The Trailblazer is either the LL8 4.2L I-6, the LM4 5.3 V8, or detuned Corvette LS2 6.0 V8.

The Coloardo/Canyon/H3 used the L52 3.5L I5, LLR 3.7L I5, or the 5.3L V8. I am not sure which RPO it uses. There also is a 4 banger, but I got to go, bug me later about it. : )

If someone is in need of a ride from Florida along the I-75 corridor, and may be willing to toss in a bit for gas, I'll more than likely have a 2 bike trailer with only one on it.. Can give bikes or gear etc rides... A small forewarning - will be having my daughter until about an hour or so before getting to Suches - meeting my ex so she can see her for spring break! Leaving FL thursday night, probably short snooze break at a rest area in Valdosta/Adel area... This would greatly help me out as well - running REAL tight on funds for this trip..

Tim-
I stopped by Zylstra's today to say hi. Where were you?

Last time I looked at my 2002 Trailblazer it had 6 cyclinders. Maybe that's why it has no pulling power after 65mph, someone took one of the cyclinders.

I just found out that someone in Darrell's office realized that this is Easter weekend and they shouldn't work. So now he has to the next weekend, so he's out.

Maybe we should just bite the bullet and drive 2 vehicles. I wasn't really looking forward to squeezing these tired old legs into a club cab anyway.

I up Sunday.
Brian and I went up to do a few loops, and ride around.
Going up 60 from TWO I found some gravel.
The bike felt like it just folded up under me.
My knee took the hit, it hurts.
The bike broke the front brake lever, the right foot peg, and my crossroads are bent.
That's about it, I think.
Good thing we were taking it easy, or Brain could have run me over, 1098 tracks across my back would not have been fun.
I'm sure (pretty sure) I can have the bike fixed before MB-V, but, I'm not sure I'll be riding, I can't get my knee in the riding position, hopefully there's enough time, and I'm not too old to heal up quickly.

Tekrat-thanks for offering up some space on your trailer. I fixed my truck so I'll be in Suches early thursday as planned.

Glitch,

Somehow I have the feeling that if you had knocked your helmet off with your head in it people would be telling you to HTFU}. Now seeing as how this is a really fresh problem, and it probably still hurts quite a bit, I think that those responding in this mannor are rude and insensitive to your condition.





HTFU any way!!!

Really though, hope it heals fast.

Glad to hear all is ok there Glitch.

The more I look at the weather the more gear I stuff in my waterproof bag.
I'm going with the "cold" weather sleeping bag.
Extra blanket and I may even bring my drool soaked pillow.

Hey Vern, We may need to spoon out of necessity this time not just for fun!

Not so much bad luck this time around. Cold, Brand New tires and 2nd time out on the new ride. Seems to have a bit more power for gassing out of turns, it is by far, not my 9r.

All is good, parts will be here in time and no damage to me.
Will see all in a few.
