My truck decided it’s torque converter wasn't all that important a couple or three months ago, so I got to spend a bit of time riding the bike to work while I ruminated on whether or not to fix a 2007 F150 with 213k miles or buy a new truck. And what truck should I buy?
I've got about a fifty mile round trip ride to work through mostly straightish highway, so my back tire now looks like this:
So I guess I need to pull out the old tire spoons and get a new one.
As a side note, I got an F150 Lightning. My Sportster is a 1200 with upgraded exhaust and air filter, but I have no record of any tuning adjustments or anything like that because all that stuff was already on there when I bought it with 300 miles on it. Anyhow, im pretty sure this massively heavy truck can just about smoke my bike off the line. That instant torque is very nice.
Now I need to convince the wife the it is worth spending the $2500 or so to upgrade to 1275 with new cams and a proper tuner and a few other goodies so I can get between 90 and 100 horses out of the rear wheel. Because I can't drive a trick that is faster than my bike. It is unholy.
