Ken, Thanks for the story about being so overloaded that you had to let off the gas (or as I always tapped the brakes) to get the front tires to grab enough to steer. Yu ahve never lived until you have gone through the realization that the wheels are turning easily because they aren't touching the ground..at speed with a curve coming. Let's just say the seat had a crease in it for a while. Gater
Any of you know what a Slurry Seal truck is ? . I was driving on with a full tank and missed a shift , next thing I knew I was looking at the underside of a bridge whilst travelling in dense city traffic @ 35 MPH.... I was young & dumb at the time , now I'm old & dumb...
At least you're consistent! Young and dumb, old and dumb! I wish iI were as dumb as you! Maybe i am in certain ways!
As the slurry tank was full , the mix sloshed to the back and that's most of what made the rig wheelie , I'm very lucky it didn't veer off to one side or into oncoming traffic , nor did I break off any of the Slurry Seal spraying nozzles on the back of the truck As Gater said : the driver's side of the seat remained with a serious crease from my puckering up..... Thinking of driving my truck over the Hill to where my son works to pick up some fenders and visit him on duty as he's working o-day .
