    Must be an enduro. On/off road. See the blinkers making it street legal?
    Don't think I'd enjoy riding those tires on the pavement much though.
    Interesting, but not enough.

    It's an off road bike, but street legal. It's low, easy to ride, and bulletproof. It's changed about nothing since introduced in the early 80's. 200cc air cooled 4 stroke. It's got a clutch though.

    That or this, but they are hard to find. Only made for a couple of years in mid 80s. Honda tr200. Auto clutch 5 spd. Similar but atv tires, and off road only. Picture019Ar.jpg

    Dual purpose bike, enduros are not street legal.

    Those tires are pretty decent, both on and off road. They can be pretty fun on road, even those 50/50 tires.

    No, but I've been known to do that.

    Woke up to heavy snow and sleet blowing by the door. Looks like we have gotten about 4" so far. They say it is supposed to continue until later tonight. Getting the morning intake of caffeine, Supposed to be doing Med Appt. drives today for two dialysis patients. That is gonna suck as it is a 40 mile drive each way on the Trans Canada Hwy. Oh well, time for some breakfast and then motor on. Everyone have a good, safe day.

    Giz and I found an inch of snow when she went out at 5 this morning... snowing hard now. Nice and dry fluffy stuff so far. What a difference that makes during removal.

    Caffeine going down. Nice to not have to go out right away to clean this snow up and go to work. I decided to put the plow on the truck last night instead of waiting and doing it in the snow. It is a quick mount system but I was glad I did it last night. It ended up not lining up right and I had to mess with it for a while before I got it just right. (And I even had it set on boards from last spring :picard:, usually don't have any problems with it.) What will I work on today? The weather outside is frightful, so I may work inside besides some shoveling of walkways after I plow. The mild winds yesterday afternoon and last night made me realize that the colder temperatures are here!:shiver:

    My friend had a fat cat growing up. It was awesome. I don't know why they quit making them?

    My older brothers had mini-bikes when they were 13-16 y.o., really cool and fun. One had fatter tires than the other. Neither were Honda's. This would have been around 1975-ish.

    Clear and cold this morning although not quite freezing. We are going out to gather firewood this morning. Working on filling Granny's empty outside shed while the weather is good.

    The outside temp is at 25, I plowed our driveway and made my way down to the neighbors to do his.

    We're getting freezing rain so I'm sure the roads are slick.

    Well, spent some time relaxing with kids this morning. Made breakfast, a scrambled eggs/bacon/cheese combo with salt/pepper/garlic powder in the cast iron pan on top of the stove and had some toast with. Tasty! Then cleaned up the mess I made in the kitchen. :picard:Played some Kings in the Corners with the kids. Then waited for my wife to get home from hair appointment. Then I got to go out and plow. The Silverado with this new plow is real nice. Take my time and enjoy it. Plowed my neighbor out, he doesn't need me to but it saves him some time in his old Gehl skid steer.

    Cold but sunny now. Campinspecter decided to stay home and move wood into the basement as we will be getting some colder temps. Meanwhile I am trying to stay away from FHC while completing some projects around the house.

    Well, I just got moving about a cord of wood back to my house from my neighbor that I cut and blocked up this summer. I had put up 5 bins (about 4 cords) up from his pile of wood (the only reason I cut the pile up was because it contain a big Honey Locust) that he gotten and then he decided that he was getting too old to burn wood. I told him I'd move it this winter... Fast forward to this weekend, I went over to visit them to see how they were doing and Christmas wishes. He proceeded to tell me that he gave away a bin and half of the wood out there. I told him I'd move the rest this week while on vacation. I go over there today and he proceeds to tell me that the ones on the north side is what I could take. That the other 2 bins was his (that had more of my Honey Locust in it).... So I ended up with basically only 1 cord. I love the old man to death, but this is the third time that he has bit me in the last year ( I personally think his memory is failing, but I'm not going to fight the issue its not worth it)... But I will probably get my last four water tanks out there this week, and cut my loss's... Off my rant block and off my chest...
