Nice, Cruzin!

I did that same thing about 10 years ago. Popped in 2 windows in the side as well. It was a little 5x8 and I insulated it, wired in led lighting, heater that all ran off a 1K Honda genny that I welded a coupling off the exhaust for a high temp hose so it could run in the back of the truck, with the hose sticking out from the canopy window and the electrical cord into the front of the trailed under a boat towel I installed. Kept it quiet and protected the genny from the rain and snow. Fold down table and removable bed. Rino lined the top so it never would leak. It was cheap and worked great for hauling the dirt bikes and and mountain bikes and camping in it as well as a mobile skiing and hunting cabin. 

Make me jealous looking at your future little camper, always wished I never sold that thing, great memories in it with the girlfriend and dogs.

I wish I had just bought that from you!

Yeah man I hope you post pics of your build with that thing over time. Such great memories, and if you have any questions or ideas, feel free to write me. In the pic I had a little buddy heater. I wouldn't go that route again. Propane creates such moisture and would shut down with the carbon monoxide safety switch. So I got one of those little tip proof metal shop heaters, I think it was only 750w on the low setting which worked great for the 1K watt Honda. Warm instant heat and no moisture and really dried out the trailer after a day in the rain or skiing. 

 

Looking froward to your project!

A Grom (because why the hell not)

 

These come to mind. Considered adding a couch or a big sport tourer, but in all honesty I don't think I would ever actually use them. I would much prefer to due offroad detours on one of the other bikes.

👍 I want a '34 Squirrel, the CR500 would make a GREAT snowbike, and I had a chance to buy a Britten in '97. They were asking $100K USD. I was close-only short $97K!😆

hmm

 

if the corona fake story would be over and the people would start to think and a  fresh restart without the old system.

 

strip the bike t700, maybe contact durbahn

 

let the parts scan, let rebuild the frame in titanium with some changes 🙂, change parts against lighter maybe better ones,

go more minimalistic and remove all the last electronic abs stuff, to make the bike like my ktm 😄, nothing left.

and then a cp3 swap would be interessting. before swap go for good classic tuning, like my 660 engine.

camshafts, head machining, reinforced connecting rod, bigger injection...

 

i think a 170-180 kg enduro with about 130-140 hp would be funny to drive.

exhausting, could be, but it wouldn´t become boring over time 😄 and you can drive every where 😉

 

i have to say, that italian brands like ducati and aprilia offer some kind of such parts, to make the bike weight like noting 🙂 

i know because my brother have one tuono v4.

 

 

Corona fake story you are right saying...

Bimota Tesi H2 and a Brough Superior SS100, maybe a HD Street Glide also and some cars and probably 2 or 3 more tractors 😉

None.
I would finish the T7 with the last details i don't dislike enough to spend more money on and change some parts for lighter option like the carbon panels Pol Tarres had on his Erzberg version.
Then i rebuild the garage into a proper shop and do some updates on the house to have a perfect base and go off on a round the world trip.

I honestly can't think of one?  All the older bikes I owned were great, then became pigs compared to the later bikes I bought.  I remember riding with a mate in the 80's, me on my kwaka Z1R and he on an 1100EFE, we swapped at one point and when I got back on my bike it was never the same, a heavy old pig!  I'd probably do what I have done for years, squirrel the money away and watch and wait, then snag the bike of my dreams when it came off the production line.  Or six months later actually when I had an idea of it's build quality.  I guess I don't qualify as a collector lol.  Sorry.

Well, let's say it's 40k £/€/$.

 

I think I'd use a quarter of the money for tools (Stahlwille, or probably Gedore 'cos they're half the price of Stahlwille), building a top notch workshop in the shed.

 

Another quarter for some completely over-the-top but cool mods on the T7 (like spending 5k on suspension, 5k on carbon parts, a second wheel set and so on).

 

A quarter for paying a local gravel pit or quarry owner for letting me ride in his place anytime.

 

Last quarter as bribe for cops and for synthetic fuel (fight climate change) 😁

Oh yes.  We aren't at all like Americans, though we can pretend to be when it suits out purposes 😉

Hmmm, is this limited to a number of bikes? First off I would get rid of the T7 and replace it with a world raid, then I think a Tenere 1200 for rides with the lady, a buell 1200 just for fun, a CR500E because you can full road register them here and they’re nuts, and I would no doubt update my ‘13 Harley for something similar but new with an even more stupider motor. I think that would do for a start.

I would like a thoroughly reliable BMW R1250GS with no niggling faults such as rusted driveshafts, failed driveshafts, soft cams, software issues, loose cross spoke wheels, buggy Nav 6 GPS, and two good knees to ride it with.

When you were informed that you won the powerball, didn't you wonder about the funny grammar in the email and that they asked you to first pay a fee in order to get the lottery pay out procedure running? 😁

 

Sorry for the shattered dream about the new shed 🤔
