TRUCKIN'

In America everything is bigger. The food portions are bigger. The people are bigger. And their trucks are seriously bigger. They look great-loads of chrome and a sleeper cab the size of a caravan. But whats the point?? The whole idea of having a bigger engine is to pull a greater weight, but they still work under the same weight restrictions as the trucks throughout Europe ie. 8 ton per axle. And so the point of these great big trucks must purely be; to look good. With fuel 3 times more expensive in Europe than here, it makes you wonder when is America gong to realise that the global gas tank is in the red. I'm looking forward to the day when we're all back on the bicycle. I'm ready for it anyway. For the record, this bicycle has travelled 19,000KMs on less than a cup full of oil. 10-4 Good-Buddy
