In my area, there are many of them who drive around on garbage day pulling stuff off of the curb.  Whenever I have something metal to get rid of, I put it on the curb and it’s gone within half an hour.  They only get paid at the dump, and it blows my mind how much they drive around for how little they must make.

The way I’ve been living isn’t sustainable, let’s be real.”

Knipex makes some really great stuff.  

That is awesome. I have to do the same pulling my arm in move to check my mirrors, and I still can’t see much other than my own shoulders.

Daaaaaaaaang!

I saw an unbelievably clean early first gen Escort on the road a few years ago, and was so surprised I nearly spit my coffee out.

I keep forgetting they make those Cubs, as I’ve yet to see one in person.  They do look neat.

Nice buy! I’ve actually never ridden a maxi-scooter other than a Helix, which I hated the riding position of. I’d really love to try a Silverwing out. $1500 is a killer deal. If I found one for that price, I’d buy it in a heartbeat, and flip it if I didn’t like it.

Daaaaaaaang!  Now that is a unicorn!

I completely agree about the looks of the Big Ruckus vs. the Reflex. I’d certainly rather have a funky Rucky, but those looks come with a BIG price tag.

You should try one out. I’m rather obsessed with scooters. They’re awesome. If you like a Ruckus, check out a ‘09-’15 Yamaha Zuma 125. They’re a lot more usable, have similar looks (a little more conventional), and go for close to the same money. They're also fuel injected.

Te Big Ruckuses go for stupid money. A Honda Reflex is mechanically identical, and they go for less than half the price.

I've owned the truck since new. I give it an underbody wash whenever it gets above freezing in the winter. That has helped for sure.

Literally dozens of people are now sad.

Glorious!

Already done. Hitch came off no problem with my battery powered impact. The old bumper required a bit of sawzalling.

I have a scooter gas tank that I need to try this with.

I hate motorcycles with stereos. I hate the D-bags that ride through neighborhoods blasting their lame music over the sound of their open ripes revving out from stop sign to stop sign, with a burning passion. 

My daughters love watching these compilations.

I say this as a guy who likes a lot of malaise era stuff, but you can push all these bustle-backs into the river and forget about them. They’re all hideous.
