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 new way to mount a bike rack up behind the cab so I decided to take this opportunity to try out proof of concept and it worked like a charm.

    Mark, just a couple thoughts about the bikes. Most drivers will probably only have one bike, so I think if a person was going to do it and wanted to leave it on all the time, a much simpler and smaller rack could be used. The rack you guys built is nice, and no doubt plenty strong, but it's way to big. A simple single rack could be used, and I would move the pogo stick closer to the 5th wheel, and put the rack between it and the sleeper. The same could be done with a two bike rack, but again it would have to be downsized. Another thing that would help as far as space is concerned would be to have a bike with handlebars that can be turned 90 degrees. That would also help reduce the amount of space required for everything. Obviously on a long wheelbase truck it wouldn't really matter, but with short wheelbase trucks like yours, it could make things easier. Just a few thoughts. Maybe I'm over thinking things.

    When you aren't pulling a trailer, can you drop the tire pressures on the rear axles of the tractor unit to soften the ride a bit, or is there a risk that the duals will rub sidewalls together? I bought a 2002 Dodge Ram Cummins dually from a bloke in Wales a few years ago. I asked him what the tire pressures should be. He replied, 'it says on the tires.' Wrong. The tires stated MAXIMUM operating pressure 80psi. That's what he was running. Should have been 55psi front & 50psi rear. The ride was terrible at 80psi, plus all of the tires were bald in the centres.
