick swerve and that can lead to disaster... can't say that about my truck... which I have had to do before so this drop has paid for its self already at least on two occasions...

 

Yeah, involvement with those women would require the use of several condoms at once, I imagine.

 

My truck's not lifted. I know not to push it through a turn any harder when I hear the inside rear tire stop howling (because it's in the air).


Back when I was autocrossing competetively & regularly, there was one guy that ran a HiLux in my class, and he did pretty well. I ran a VW Scirocco in that class.

 

LOL Its ok if you have nothing to do...

 

Nice.. I used to do a little Auto-x at the Sagebrush church. It was free and fun.

 

Sick though man... I love doing auto-x... Pretty fun stuff... I mainly do it going up the crest with a few friends though... We always do night runs...

 

Maybe this spring after all the scoria's washed off the road up there I could join you on my Duc a time or two. That stuff is like marbles.

 

lol I almost ate it again today on my windy road because of all the sand they put down for the snow. Gotta take it easy on my knobies.

 

for sure man. it's quite the fun night when we go.

 

Glad you're OK!

Yeah, this time of year the roads can be pretty iffy for sand, scoria, melt-off, ice in the shady spots etc.

I took the Duc up to a friend's house in the Manzanos once last week after work; made it up w/ no problems, but had to go very slowly on the way back down south 14 because it was starting to get pretty cold & ice up. That bike is unmanageable on snow & ice.

 

It almost has enough power to be unmanageable on dry roads

 

If you launch it just right, you can get wheelspin during a wheelie.

I don't have the skills yet to do that consistently, though. The tire will spin on tarstrips on a hot day, though, or across the paint stripes at the intersections.

I only get about 3000 miles out of a rear tire; it's a pretty soft compound.

They dyno at about 156hp at the wheel. 411lbs w/ a full tank & all liquids. That gives 2.63lbs/wheel hp.

 

I can imagine! I use a Valentine One detector at all times, but sometimes you come around one of those blind hairpins & there's a cop using instant-on & you're screwed. Late at night it's probably a lot better for that.

 

My bike makes about 30 hp lol. Ill get around 3000 out of this tire just because its a knoby.

 

Yeah, good knobbies are pretty soft, right? I understand that they don't last long if you ride them on pavement much. How much does a rear knobby cost?

 

around 80 bucks. Im gonna go with some cheap chinese dual sport tires next time around.
