Point

2018-07-19 21:18:16 UTC  

I saw the dump truck thing and thought we were on like yard work and landscaping shit

2018-07-19 21:18:27 UTC  

lol nah, fuck that

2018-07-19 21:18:30 UTC  

Shoulda scrolled up more lol

2018-07-19 21:19:06 UTC  

I want it for going up little goat trails made for side by sides, but street legal as well

2018-07-19 21:21:05 UTC  

Iunno

2018-07-19 21:21:15 UTC  

You should go full redneck anyway

2018-07-19 21:21:24 UTC  

Mini mall crawler

2018-07-19 21:22:08 UTC  

Engine swap a Honda Africa Twin

2018-07-19 21:23:18 UTC  

I hear Renault makes a 2 banger 2 stroke diesel

2018-07-19 21:24:19 UTC  

Yeah, but then I have to worry about parts

2018-07-19 21:24:47 UTC  

...same for the SDI too, come to think of it

2018-07-19 21:24:57 UTC  

Since they dont sell that in the states

2018-07-19 21:26:00 UTC  

Harley V-twin would be fine. Air cooled, pretty torquey, plenty available

2018-07-19 21:33:04 UTC  

oooo! Or something shaft driven, and then straight into the mini truck axle. Simple!

2018-07-19 22:08:17 UTC  

the whole point of motorcycles is them being light and manoeuvrable really, with the advantage of being able to filter/lane split

2018-07-19 22:08:33 UTC  

as soon as you turn them into trikes, they become entirely pointless since you get the worst of all worlds

2018-07-19 22:08:50 UTC  

you end up with something heavier, less good on fuel with no weather protection that has no traffic advantage

2018-07-19 22:09:06 UTC  

Assuming lane splitting is legal where you are

2018-07-19 22:09:29 UTC  

Even if it's not, if you travel any reasonable distance you're likely to go through states where it is

2018-07-19 22:09:45 UTC  

and again even if it's not, there are plenty of people who just ignore that

2018-07-19 22:10:58 UTC  

also, honestly, it's gonna cost you less to just pick up a small pickup

2018-07-19 22:11:36 UTC  

I have many times been tempted to get one of these https://www.gumtree.com/p/volkswagen/vw-caddy-pick-up-diesel/1306168421

2018-07-19 22:11:38 UTC  

Pickups aren't as small as a motorcycle trike

2018-07-19 22:12:52 UTC  

the size difference is not significant really

2018-07-19 22:13:06 UTC  

and this is probably smaller, through prohibitively expensive in this debate:

2018-07-19 22:13:53 UTC  

though the load carrying ability of that basically renders it kinda stupid, cute though

2018-07-19 22:18:16 UTC  

We don't have those haha

2018-07-19 22:18:49 UTC  

I'm looking for a street legal vehicle that is 55" in width or less

2018-07-19 22:18:59 UTC  

so I can take it on trails

2018-07-19 22:19:49 UTC  

I don't see why the mini pickup wouldn't be street legal, but the mini is wider than 55in

2018-07-19 22:20:35 UTC  

oh my mistake, the mini is dead on 55

2018-07-19 22:21:44 UTC  

I think the mini pickup would probably be too expensive though, not many were made and most rusted to shit so they're rare as hell now

2018-07-19 22:22:28 UTC  

Its also front wheel drive, and would be useless off road

2018-07-19 22:24:01 UTC  

uh... I think you'll find that a) fwd is usually better than rwd off road and b) the mini, aside from the lower than ideal clearance, is damn good off road for what it is

2018-07-19 22:25:05 UTC  

<:what:382980756139409409> Nigga, go get yourself a VW beetle.

2018-07-19 22:25:16 UTC  

fwd better off-road my ass

2018-07-19 22:25:17 UTC  

the mini was better than the beetle

2018-07-19 22:25:27 UTC  

and much better off road
