Official Colorado Spotted Thread

It's an improvement on the 2015 TRD Pro inferno color.

 

for $42,600!?!?!!!

 

Unfortunately that's the reality of Toyota prices right now. Take a peak at the ones even for sale on here

 

Only if it had the skewp......

 

i think the ones that are stamped on the tailgate are tundras

 

i saw someone post there 2016 SR5 with 106,000k for $30k. no parts list but from the photo just looked like wheels and tires..

 

The 2022 Tacoma Pro have stamped bedsides.

yeah and the tundras are stamped with "tundra" on the tailgate

 

Spotted: 11:15pm. I25 near Arapahoe. Two people on a motor scooter. Maybe a Vespa.

Impressive that you were able to do 50+mph, but that's still far too slow for that highway at that time of night.

 

They were on the highway? Hope you called the po-po.. 2 people were just killed last week near Castle Rock on I-25 while changing their flat tire.

 

I'm not sure if they were actually breaking any law. Maybe minimum speed, but I think they were just fast enough.

Maybe motor scooter-specific laws? I don't know those.

 

Ballsy non the less.. sheesh

 

I feel like there's a law that they need plates and a motorcycle license when they're over 50cc but I wouldn't imagine they'd have them. There's a group of folks building pretty suped up minibikes around Denver and GPS clocking like 80+ mphs. It's pretty amazing.

 

In 1990-1992 two of my best friends had Yamaha YSR50s and I had a CB1100F. We went everywhere and I never got out of 1st gear.

 

MEMORY WAS WRONG. See later post.

State law doesn’t matter. Federal interstates require a 250cc minimum engine size. No matter how fast your souped up Grom can go, you’re not allowed.

 

Can you point to a source for this? I spent a few minutes searching and only came up with forum posts and Q&A sites--nothing authoritative.

Even the forum posts were split between 50cc and 125-150cc as the minimum allowed, although some did recommend 250cc as the minimum safe.

I'll conceded that I didn't look very hard, but I expected a legal requirement would be easy enough to dig up.

 

I’m going from memory when I got my moto endorsement many years ago…

hm. Seems that it’s the normal federal/state mess of laws where there’s the base federal (>49cc) and then states may override that to be >149cc or more.

so I looked up Colorado at the dmv:

https://spl.cde.state.co.us/artemis/revserials/rev38m85internet/rev38m852018internet.pdf

unclear.

this website says scooters (anything less than 50cc) can not be operated on the highway. So it’s unclear.

No one questions confidence.

 

A pedant does.

 

If the world is going to this I'll just "drive" my '83 It465 to work few days a week, storing mixed gas cans in my office & swapping fouled spark plugs as needed.... guess the real investment will be that BD &/or DD lights be the need... I'll figure out how to power off the magneto... no worries on keeping up with traffic.... it'll do 99 with my fat ass on it

& I'm parking that big bitch widow maker in the empty cube right out side my office door to leak all its 2-stroke goodness on the carpet
