You know what scares me? These fucking things

I think the worst of the batch are the mid sized hardtails, the 185s/200s. The little 90s/110s are still fairly easy to tip but aren’t so powerful that it’s easy to get into trouble. The 185s/200s took the same primitive platform of balloon tires, zero suspension (some did have front suspension) and added enough power…

The Tecate is known as the fastest of the 250 3 wheelers, but it was supposedly a very difficult machine to tame. Power delivery was like a light switch and the suspension wasn’t quite on the level as Honda. The Tri-Z was better in the power and suspension departments, but the lack of a six speed limited it on the top…

3 wheelers are actually still really popular around here for ice races. I’ve got a modified 200x (200cc four stroke) that is an absolute blast to ride. I’ve done everything from trail riding in the mountains to frozen river riding with it without any problems. They really aren’t as dangerous as they’re made out to be,…

Started hearing of Busch Lattes sometime a year or so ago, honestly thought they did this last year as well.

My dad used to make this as well, which he learned from his dad. It’s always been described to me roughly the same as you mentioned, a goulash, or single dish meal made from most of the leftovers in the fridge. No set recipe. Honestly until today I thought this was something my grandpa just made up because I’ve never…

Super CP. I love these trucks and this is an exceptional example but these still fall under the category of “just an old truck” and have yet to hit the desirable collectible stage. 

That’s the one

I’ve seen them before, but never around here, there’s so much empty land around here that low lying flood lands are not in high demand. Plus we get really bad storms and the occasional tornado, we like our basements around here. 

My mistake, apologies for underestimating your ingenuity.

The track managed to produce a profit before the renovations, although it did have some tough years, and there were a lot of big plans for events here once the renovations were done so I think it still could. However, South Dakota put a kibosh on this current owners primary Payday Loan business and he shut down…

Honestly he hasn’t done much to screw it up, he’s hardly even held any races there. The track and business itself had a few tough years, and IIRC the previous owners were looking to retire. Chuck came in, bought the place changed the name (which was not appreciated by the locals) and renovated the whole place. He also…

Oh, people have complained, the city has basically told them to shove it, track was there first. 

74 acres plus the track, facilities, all equipment, and the business. Land prices around here are already 25-35K an acre (I’ve seen higher still). 7.4M is still probably too much, but it’s not terrible for everything you get.

He was planning on doing all sorts of events here, concerts, races, etc. But then SD capped the interest rates on his pay day loan business and he decided to pull all of his businesses out of the state. 

$200,000 doesn’t buy you even close to 74 acres of land around here, I’ve been acreage shopping lately and most land only prices in the area are anywhere from $25k - $35k per acre. This does sit in a flood plain though so it’s damn near worthless if you’re looking to build something on it. 

It’s more an issue of farm runoff from up river. 

During certain times of the year we could have jet boat/air boat races! 

IIRC he only hosted about half a season, I never went once it changed ownership. From what I heard there was a lot of disorganization with the racers, and he jacked the concession prices up. I think after some adjustment time though the track would have been successful, and it sounded like he had some good plans for…

The river that runs next it is so dirty that it is strongly recommended to not eat fish that come out of it, so probably not? Someone else mentioned the idea of a rally type course, now that I can get behind.
