If the Gods will it, I'll be back in Africa this time next year and I've got 79-Series Land Cruisers on the brain real bad. [I understand this will make my Defender sad, but I don't care all that much.]

My colleague just shared this photo of his dad's 1969 Honda scrambler, bought it new in 1969, all original except the tires and the seat. Starts on the first try every time, lots of miles on it. #motoksy

I've got this Colorado TrailBoss on loan for a couple of weeks, and it looks pretty fucking cool, but with something like $6k in custom King Shocks, a lift, and suspension and wheel/tire "upgrades", it drives terribly! The original TrailBoss package was perfectly adequate!

I mean, I get it, 21k miles is not a lot of miles - but $17,500 for any NA is not a good price. Get a lightly used ND for that money! www.facebook.com/share/1Ac9JF...

I'm getting close to firing up the $200 K100 I've been working on this summer. Before I did, I said to myself, "Self, you should see what's going on behind that water/oil pump cover before starting this thing. It's only 6 bolts." Folks, I am glad I did. #motosky
