    Tw 200

    I also had one of these bikes. Was ideal for my purposes. More off road than pavement. Not saying they cant be used on the highway but they are not fast in this application. Good in town and on the trails, Dual purpose--thats their thing. You can get better "dirt" bikes and better "highway"...

    school bus toy hauler conversion

    This thread was an interesting read for me. School bus mechanic 1966 to 2011. I did convert one in the mid 90s. Used it as a hunting fishing bus. If I was to do it again I would for sure make it a hauler too. Raising the roof for more head room is actually a pretty easy mod on a school bus...

    deleting a 2017 f-350

    Cant imagine ever needing to do a delete on my truck. Doesn't seem possible that it could be improved. Good power and really good fuel mileage. 2018 ZR2 with a minimax. Extra cab not a four door. Good enough for an old guy.
