    Kenworth K370 6X6 with BoxManufaktur Habitat & Torsion Free Subframe

    We had one of the earlier PX7. The emissions stuff kept it off the road allot. From what I've heard the later PX7 are really good. Love the build!

    E-bike or motorcycle for secondary vehicle

    I looked at electric then went dual sport as well. Reasons why: - revolving door of ebike mfg. - $$$ cost of batteries - parts avalibility over time I look for a Sherpa but they are few and far between in BC Canada. Ended up with a WR250R.

    The handle helps but direction of cut is more important. I've seen wheels shatter and grinders spin out more than one person's hands who were holding both handles because the grinder was pushing towards them. The grinder should always be pulling away. Here's an example at 1:05.
