Guess I should clarify! I'd like a single up seat...no pillion seat needed! And a chrome or otherwise, luggage rack(if worse comes to worse I can always fabricate one)! Not sure what Id do with the passenger grab rail, and fender...that's not covered by the seat!
I'll be twenty years...next month...pulling a gas tanker! Our company is pretty good about not MAKING us run when the weather's crummy!Me too-- spent 1 1/2 years driving a 45 ton BOMB--believe it or not, I did not have 5,000 miles on a rig when I started.

I've been haulin' gas for almost twenty years here in the Springfield, MO area!
the ole lady thinks I've been hauling gas when I eat a lot of cabbage...
We have a winter weather advisory here tonight. Maybe up to 1/4 inch of ice before morning. It is a GREAT NIGHT not to be driving a tanker!
