I can't get the link to work. Is the asking price a typo? A 30-year old Astro with well over 100K miles for $33K? That sounds about $30K high...

No.

We got a CAT 2,000-watt inverter generator for about $500 or so, and it's been working well for us...

Yes- used ones are illegal under both federal EPA and California state CARB laws. You're gonna need a new one.

...or move out of California...

Federal EPA laws make it pretty much impossible to sell used catalytic converters, because the seller would become an accessory to a federal crime if the buyer installed it on a vehicle. Many states have laws against it too, including California's CARB. His only realistic option is going to be...

Very cool. I really like that colorway. What model and build kit did you get?

None. Like I said, the 53" tall tires are the stock tires. Plenty of room, even with the stock long-travel (16") fully-independent suspension. No, the stock brakes are absolutely massive, there are six of them, and the 11.9-liter (732 cubic inch) Cat turbodiesel comes stock with an automatic...

Lol, yeah. A six inch "lift kit" would put us over 14 feet tall...

It's going to be on hold for now, as getting this ranch sorted out seems like a full-time job right now...

E. There is never an acceptable reason to downgrade a safety component. There is no point in downgrading to a lower load range than the "E" minimum specified by Fiat, especially since you're carrying over a ton of weight in it. Remember, there are limits to how much money your liability...

The Super Cub is cool, but she already has a well-developed road-going motorcycle. We're looking for a motorcycle to use off-road, and since she already has a road-going motorcycle, we have no need for the new one to be road legal...

Good points, all. Yes, we have looked at something like a KX65 for her also. Our daughter had one after the TTR90E...

Did you not read my post? She already has one. And the Grom is not an off-road motorcycle.

I hate getting held up behind them, all the way down in first gear, slipping the clutch, cooling fan on, and sweating my ascend off in a one-piece leather racing suit, as they wobble through corners at little more than a walking pace, unable to hold their line, disturbing the peace with their...

Thank you. It has been an honor to serve...

It cracks me up when Harley-Davidson "lifestyle enthusiasts" refer to my MV Agusta as a "Jap bike", when their impotent morbidly obese two-wheeled whoopie cushions are a whole heck of a lot more Japanese than my hand-built Italian exotic.

Thanks, Charlie, but we will never put anything even remotely resembling 100K miles on this thing- I'll be surprised if we put another 10K miles on it...

The F3 was the last motorcycle designed by the late Massimo Tamburini, "the Michelangelo of Motorcycles".

Yeah, I gave up riding for general transportation purposes about five years ago. And now that we are in Texas where entertaining roads are rare, my MV Agusta will mostly be used just for track days.
