Smokey & the Bandit Tribute Truck Ep.89 Date Night
#himiway #projectsnowman #snowmanspeedshop
This week, I wanted to take Mrs. TwinStick out on a date night date with #ProjectSnowman and I came up with the idea to drive the rig to a local truck stop and ride Himiway e-bikes to a nice little restaurant cause I’m romantic like that. Of course, I highlighted how e-bikes are very well suited to truckers as there’s usually only garbage food at truck stops and truckers don’t get the opportunity to get much exercise. I mentioned this concept last year during the Lesco 2023 truck show episode and a lot of viewers commented that there’s no place to put the bike, so some friends of mine Blake (Fly, Weld, Fab) and Dallas (Single_Drive) came up with a...

    Just be thankful you don't live in my neck of the woods, Mark; you probably couldn't afford to play anymore... checked the fuel station today: $2.90/L for diesel, $2.30/L for regular gas. Thankfully we don't have to travel far on the regular, so it lasts more than a week, but still hurts to fuel up.

    Does Mrs Twinsticks know how lucky she is to get such a wonderful ride in an old KW 900? Well deserved first prize at the truck show last year. That said, back in the 1980s, I took my wife - who also has a Class 1, but really was a homemaker looking after our kids at the time - on an extended 'date' hauling explosives from Kimberley to Yellowknife. She actually earned money on this trip because you needed to run team on explosives. She did good, running Peace River hill, for example, something which was quite new for her as she had not done a lot of hills before. That bike needs fenders, Mark. Otherwise, if it rains, the trucker gets a really wet a..

    Hi Mark. Another idea to maybe save room. Move your pogo out and then pre-mount the bike rack to your mount. Then face your mount towards the bunk. if there is enough room, you might even be able to mount the receiver part of the mount under the bunk to save a little more room. you could potentially save 8-12 inches of space if you can get the receiver under the bunk in the gap. Might have to curve the bars down to clear, but that would save a ton of space.

I see Mrs. TwinSticks isn't a big fan of the Jakes. Couldn't help chuckle at her reaction when you were futzing with that little toggle on the dash. Apparently, she doesn't welcome all the attention that they draw when applied. Us guys definitely have a different view of what sounds good. Really enjoy your weekly video postings and content. Good day to you, Sir!

    If you wanted to you can put a receiver hitch on the front of the trailer so it should not interfere with the air hose tree. But other truckers may not have that option if they are swapping trailers a lot. City busses have the racks on the front of the bus with a simple swing arm to go over the tire to secure it and those racks fold when not in use. As I am thinking here there seems to be a few solutions that would work for a trucker to use.
