I hate you. Been having the 2 wheel feels for 4 months. Tomorrow's gonna be 72 then back in the 40s. I MAY sneak a ride or two depending on how bad sand and bumps are.

psh, it was in the 30's this morning and I rode that Dyna to work, there are weekend warriors, posers, motorcycle enthusiasts, seasonal riders, and then there are bikers, I am the latter

oh, and I live off a washboard dirt road, get you some of that

Back when I was young and more intellectually declined I'd ride Rain, Shine, Snow or Sleet but reflexes are falling and my bikes are getting heavier. I'd go darkside on the Wing but the upper fender skirt wouldn't clear anything with a decent enough tread to stick.

Yeah, I get horrid gas mileage with my Colorado. I completely destroyed what little aerodynamics it had when I ditched the stock bumper, lifted it, and put that aluminum contractor cap (sits 4" proud of the cab roof) with a cab-over rack on it.

Then I put 33" mudders on.

I get 12-13 mpg on the highway in the winter. Gets up closer to 15 in summer.

It got 21 when I bought it.

I have a 72 mile round trip commute. Buying gas sucks.

My uncle just bought a new crew cab Chevy 2500 with the newly designed Duramax diesel... He gets 19-20mpg on the highway in a truck twice the size of mine.

My dad recently bought a 2017 Colorado crew cab with the 4 cylinder duramax. It has 32” a/t tires and a level and still gets 25 mpg easily.

You can either have Eco or you can have boost, can't have both with EcoBoost.

2007 Chevy Tahoe. Last year the cluster odometer display burned out, so not sure the exact mileage, but at that time it was about 220K. I put at least 75 miles a day on it 5 days a week, so I'd say its now around 240K. No third row seat, and second row seat folds up, so you know I treat the cargo space like a pick up. One time I fit 2 go karts in there LOL.

Yeah, it's a completely different truck. With a diesel. And A/T tires, not 10 ply mudders. Plus it's more aerodynamic from the get-go. And it doesn't have a big square box on top filled with 600# of tools and crap. Or a ladder rack. Aerodynamics is an unforgiving, greedy little biatch.

You'd think a Jeep has about as bad of aerodynamics as you can possibly get, but one of my co-workers put a safari rack on his JK, and lost 3.5mpg, just from that.

I GOT THE SHADOW OUT TODAY! 49* but IDGAF. First official ride it's been on since I've owned it for the past 3 years. But had to break out the Mothers and therma-blanket soon after. Over all it's a quick bike but gets pretty sketchy up past 80mph.

 

[supermanotorious]

my first bike was a 2004 Shadow, great little learner bike and one I recommend to any beginner
