Picked up at a swap meet. Because...I don't know, I had a feeling about it. Dirt cheap and the owner told me all this fumbling stuff about why it wouldn't start that gave me the idea he was clueless. Had Earnhardt stickers all over it for some reason. Got those off. Spare battery from the Templar in it. Cleaned the carb and reconnected a loose fuel line. Found a wire unplugged and away I went. 49cc 2 stroke. Looks and runs great to be 20 years old. Figured it to hang off the back of the RV since wife isn't into two up on the Templar for some reason. She test drove the scooter in the front yard. Crashed into the grass (gently) and now isn't allowed to ride in front.
Has a keyless remote start for some reason.

A used rear fender for the Ural. I couldn't argue that it's the wrong color for $60. I'll get it bead blasted and shot a light OD and go from there.

I picked up a 2021 Moto Guzzi 85TT......been wanting one since they came out....had 1,468 miles on it

(Got my 2013 Honda NC700X and my 2013 Moto Guzzi V7 for sale, if anyone is looking...)

Dunlop D605 in 4.10x18 (went another direction in size), a new tube, a new rim strip, and a tune up kit for my Craftsman LT2000.

A Cub Cadet XT2 LT42 riding mower. This will make short work of my lawn with no effort on my part. Got it only due to my heart/artery situation. I was fine with the self-propelled walk-behind Honda mower. The Honda will still be useful for areas that the Cub can't get into.

The XT2 line is upgraded from the XT1. Better deck, front wheel bearings vs bushings, and a front bumper. Went with the 42" size because that's what fits into my garage. (Garage has double folding doors; I keep one side permanently closed.) I had them install the mulch kit--mulch blades and a plug for the discharge opening.
