The gym is still great for cross training with doing some weight lifting
though.
I have my own weight bench and weights to get this type of exercise.










It's still a gym..

Perfect utilization of the bike without getting preachy, thank you Helen

Gosh... (blush) cor, thanks ;-) Not quite perfect though - I still have a
car
and I still use it - I just use it quite a bit less than I used to.

Cheers, helen s


That's just the point, cars are great to have when you want to use them.

I've made a concious decision to use my car less than I "want to". It gets me
fitter, lowers my fuel bill but it does take me more time. However, it does go
a tiny way to reducing my carbon emmissions, (along with other stuff such as
recycling more, low-energy light bulbs) so in that sense, I have, for a small
part put the needs of others above my personal wants.

Cheers, helen s

Your comment was arguably correct without getting nasty and peevish;
thank you FX199.

Maybe if we were all less judgemental we'd all get along better. Remember the
best revenge is "living well", I see unfortunate assumptions that are divisive
in many of your posts.
However, ride on and be well Chalo.

relax, they're only making about 50 of those per year. That link is turning
into a knee-jerk propaganda page.

50? Before you know it every single Yuppie will want one and the arms
race will be redoubled. I want to see what Caterpillar comes up
with...

Ask him what he thinks about Pat Tillman.

Personally waiting for the delivery vehicle was my only choice. I
couldn't afford to buy a flatbed truck and forklift for one load. If I
could afford it, unlike you, I doubt I would buy these things to move
one load. that just seems like a stupid waste of money.

Why do you call him stupid, and why do you assume he would only need one load a
year because you do?

I put it on top of a Plymouth Horizon with a Thule rack.
Cars with rain gutters can be handy. I can carry 16' boards
without having to red flag them. Try putting those in the
back of a pickup.

Mitch.








I admire your adaptability, but I move 16 foot boards all the time in my
truckbed, I weigh the front ends down with sandbags and tie a red flag on the
end.

It has a tiny payload area for three ton capacity. What do you haul with
it? Uranium?


It has a ten foot bed....
It's main purpose is to pull large trailers.
Freightliner already has a RV towing Medium duty truck very similar, others
have made their own.



Is this what I was supposed to by to carry my one time purchase of three
tons of stone?

No, they didn't buid it for a person to carry a "one time purchase", you know
better than that I hope, otherwise you're just being obtuse.


Heck it's not big enough for all the pallets! Where would
I put the forklift?


Umm, It could pull your whole house probably...let alone any size trailer you
come up with..
