Such a huge, diverse group here still...what else do you have that runs?

[gnsteam]

Just a couple years ago. I gave up my live steam railroading hobby, to finance my Bronco restore.

So you were an engineer ? Cool!

OK, not a machine but she sure can run. And catch squirrels.

Many are all ready familiar with my other “passion” this is my slightly modified 1970 Jeep J2500 Gladiator. It is my daily driver, car camping rig, and just all around fun machine that get more talkers and admirers in public than my bronco, that always surprises me…

Post, up this should be an interesting thread

Hey I recognize that spot!

Cool! There is a group of us here (@lars and @ntsqd being the ringleaders) that have done NV trips for years. I've only done 2-3 myself - they've done a lot more.

Todd Z.

We have done some sort of run almost every year since 2008. Though not all of them have been in NV.
I am currently working on, and nearly have complete, a route running from Big Bear, CA to Reno with I'll guess less than 50 miles of pavement. Ultimate goal is to reach the Oregon Border. We need to put together a group and go find out what I've screwed up!

I'm gonna bend the running rule and post this:

Then there's these in addition the CTD/pop-top above-

I have some two wheelers.

Old but still fun:


And what about self-propelled? I have a few. They keep me from getting (more) fat.

I have the sickness.

Yes, you do!
But boy, did that take me into the wayback machine! Throwback Tuesday and everything.
Did they still refer to them as the "Mach III" for your year? Is that a '74 or '75 maybe?

Neighbor had a '69 (the White & Blue one) that must have spent more time on it's rear wheel only, than on two wheels. We called him the "wheelie king" around here. Those things were so wicked fast it was kind of hard to believe at the time. Maybe they still are, in their own way, wicked fast. Even compared to modern stuff. New is probably more tractable. But not as much fun to watch!

A little later, my first ever big-bike experience was on a borrowed 750-triple. Yikes!
Up to that point I'd been spending time on 90's and 125's. So hopping on to a pipey 750 was a real eye-opener, to say the least. Felt like every time the revs got to about 3000 it wanted to lift the front wheel off. You'd feel the forks extend and the thing would just accelerate hard even though you had not twisted the throttle any further.
Needless to say it was a short ride, because I could see I needed more practice on milder big bikes.
But it sure was an eye-opener for those ten minutes!

Even after all these years, I can hear the sound of those three pipes. And yours has chambers! Must sound amazing (at least to older ears).
Thanks for the memory jog.

I’m jealous of your Monster!!! The rowdiest bike I’ve ever owned was a ‘91 Honda Hurricane. Too many knee surgeries and I had to give it up.

If I'm honest, I'm not always a fan of stretched Broncos, but man, the lines on that one are right on.
Cool truck.

Fun trip

Fun trip!

I’d love to test that run from Big Bear to Reno.

I remember as a teenager watching Mark Sosin on Saltwater Journal casting crabs in the shallows for permit. I told myself I would someday live in Florida and have a center console. Never happened lol.

Bought a Suzuki Samurai in October. It's a bucket, but it runs, unlike my Bronco!
