Silly low cc bikes make the best dumb bike builds. That Cub is a piece of art and I love it. I built a ‘70 CB175 (practically a Goldwing compared to this thing) to be a goofy little neighborhood racer. They’re so much fun. Loud, slow, and uncomfortable. Just the way it should be.
The gentleman who bought it from me…
I’m 6’2”, 240 lbs, and I went with a ‘95 XT600 for $1,000. It has enough grunt to haul my hefty ass at highway speeds without too much crankiness, lol. Used dual sport/enduro models will generally run <$1000 for a 90’s sub 600cc model. $1,000-$1,500 for a 600cc+ model of the same vintage. Get into the 00’s and plan on…
Looks like it’ll be a fun build. I recently decided to go on a similar path with my latest bike project, but I elected to go with a much fatter model, lol. A ‘95 XT600 has found it’s way into my garage. Soon to be seen with big waterproof bags sagging the subframe on big adventure rides, haha.
Had a ‘91 Cadillac Sedan DeVille that I was selling, since it was replaced by an ‘86 Toyota Cressida (I had a thing for plush old cruisers back in the day).
Peruse their exhibit list, it’s basically an aviation enthusiast’s dream list. SR71, modern jets, WWII era fighters and bombers. I could spend all day there and still not be satisfied. So much to see.
President Johnson’s actual JetStar is on display at Hill AFB here in Utah. Very cool to see in person, the presidential livery looks amazing. One of many VERY interesting planes that we have in our humble little museum out here.

That’s a damn fact. Mine has to be parked slightly uphill or the rear end leaks all the way through the torque tube.
Whoever had my ‘62 before me tossed a solo mirror on the fender. It wears it very well. Good thing the whole greenhouse of the car is essentially glass, because that single mirror is utterly useless!
Other branches have badass battalions of diesel KLR650s:
I was able to sit in the back seat just fine with someone normal sized in the front, but with a 6'5" driver, that rear seat space will disappear very quickly, lol.
71-80% jalop. 1962 AMC Rambler. I concur with the findings, lol.
Honestly, it's got PLENTY of room. I'm 6'1", sat in the last prototype (which appears to be basically just this with no major changes) and had plenty of room all around. Your back seat passenger will hate life, but honestly, if you're running solo, you'll likely be just fine.
Had an 86 years ago, in my foolish "sure, let's rice stuff out" phase. It was sun faded light blue with the blue velour interior. Ran very well in stock form, so in my stupidity, felt it was necessary to just ruin it. Had a catback fabbed up for it, and in a really dumb move, threw a dry 50 shot NOS kit.
We…
I need to do something fun with my flesh colored '62 Classic Deluxe. Ramblers are such fun cars, every time I drive it, someone will pull up next to me and tell me their own Rambler story. Seems everyone here has some sort of history with one.
Agreed 1000%. Most gorgeous Ferrari product of that era, hands down. We had one at the dealership for a while and I had to show the buyer how to install the "covered wagon" temp roof. While the car was on the showroom floor. In the middle of the Wynn in Las Vegas. No pressure. It was one of the most ridiculous things…
As the man who would actually help out with doing the work, I can tell you, we all wore crappy Cintas uniforms. Alas, they saved the bespoke suits for the salesmen upstairs.
That video was shot at Rocky Mountain Raceways here in Salt Lake City, Utah. They also do double decker racing (think Top Gear), trailer races, and other shenanigans.
Hey, my MKIV is an absolute peach. I mean, sure, it gets 19/24 MPG. But that's because it vrooms and wooshes. VROOMS AND WOOSHES. And it has a fantastic sunroof. That doesn't work unless it's raining. It's a safety feature, really. Don't want to tussle my perfectly Teutonic hair. And the passenger side window has…
Late August birthday here, made me the youngest by nearly a full year. Then, managed to skip the 3rd grade entirely, because, while I was smart, I wasn't nearly smart enough to realize that my parents were sabotaging my entire social life from that point forward. Fast forward to my senior year of high school which I…
Keep in mind, it's not really the uploader's choice. Youtube makes that call. I've had my videos region blocked because of the music I've used. So, if you're going to blame someone, blame Youtube's copyright protocols.
