I can't own a bike. It would kill me. Everything that I own I have to know how fast it will go. I love speed.
Last night coming home from Monroe I had the cruse set @ 75. I didn't pay attention when I passed a Mustang until he ran up beside me and kept speeding up and slowing down. My wife said what does this Mustang want. I showed him tail lights twice. He followed me off of the interstate and kept doing the same thing. I ran it up to about 120 and he decided he didn't want to play any more.
I wasn't running but the 175 tune and getting 20mpg.

It sure is fun outrunning a a stang in a F250. I have a buddy with a 12 second 4 door 4x4 F250. Its a 99 model 7.3. He does it with 37 inch mudders. Its one fast F250. He lucked up & bought it off Ebay with a 800 hp motor & built tranny. The ad didn't mention the mods.
My shop is up. The floor hasn't been poured yet but its ready to wire & finish the inside.

Good afternoon folks!
I'm new to this forum. Just reading this conversation, it looks like a fun group.
Hey Mike, the new ride looks like fun, but I want to know how is the road rash from the fall a couple weeks ago? Man, I hurt just looking at the photo.
Update on the '59 - I installed all new handles and ***** in the interior last night. A pretty simple job, with only minor complications and the results look fantastic. Funny thing about the '59 F100s, all the ***** were white. Gear shift ****, all the dashborad *****, glove box ****, window crank *****, etc. No black ***** were put on any of the F100s that year. I never knew until a parts guy told me on the phone when I was placing an order. Go figure.
