It's amazing how short the day is. It doesn't even seem real sometimes

 

Red white and blue

 

thats sick! sadly this one i couldnt get solid info on the motor... he said it might be locked up but not sure and isnt willing to go lower the 600 so not worth my time sadly.. maybe another one some day!

 

I don't remember who here told me to light up the duck, but since the wife was away and I don't want to go outside in the rain I decided to throw some LED's in the duck and wire it to my ignition.

 

pics or it didnt happen!

 

Well it's the first day of winter, shortest day of the year. About 3 months until riding season for me.

 

It's one of those weld yourself All-Pro racks. I grabbed it for like $300.....so couldn't pass it up

I really wanted one of the Brute Force bed racks that mount inside the bed...but just couldn't swing that cost.

 

i had a all pro rack years ago but mine was aluminum and i loved that thing! best rack i ever had! but sold it because i got the trailer and got a camper shell haha

my issue now is i want to keep my tonneau cover but its hard to do when i also will need a bed rack soon once the m100 is sold off.

 

Haven't been on the bike for two months. Prolly won't until March/April.

 

I found a 6ft utility bed not too far from my parents. I'm thinking about grabbing it and then building a slide-in camper. I could leave all my camping crap loaded up and just start using the truck as a camping rig. I priced out the 2x2 aluminum tube/insulation/etc. My only issue is how to skin it.

 

I managed to ride in to work this morning. 33 degrees but calling for about 45-46 this afternoon when I leave.

Funny thing is that one of our new hires was ahead of me coming down the last 2 miles to our shop and it's a nice somewhat twisty road. He's driving an old PT Cruiser and i caught up to him pretty quickly. He saw me catching up and thought at first it was a cop because of my extra lighting until I got really close and he realized it was a bike. He said he looked down to make sure he wasn't speeding first and then got nervous wondering why I was coming up that fast. I got a good laugh out of it.

 

those things are heavy! idk if id want to do that one tbh!

 

I rode to work too. Was a brisk 31..........back to mid/high 50's this weekend

 

That’s crazy, I have a street legal trail 70 and it’s so slow, I would feel much more comfortable zipping around on your bike with the extra power.

On a side note, was the grab bar above the rear fender added by you or was it already there when you got your bike? I’d like to have one

 

The small ones aren't that bad. The 8ft ones typically weigh b/t 400-600lbs. Figure maybe 300-400 for the 6ft'er

 

i guess that would be close to the oem bed weight would you chop it up a bit to make it more capable for offroad? those things sit pretty low usually

 

Probably not.

This is basically what it will look like



He ended up chopping it.

 

ABSOLUTELY Counts! Love the old honda minis.


I had a chinese remake of a Honda Z50 with a 110cc lifan 4speed manual that I put like 10k Miles with zero issues... that is until a loos chain fell off the rear sprocket and bunched up by the front sprocket and just exploded the case and transmission... that was a sad day.

 

not to bad with the chop tbh gives it more room the idea aint bad thou

 

Was just catching up with posts on this thread and saw the talk about the no-mar. I have to say, mine has paid for itself 30 times over. I even installed my 31in all terrain tires on my Tacoma with it and do car tires for everyone in my family with it and never had a problem.
