Fellow trikers

[thestud25]

The keys handed off,
the warnings adhered.

An old flame arises,
one state away.

Hampton Beach to unwind,
on the Buell sans helmet.

She saw me go by,
then she pursued it.

Taken she is,
for how long's the question.

Fabio's back,
her man will regret it.

Early a.m.,
the straight pipe she'll blaze.

Sober as a judge,
in the Freightliner I'll rage.

Grinding those gears,
heading in the right direction.

Sooner than later,
she'll get my....

Good night all. Hands steady on the wheel early tomorrow (or today) we begin a new destination. One that will be much more desirable than those traveled mere hours ago. Just by chance she saw me. Everything happens for a reason.

Without trucks, America stops.

Look we have our own triker Robert Frost!! Lol, good to see you are getting your head right.

Oh god!Driving that truck would make me go goofy.I know it isn't as much as the Buell.Think it is a little safer.Long haul or day trips?Is that the truck newbies get?Good luck with the new job.Keep the poetry going too.Pretty good at.Only poetry I can relate to.

You seem like a good man.
Nonetheless, life has its up's and it's down's.
When you go down, there's nothing you can do but go back up.
Keep on truckin and triken buddy

I'll be in the truck for days at a time. Been up for almost 24 hours now. Just getting ready to hit the hay.

This isn't the best truck, but it's not the newbie truck. I know people.

I'd like to thank Dan for this. This was all his idea. When I lost my marbles I was seriously considering selling everything I owned including my house and becoming a nomad. I was going to live out of my camper. Dan pointed out I could do this and still keep everything. The thought hadn't even crossed my mind. Although this is a lot more work, but it'll get easier as I go. I just dropped $300 on a truck GPS. After the day/night I just had attempting to drive a tractor trailer using a car GPS, I would have to HIGHLY advise against trying to do that.

good luck out on the road and be careful of the lot lizards!

One part man, one part mule, one part fossil fuel! It's important not to break stride, for all the reasons in the world and to re-invent one's self from time to time for the same reasons. Good on you John.

Report in John, how are things ? Hoping for the best for ya !

I drove for one month and one day. It did what I needed it to. It cleared my head and made me miss my home which I was on the verge of selling before I took that job. I had completely lost it and now I'm coming back. I'm still a friggin maniac, the Buell still beckons me from time to time, but I'm doing better than I was. I've got some irons in the fire as far as a career I can retire from, but for the time being I'm more than likely going to be doing some flatbed work for the guy I was driving over the road for. He knows I'm looking for a career and doesn't mind if I just use the flatbed work to fill in for the meantime. Thanks for asking Bill.

Great to see you back on the road and feeling better, albeit on 18 wheels instead of two! There's a lot of support from folks on here for you, me included. If you ever feel the need to come North, look me up. Lot's of quiet "thinking" places here. I drove tractor trailers while serving for 20 years in the Canadian Forces. I enjoyed flat decks way more than vans, more diverse loads, maybe you will too?

[atc007]

Saw you went on the ride with the boys. That was great to see ! . Glad to hear from you. You are a great, smart,genuine dude who is gonna land on your feet happy somewhere.
