Every job takes more time locating the tools then the actual work in my experience. But I have so many projects going on, I don't have time to put them away
I love that Sportsman. Metal airbox cover? Wow! Clearly NOT Chinese. 2 stroke? I can't see any expansion chamber or standard exhaust. Wait, it is a 400cc engine. That's not a 2 stroke!

You ever catch yourself not being able to see something that's right in front of you because you thought the handle was red when it was actually BLUE? That's a relatively new one for me.

It gets worse. I spent half a day looking for a blue sweatshirt that was actually grey.

I'm on day 4 or so of looking for the case to my readers. I have just about written it off, but I SWEAR that case is grey!

I suppose I could mount the action cam on the front rack when I haul a 5 gallon bucket of fallen apples into the woods for the critters. 10 mph is pretty boring, tho.

0-60, the Sporty is pretty quick, but that’s all she wrote. Hits the rev limiter and runs out of breath. 0-60, the Ural has a lot of sound and fury that signifies nothing. But it will catch and pass the Sporty, unless it’s uphill.

I’ll probably do another apple dump run late next week and do a boring YT video.

Stock hp is 38@5750 rpm. For buckets of money, it’s possible to squeeze out 75hp@8000 rpm. I can lift the front end now without trying too hard. Guy down the street has a modded ATV that hauls.
