quote:I emailed him to ask him what the hell he meant by "oil change". The response? "Scooters need oil changes just like a car". A guy in his 50s was making conversation last week when I stopped on my Minsk (a two-stroke). He claimed to have a 2-stroke Yamaha dirtbike back home, and wanted to know where I put the oil in my bike. "Mixed in with the fuel, 5%" wasn't enough, and he wasn't talking about the chain or clutch fluid or anything else either. He kept insisting that a two-stroke engine should have a separate source of oil. I wonder where the hell he's adding his...

Throatwarbler posted:I remember seeing on Jalopnik an ad for a similar conversion using a bike rear end and a GM W-body front, either a Buick or an Olds. The car's FWD drivetrain was retained, which seems to make a lot more sense than this. Makes me want to go to the local JDM halfcut store, buy the front end of a Ver 8 STi and make a trike out of it. I saw that (or something very similar) on Tampa Craigslist and posted it here a few months ago. Found it again: Click here for the full 1582x930 image.

VideoTapir posted:Maybe the idiot heard r32s were legal and thought that applied to all on them. Post a little old but: a year or two ago I saw a late-ish model Africa Twin for sale on ADV Rider in Cali. It was titled as a Goldwing leica posted:I believe that if you are a true JDM fanboi you should just move to loving Japan or Aus you'd be better off. Australia got a lot of the Japanese stuff normally, but it's not particularly well-suited for grey market imports AFAIK. They've got a hard cutoff of pre-1989 rather than the 25 year thing, the only way around it aside from very expensive compliancing is to be a citizen/permanent resident and own it for a year overseas, then bring it in under the Personal Vehicle Import Scheme, which you can do once every five years. A mate of mine in Japan did that with an RX7, I'm moving there but not a resident so it wasn't open to me. You also have to kinda prove you were using it; my neighbour was Aussie and I thought about picking up an Africa Twin and putting it in his name, but since he doesn't have a license it wouldn't be hard for a hard-nosed Customs agent to spot something fishy. Human Grand Prix posted:It's cool when the unobtanium model needs maintenance and you are right hosed for parts. I had the inverse of this problem living in Japan. The CDI unit on my '91 XLR Baja gave up the ghost right before my big road trip. The Baja's were really only sold in Japan (maybe a few in Europe/Russia) but were grey or black market exported to Southeast Asia in large numbers, to the point where parts specific to the Baja can be a real bitch to find in Japan nowadays. The mechanic called Honda Japan and I scoured every parts dealer I could find online in the whole country and came up empty (lucky me, the CDI unit was specific to the Baja due to an upgraded light package), Yahoo Auctions had no junkyard pulls up at the time, so I had to give up and rent for three weeks instead. I spent as much on that rental as I did on the bike in the first place ($1000) On the plus side the guy I had lined up to buy it had his own small business fixing electrical problems on bikes, so was still happy to pay my original (admittedly kinda low) asking price. I did have to ship it to him rather than drop it off at the end of my trip, but we split that two ways. Pompous Rhombus fucked around with this message at 16:25 on Dec 24, 2014 |

https://www.rvtrader.com/listing/2005-Sportsmobile-CUSTOM-DESIGN-120615319quote:This is a 2005 Pontiac Vibe that has been converted to a camping car. Register as normal car because this is add on camper shell just like truck camper. Awesome to drive, still low enough not to get blown around. This camper shell is solidly mounted to car, been through plenty of high winds and this top is going No where. Shell is bolted into roof of car and also attached into the hitch. Metal bracing in the back. , so it can be removed but I hope no one ever will.Car gets 24 mph on flat terrain and will climb mountains and still get 20mpg. Car has cruise control, power windows,doors,locks. Cold A/C and Heat work perfectly . Pioneer Stereo and 4 Pioneer speakers with Sub woofer under drivers seat. New Tires. B&M transmission supercooler KC daylighters, smoked LED marker lights, LED Cab and marker lights, and tail lights. This vehicle is superb for parking overnight at rest areas and truck stops. Two adults can sleep up top but it is rather tight. One person feels like a king inside the camper. The camper is a Bed that is mounted to roof 8 feet long. Front area is a awesome storage area for baggage and Water Jugs. Reading lights, Fantastic Fan with thermostat and reversable air and 3 speeds. 1300 watt Power Inverter is wired to both sides of camper shell. on the Galley Side, the other is under the 5.1 surround sound stereo with aux input. Movies are awesome in this car. Toaster Oven and Coffee Pot area, lots of cupboard space and shelf space as well. Rear seats are available but were removed parts to lighten up the car. Has 2 house batteries that keep this car on the road with no charging for about 5 days on average until need a recharge. 2 200 watt heaters.This car was built to travel and save $100 a night at hotels. So far This car has saved thousands. The car has extremely good pick up and stopping ability. Brand new Portapotty in box included. Having a toilet in back of car has some serious advantages. Gross Gas stations? use your own bathroom. Traveling with a toilet in back is a huge bonus. Transmission fluid is nice and clean, Engine Oil is Synthetic since 75,000miles. No odors or bad smells, no leaks.Fun to drive and opens up alot more adventure on roadtrips.A/C cord can plug directly into Camper wiring, unplug power inverter and plug ac in to power off of shore instead of using battery power. Solid State Battery Charger included to charge house batteries. I have all the removed parts if desired. This car is ready for where ever you want to go. So far it has seen Texas, Kansas, Nebraska,Maine,Long Island (small enough to take on Fairy).Fits in a compact car space. More pictures to come of inside car. Bonus pic of gooncave interior:
