This week, I wanted to take Mrs. TwinStick out on a date night date with #ProjectSnowman and I came up with the idea to drive the rig to a local truck stop and ride Himiway e-bikes to a nice little restaurant cause I’m romantic like that. Of course, I highlighted how e-bikes are very well suited to truckers as there’s usually only garbage food at truck stops and truckers don’t get the opportunity to get much exercise. I mentioned this concept last year during the Lesco 2023 truck show episode and a lot of viewers commented that there’s no place to put the bike, so some friends of mine Blake (Fly, Weld, Fab) and Dallas (Single_Drive) came up with a new way to mount a bike rack up behind the cab so I decided to take this opportunity to try out proof of concept and it worked like a charm.

Nice job with Project Snowman Mark. Do you mind if I ask, if you decide to do a truck from MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE, which one would you like and find easier to do? Please and Thank you.
Cool❤
I appreciate how safety conscious Mark is. He uses the Jakes to make sure the servic brakes are always within DOT spec.
The people moving over because the Snowman is comin' through!🤣
Thanks for the laugh
I pulled a curtain side trailer from 2000 to 2005 and the company let me put a bike rack I made on the front of the trailer. I bought an old 10 speed bike to carry along with me. In the evenings, I would get the bike down and go for a ride. Good way to relax and get a little exercise!
I could see Buford chasin Bandit on that E bike LMAO 🤣
Mark, noticed that the driverside window crank was getting in ur way! take it off and turn it alittle down out of the way.. Thanks for taken Mrs TwinStick out to eat BBQ..
The bike jump had me rotflmao. The mud flap weights are awesome. Hope you and miss twin sticks had a good time. Your channel is my favourite thank you mark
A man who has a passion for trucks and put his blood sweat and tears into making his own dreams come true, followed by a wife who love and supports him no matter how crazy he gets with his projects trucks! Love it man keep up the awesome vids mark I enjoy watching them and always ready for the next video!!!
Those E-Bikes look like a lot of fun and a great idea for on the road. You sure know how to treat a lady, Mrs. TwinSticks seems like a lovely and very patient lady, you are a lucky man Mark, have a great week.
Mark plugs Blake’s channel frequently and for good reason. Fly, Weld, Fab has some awesome content and it’s hard not to like Blake. I’ve learned a lot watching that guy!
Thanks for watching!!
Blake helps him out so much, he deserves a lot of credit from Mark
Mornin Mark, Great video, interesting date night, Lorraine usually just likes to jump in the pickup and go to Brothers diner, but hey it's a date night with a pretty lady. Have a great week my friend say Hi to Mrs. Twin stix for us.
my dad used to run 2 45 foot trailers for McGavins Bread.. he would take me with him sometimes.. Nothing more fun than unhooking and backing up then hooking up and backing up. then unloading by hand, in regina, at 4am in -40 weather. I never been so cold in my life haha I Miss you Pops
Very cool Mark and Mrs Twin Sticks.
Enjoy your date night.
Hi Mark. Another idea to maybe save room. Move your pogo out and then pre-mount the bike rack to your mount. Then face your mount towards the bunk. if there is enough room, you might even be able to mount the receiver part of the mount under the bunk to save a little more room. you could potentially save 8-12 inches of space if you can get the receiver under the bunk in the gap. Might have to curve the bars down to clear, but that would save a ton of space.
very nice mark, loved the idea of the e bikes, and coolio the mud flap weights, m the UK.
TwinStix logo on mudflaps might not be movie correct, but it definitely looks sharp.
Good looking out and bringing a bit of awareness to truckers or anyone else regarding a proper diet. All that processed shit is designed to keep us sick. I think E-bikes are a great idea for truckers. They sacrifice so much but health shouldn't be one of them.
Cheers!
Hellow buddy good to see you an snow man truck
Hey Mark, Snoman ⛄️Looks Cool 😎With The 2 Ebikes Mounted on Back!@👍🫡
⛄️☃️
Thanks that’s a great shot of The Great Sheriff lol😅
Mark hope you an better half have a great date night buddy
Mark, I think you are missing something. You have a 53 foot boxcar. Deck it out as a living space.
G'day Mark ,
While some might question your virtue ,,
Not I,,,
What could be more romantic than the smell of diesel and the roar of Jake brakes .
Using the E bikes as a cover was also "semi" see-through, but brilliant.
Respect....!
Looks purdy slick on those mud flaps there Mark!!!
The fact that I know exact,y where your going and where your passing by it makes me hope I can spot snowman one day
Oops finger slipped... 😅😅😅😅😅 love it brother. ❤ from pnw oregon
Morning Twinsticks garage family... Thank you Mrs Twinsticks...for following along with all of Mark's shenanigans..lol..I know it definitely takes a team,if you will to make a win happen...I see so much joy in Mark's adventures,for him...not to mention all the joy he brings his viewers...I know you've got to be wondering"what's he going to be up to next"😂😂.... anyways...again thank you to the whole twinsticks garage family.as I know that many contributions came from,not just monetary,but with in ❤✝️🇨🇦💙✝️🇺🇸
Cheers 🍻
I'll be the one to state the obvious...Mrs. TwinSticks is a babe!!...🥰
What a great come back by the Oilers, time to get the cup!!!
the wife yelling at you about the jake was hilarious
Love how u always check ur brake and adjust . Even with the automatic slack adjusters. I always have my brakes checked and adjusted because I don’t trust the automatic slack adjuster… keep up the good work mark , been with ur channel since almost day one ❤
Mrs Twin sticks had me laughing . Mark Stop it! Thanks for another great episode!
Great lookin mud flap weights ,
I’ve always loved flat black, I had one bad 55 Chevy back in the seventies, Flat Black!!! One good looking Chevy
The mountain on the back of the frames is pretty good idea for those e bikes. When you have the trailer on, but when you don't have the Trailer on maybe a receiver hitch on the back of the truck.
So glad you took off those fender brackets!! Now you just have to straighten the steering wheel. Great job Mark..
Who doesn't love riding around with a Jake Brake. Riding with my dad, coming down a sharp hill in the residential area with the jakes on!!! LOL. I love your diabolical laugh every time you hit the Jake!! You can tell the level of "restored" when you have a non-cracked original KW steering wheel! Again Mark, Thanks for the Twinstick logo ! and the shout-out for my truck! Boy the LOGO looks sharp on the mud-flaps too. It's nice to see Mrs. Twinstick out on date-night! On another note: I know what model I'll do next. I'll send you an email with pictures!!
Cheers 🍻
Earl
great video Mark. I do believe MRS TWIN STIX was right when taken the better half out on a date you must first polish up the chariot.
Hi Mark & Mrs.Twinstick & it's is Randy and i like yours video is Cool & Thanks Mark & Mrs.Twinstick & Friends Randy
Those flaps look killer brother!
God Bless You both and Stay Safe 🙏 Out There
You really did a😊 awesome job. Truck and trailer looks great.
Mudflap weights look awesome I definitely want a set with KW logo like you were talking about!! My w900 is a 5 & 4 I left a mention in a little video I’ve done on it. Keep up the good work Mark!!
Hey mark the channel is fun to watch take care of the trucks and car and especially take care of ms.twin stick
They are absolutley great
they look amazing
Nothing cooler than a mom with a baseball cap on.😊
Wicked cool mudflap weights. The bicycle rack idea is genius because is see some bikes just strapped to the frame rails. Keep up the great work and stay safe out there.
I really enjoy the driving videos grew up around there always cool seeing how things have changed
Great you took you lovely lady out for dinner in “Snowman” its looks really good with those bikes on the the back, nice to have big boys toys, lol 😂 keep up the good work buddy! 👍🏻👏🏻🇬🇧
The truck looks great and sounds great just like the movie, cool bikes.
best momma line at 34:29 "you already have enough.."
Mark you gotta straighten that steering wheel up. Love the content buddy. Keep up the good work
Come on Mis twin sticks ! He is just having fun with his jake !! Look at that smile! Just look at it .
Psss hay Mark if she is fed up with your clowning around. Get read of her and I’ll marry ya hahahahahaha then you can build me a T/A lmbo hahahah omg . Jkjk glad y’all hade a good time brother.
Get your lady a AIR seat !!
I think these stainless logos would look fantastic on the LBL truck on the doors or bunk.
nice
Ya definitely need to paint the bikes in the same paint scheme as Snowman
Great episode mark love the new twin stick plates they look incredible.
The wife needs to know those Jake's are for her safety. You never know when a wild crazed penguin might enter the roadway!
I believe you have the bikes on backwards on the rack, the metal bar holds down the front wheel in front of the handle bars and the plastic straps keeps the back wheel secure.
There’s a fourth reason. It’s your truck and you can do what you want!😂
Another awesome 👏 video Mark!! Great to see you & Mrs TwinSticks out for date night in good ole Ban-One “Snowman”⛄️ Hope to get some time to come up to visit and see all your projects in person one day soon sir.
lescodistributors.ca/pro-show-2024/
luv it,, still have to get the tach and speedo workin
Go back a few episodes to see why they’re not working 👀
i love the truck
Cool episode
Hey Mark your supposed to take Mrs Twinsticks to somewhere expensive for dinner....the Circle K then the BBQ is your best bet lol
Just be thankful you don't live in my neck of the woods, Mark; you probably couldn't afford to play anymore... checked the fuel station today: $2.90/L for diesel, $2.30/L for regular gas. Thankfully we don't have to travel far on the regular, so it lasts more than a week, but still hurts to fuel up.
Mark, anyway having a bad heart I can't express enough truck drivers need to get out of the cab and walk, I know it's a pain in the butt, but exercise as much as you can, it's absolutely NO fun having dancing elephants on your chest. 😐 Well it's all mounted, yep, sure looks..........swell...The mud flaps look absolutely outstanding!🙂 Agree with ya on the flat black. Your behind the wheel video, gads the memories all come back, yep really miss it.😊
Nice Job Mark
Wow! I found snowman, I was driving a dump truck in the Indianapolis area in the mid 80’s and this truck and trailer was at a garage for the longest time. Always wanted to stop and look at the truck, but I was always in a hurry to dump that next load. Neat to see it again, glad it’s still running and turning heads. Thanks for the video.
Must’ve been a different rig as I built this setup from scratch and it’s never left Canada

Mark love this episode and way you put your bikes on the back of the truck. Never seen that before.
Yeah it’s an original idea #patentpending 👍
Luke the twin stick plack amazing ..e bikes well worth it
Those mudflab weights are Cool 😎
No way I almost ate there the other day on my way through Canada sounds like I should have.
Does Mrs Twinsticks know how lucky she is to get such a wonderful ride in an old KW 900? Well deserved first prize at the truck show last year.
That said, back in the 1980s, I took my wife - who also has a Class 1, but really was a homemaker looking after our kids at the time - on an extended 'date' hauling explosives from Kimberley to Yellowknife. She actually earned money on this trip because you needed to run team on explosives. She did good, running Peace River hill, for example, something which was quite new for her as she had not done a lot of hills before.
That bike needs fenders, Mark. Otherwise, if it rains, the trucker gets a really wet a..
Dam ol son that steering wheel is crocked as sin
Should probably have those twinstick garage metal plates on the flaps of LBL, unless u have it as wall art. 👍🏼
It’s in the plan 👍
@@TwinStixwhat year was the truck in the movie? 73?
@@rudycarlson8245one was a ‘73 the other was a ‘74 … my tribute is done to replicate the ‘74 despite being a ‘79
@@TwinStix you have done an absolutely beautiful job on yours! I appreciate any video that you can put out on the trucks
If you wanted to you can put a receiver hitch on the front of the trailer so it should not interfere with the air hose tree.
But other truckers may not have that option if they are swapping trailers a lot.
City busses have the racks on the front of the bus with a simple swing arm to go over the tire to secure it and those racks fold when not in use.
As I am thinking here there seems to be a few solutions that would work for a trucker to use.
Hey Mark you should put the mudflap weight on a mudflap and hang one up on the shop outside I think it would look good have a good date night brother keep up the good work love the Chanel
East bound and down!!
You gotta get the Milwaukee portable grease gun... it's a time saver!!!
🤔
Great idea and concept for truckers and the mount is great but is it possible for the mount to rotate so the bikes are vertical and raise up towards the cab? Some of our friendly neighborhood law enforcement agencies may not like the way it's currently mounted. And for some of us company guys with overzealous safety departments might be a better option. Vertical lock in place for wheels and mount assembly
Hi Mark, Mudflaps with the stainless logo inserts look fabulous. A little advertising for your channel never hurts, plus it looks pretty damn cool. I see Mrs. TwinSticks isn't a big fan of the Jakes. Couldn't help chuckle at her reaction when you were futzing with that little toggle on the dash. Apparently, she doesn't welcome all the attention that they draw when applied. Us guys definitely have a different view of what sounds good. Really enjoy your weekly video postings and content. Good day to you, Sir!
Fantastic videos 👍
Have you thought of turning your mudflap weights into wall clocks? Would make a brilliant addition to anyone's garage/workshop 👍
🤔
Maybe Blake can incorporate some square lazer cut holes in the flap weights for some stainless carriage bolts instead of hex bolts. That’s what most weights come with.
You should make the bike rack swivel out so you don't have to climb up.
I know you’re a movie purist, but half fenders would be just fine for Ol’Girl. Love the show and thank you 🙏
dbl clutch Ron. you might want to carry heavy bike cables and locks so nobody steals those bikes on truck or when at a restaurant . stay safe keep on rolling
So much better with those brackets off Mark! I did my K100 chassis in a flat colour; far better look.....
Eastbound and down
Good idea, but with air lines and trailer electric line connected to the trailer, it looks like the bike would be in the way of them while taking turns. Plus taking into account hauling a reefer.
Good morning everyone ✌️👍
good evening from down under.
@@jaytimms29557:15 am here in West Virginia 👍
Good morning.
Man I need a twin stick transmission for my 1980 Mack
& u could always mount a extrnal back up camera 📷, to keep an eye on the securement of yur bikes
Excellent suggestion 👍
Would you ever consider transforming the smokey and the bandit trailer into an RV style set up on the inside?...
Great video! Are you going to set the steering wheel straight?
It’s on the list
Like a big kid. Great Video.
I also think the mudflaps your talking about are called anti sail mudflaps they have a cast in spine like thing to give extra rigidity plus in australia we have steel 1/4” round bar that loops the whole mudflap form the bottom and goes up the back in the middle of each tyre so they if you back up and it pushes against it can’t catch the tyre tread and pull off also
Hey Mark u need 2 redo ur intro with snowman with the Jake's on they sound cool love ur channel
