nothing that a lift and some 31's won't cure. We can even convert it to the new style 2wd bikes. <<< not kidding 2wd bikes do exist and they only have 2 wheels before anyone says trike.

yeah, i know about the 2wd's. those things are beasts (at least the utility ones). so much power to the ground!

now that i've hauled it around for a few miles, i now know that i want a dirtbike. not to ride, but just to haul, because it looks so cool!

take the cap off, and the coolness factor goes waaaaay up!
The green bike is a larger bike, Classic Mini GP, IIRC.

Hey Ian! Definitely take the cap off and SELL it! Put some more $$$ in the pockets,... that's what I did. I think my Shelley's cap brought me $250 and it needed new hydraulic shocks in it.

You can mount your ham antenna (2m) or CB with an L-bracket / mount by taking one of your bed tie-downs out.

Good seeing you and hope you put that FM antenna on and threw the rusty one away! LOL

picked up a toolbox for the truck today. it's steel. meh, all right, but it needs to be bigger. i'm thinking: good first welding project (the seat brackets don't really count)

pics this weekend

edit: i picked it up for $40
