I put a note in your build thread (Garage).

So your new build is the track/off road frame rescue you spoke of in the for sale section? If it's a track bike (which is crazy, I've tried it), There are plenty of opportunities for you to lose some weight off that bike. And did you pull the balance shafts? As a track bike, you surely don't need a HISS ecu, that can be deleted. There's a few ECU's on ebay for <300 USD, but be careful of buying an ECU from a restricted area. Very hard to tell which areas had restricted ECU's. I know Japan did, and I've heard that South Africa did. Other areas relied on mechanical restriction rather than electrical management.

No reader aids.

Yeah, there are some gems in the dirt, but you have to sift a lot.

Welcome aboard, Neil. I'm sure you'll get some good information here. Your membership has been approved. Myself would put fuel to it and hit the starter.

Wausau? Wauzatt?

Looks like a lot of suspension work. Attractive, though. Fur, do you know these trucks, or are you just surfing facebook? I would consider a distance vehicle if you or many others here vouched for it, but I'm not dragging thousands of miles across the country to deal with "it just needs a ..." or geez, the A/C worked yesterday. I've played this game too many times.

So do you see any of these in your travels?

"diesel" Plus, it's a 7.3, so the power to weight is about the same as a grom..😜

That's the good side.

And THEN you find the perfect truck in your own back yard.... and the bastard will NOT sell

We'll, when this was published, there were less than a dozen different bikes on the market, soooo.......

Thank you, you're quite right, 4wd is one of my larger check boxes. And while mileage isn't a priority, 340k on a gas engine is getting right up there. That said, I would not immediately dismiss a very good example 2WD.

Hey all, I have a (re)new to me resource for motorcyclists and while I can't produce copies, I would be glad to look up and post answers to any concerns you may have as beginner or expert riders!

Oh you shouldn't be searching. I can Google and use FB/Craigslist. I don't expect folks to run around to their local dealers looking for vehicles for me. I'm thinking more of family and friends that have a truck for sale that one knows has been taken care of, not beat on, etc. Price is based on what it is, and price is a part of my 100 and 200k cost predictions. Later model lower mileage will be more money but predictably less outlay for repairs and service, even though nearly new vs used tend to even out over a 200k mile lifespan predictive cost analysis. But unless it's a brand new diesel pickup, I can't envision myself going into debt for anything more than $30000 at this point in my life, and hopefully much closer to half that figure. For instance, the 3.0 diesel Silverado 1500 I looked at was $28,900.
