One, count 'em, one Duro Hf307 4.00-19 tire for Arpok. Cedar Rapids Tire has moved back the delivery date from 11/1 but I managed to find possibly the last one in the US. Looks like there may be several available in Canuckistan but the shipping would be a killer.

The front tire is just about bald, the pusher is good for the upcoming winter months, and the sidecar tire is just there for the ride.

I bought a motion activated light for the front door. My wife was tired of coming home and not being able to see the key to open the door. Didn't know if it worked until sundown, but it does. There was absolutely no paperwork in the box, way to go Lowes.

I bought a new Templar X today! Now I’m officially a China Bike rider! Old Hap is Happy! Can’t wait to hit the trails with my grand boy! I appreciate all the information I have received since I joined this forum. I’m so glad I gave myself time to get educated about China bikes before I made my purchase. I know I made the best choice I could have made for what I wanted in a bike. About to jump on EBay and Amazon now for a few mods I have links too. Thanks again to you guys. I’ll keep you guys posted as to how the delivery goes.

Cats.JPG

Bought new primary and secondary catalytic converters for the $500 (that really isn't anywhere near $500 anymore) Nissan XTerra. This should be the last thing for the check engine light. Just need to make sure that the head gasket sealer stuff is still working so I don't wreck a brand new set of cats. Everything should be here by Friday and I'll work on it over the weekend.

I am back again! I bought a 2019 CSC TT250 with 49 miles on it from a member here. Once I cleaned the carb and changed the battery it runs good.

Two motorcycles.

Red 1969 Honda CT90 and orange 1972. OG adventure bikes! Between them, they have about 4300 miles on them total. Comes with three manuals, one being an original Honda CT90 etc. manual. Orange one has the spare gas tank. He is looking for the mount, and the right side covers for both bikes. Also two spare tires. Not currently running, but did three years ago when stored. These are easy to get going again.

Yeah, a nice old guy, 84 YO. Gave him what he was asking, $2200. Very reasonable for the condition. The spare gas tank alone is worth about $400! Crazy.

I will pick them up later. Gave him a down payment and got a written agreement until we can arrange a pickup date. (Need to borrow a trailer.)

A starter for... You guessed it... The $500 Nissan Xterra. At this rate, I would have been better off just buying a new car...
