Going to see alleycat

[CaptainKyle]

Well I am all loaded & ready to go just waiting on my better half to get off work so we can go meet alleycat. Every one always ask me why I like my full size V10 gas guzzler this is why.

Have a safe trip guys (& gal). Kyle, you sure got a good tow vehicle! I meant to look under the hood the other day.

Here's one of my favorite videos:

Also a 488 c.i. motor!

As Dave said, "I think a 'shotgun' to the carbs will help!"

Rideable as-is, but some TLC will make it the Queen of the Boulevard. It's a good starting point.

Well if your trailer was a 6-bike trailer & you had more in the bed then perhaps your V-10 would exercise a bit. Your load there looks to be w/the trailer, about 3000 lb. which is probably 1/3 of your rating for that Ram-Tough. As you mentioned to me when we transferred the "a113ymax" you should probably get about the same gas mileage w/this load as you would bare! (for this load)

If the weather holds-up this weekend, I am going to try and see if my bed extension for my GMC works well for hauling a big bike. I think it will allow me to move a single bike w/o using a trailer & w/o the tailgate cables being the sole-support for the rear wheel of the bike.

Where are you now, Kyle? Give your co-pilot something to do, "sit-rep" requested!

Have a safe trip Kyle! Big hugz to Christine too.

Talk soon

I am about 200 miles from my destination. Your right my truck is purring right along at 85 mph it barely knows it has anything behind it. The gas mirage would not be near as bad if this size 13 steel toe boot would lay off of the pedal.lol

Most we've hauled at one time was 12. My enclosed is normally good for 9. but you can squeeze tighter if you have to.

We loaded the Dodge duelly up last year when I finished a buying trip in So. Cal and on the 24' trailer we had 34 bikes on the the Toyota Tundra 16' trailer we had 22 and I had another 12 on my 10' trailer and that was only the first trip we still had to go back for 35 more bikes. I am so glad those kind of trips are behind me. But in the Dodge we got 17mpg on the way back with that load.
