My weekend was driving from Chicago to Asheville and back to trade my 2011 KLR for a 2000 ZRX. 1400 miles (2250 km) towing with a Tesla. This makes 2 running ZRXs (1100 and 1200) and one forever project (1109 track bike build). Out with the old:  In with the new:  Welcome to the collection:

You got the better end of that trade Also you could probably tow the Tesla with the ZRX if it ran out of battery

There is or was a video on youtube of a honda SS50 (or similar) towing a van. Video was made wayyyyyy back in the early days of youtube. I saw it more than a decade ago when i was looking to buy one of those. It was hilarious and it worked way better than it had any right to. Of course all old honda moped purists in the comments lost their poo poo about how bad it was for the moped. Towing a Tesla with that bike should be easy. But i'd rather have some kind of push bar construction pushing the car, rather than having a bigass car lumbering along behind me. Do Tesla brakes even work effectively without electricity?

The goldwing (of course) was actually modified to tow cars with a deployable dolly and everything https://youtu.be/EiojZ7HfCWo

Another really nice day in Portland. Double and single track at Brown's Camp on the old KTM 250 yesterday and a nice 80 mile loop around Washington and Yamhill counties on the Monkey today.

Amazing! Forever jealous of people who live a reasonable distance from woods that aren't explicitly motor vehicle unfriendly  Southern Ontario sucks.

Yeah I guess there is a bunch of illegal offroad stuff like 30 minutes from me too but tbh I'm not super psyched to get busted for brapping so push comes to shove and I'll just pretend I'm a big man by splashing through puddles on the way to the supermarket :P

  Silver isn't this bike's best color but it does have a satisfying pop in the sunlight. Also, I didn't realize til now how dirty it is. Wish I had a hose at home, that's like the one thing I'm missing at this apartment.

When i lived in an apartment, i used one of those air pressure pump sprayer things people sometimes use for spraying pesticides in their backyard. They are pretty convenient for cleaning a bike between more serious washes/detailing. I like it better than a bucket or a big watering can for rinsing off dust and sand.
