OSP congrats on the truck. Those are great trucks.

The only thing I don't like about them is how short the bed is... you'll have to leave the tailgate down and some bikes even then will barely fit on there. If you're going to trailer it doesn't matter though.

I'll be getting a huge ass Tundra in the spring.











And you guys talking about disabled dudes at the track... last TDs I was at there was a guy with ONE FUCKING ARM... and he was MISSING HIS RIGHT ARM.

Fucking awesome.

His bike had the throttle on the left and it turned in the opposite direction so that he could pull the clutch in while rolling off the throttle simultaneously.

Both brakes were operated with the right foot. Dude was smooth out there, in the rain even

Bullshit. The Buell has the shortest wheel base on the planet. Tail gate closed FTMFW.

Yup, and I put a 4X4 and a 2X6 in front of the front tire, to space it off the tonneau cover a bit. Fits like a glove.

XB LONG.

Further, even with the 54" wheelbase, a 6ft bed would be a stretch...

54" wheelbase...
add 8.5" to each side for 17" wheels (total of 17")...

Without tires you'd still have a 71" span... since 72" = 6ft, it's never gonna happen.

you might be able to sit it diag. and close it ... but fuck it... tail gate down isn't bad... unless the tire is sitting on the tail gate... then you may run into issues
