Tundras live: A Bunch of Idiots And A Bunch of BS- Resume discussion group

Yup. That's the biggest thing that keeps me from commuting on it. It's just an extra chunk of time and I'm already showing up to work between 0520-0530 for my 0600 shift. I don't want to get up or get ready earlier just for a 3 mile ride while it's cold as crap in the morning. I pop home and get the bike on some of my lunch breaks when I'm on day shift, though.

 

When I used to ride I would wear Icon clothes. not sure if they still are, but they were very durable and casual. So I didnt have to change in and out. a lot has changes since I last rode I am sure

 

He only leaves the house for the gym so he's changing no matter what. LOL


For me, I just wear my helmet, jacket, and gloves, but between that and trying to take lunch with me it adds a bit of time both departing and arriving on my commute. Can't sit at my desk in my helmet, though I'd look cool AF if I did.

 

I get that. My helmet always went in with my, but my jacket went on my chair and helmet/gloves on my desk. The boots, pants and shirt, I just wore all day.

 

Yeah, I guess I'm just whining since I don't have a riding shirt, pants, or boots.

It's still not warm enough yet to commute. Still in the 30s at that hour.

 

I forget, do you still ride?

 

Oh, bummer.

We can get a sidecar for @T-Rex266 's bike and you can ride around that way.



Have you thought about something like a Spyder or.... *gag* a trike? Before I got back on a bike I was looking at a Spyder or a Ryker from Can-Am, but the cushy Spyders are as much or more than a damn car!

 

Well that blows. Is it the bumps and bounces, or is just sitting what effs it up?

 

I'm sorry man. I hope you can find some relief.

 

Rigby is a red fox colored English lab. Has a crazy pedigree

 

Bracing for all hell to break loose at work. We've got one carrier doing emergency equipment replacement for a 6 hour window tonight and it's going to trash the majority of stuff in an entire state for another carrier.

 

Much as I love it here, if it'll heal your pain and let you enjoy a bike again, I'll take that hammer strike.

 

Keep me posted. I'd like to be prepared.

You'll also have to share pics with Sean of you out on your bike afterward.

 

And this is one of many reasons that I won't buy used.

how you know you're doin' OK:



I was doing heavy bench day.

Floor press.

which entails lying on the floor and doing a bench press.

well, I finished and decided to rest a tad after the last set. still lying on floor, in rack.



20 minutes later........

I woke up.

it was good.


it was one of those coma inducing rests.

I guess I was damn relaxed after hitting my number & was simply content to stay there.




then we went to Texas Roadhouse.

they have a deviled egg appetizer with whipped filling & a bacon topper.

 

I know mine is long, but mine is well under the weight limits of the truck.. that... that is scary.

 

Yep. So much yep. I keep those ahead of me until I know I can clear them by a long shot. That last thing I want is someone overloaded like that towing right behind me

 

100%

 

Yup. And I bet if you try to warn him about the issue you'll get attitude and told to FO for your troubles.

 

I know enough about to towing to know....I don't like towing.

way too many critical variables.

most of which folks take for granted.

 

Also, every single time.... It is unfortunate. The FB group is even worse. They almost brag about doing 2500/3500 things with their Tundras.

i will be the first to say I have and may have to again, but I will not gloat about it because it was either in ignorance years ago or an emergency situation. i.e. over payload on the tundra. Wife now knows we are thinning down freezer stock and not loading it up again this storm season. We lose what we cannot load. That alone will keep me in weight limits.

 

Took my truck in for 5000 mi service, I do a lot of dirt roads so I get the oil changed every 5000 miles and obviously the tire rotation.

I get the truck back and had to leave to get a new boat 120 miles away. Through Casper the truck was fine, but when I hit the high way it started shaking like Michael J Fox. So I call and I says, I says to em. Hey what the hell do to my truck? Why’s it shaking. Could’ve used the damn thing for a paint mixer.

got it back into the shop they left the fuckin lugs loose.
