Welcome to the site where the owners and members have had it with playing "nice" and being "inclusive" and "tolerant" of points of view that are destroying the fabric of what made this country great. The members here are sick and tired of politicians of all parties lying, deceiving, stealing, and pretending they are doing it all for the good of the country while selling out to special interests who have the set goal of destroying this country. We have had enough of career politicians who use their office only for personal gain, and who refuse to listen to the people who put them in office. The membership is no longer part of the silent majority who play nice and get along while getting screwed by anyone with a loud voice and an agenda. We will no longer allow anyone to piss down our back and tell us it's raining. And we like guns too.

It was an open manhole - front wheel missed it, or may just have hit it slightly to throw the Cruiser off the line I was on, the rear wheel must have dropped in enough to do the nasty and to turn the vehicle around about 165 degrees, hacking a kerb in the meantime.

That is indeed the rear.

Mrs. R-a-R took pix of the obvious damage and of the manhole, but not the whole vehicle. Too bad.

Well, well...what a surprise! The shop told me today that the Cruiser will be ready by
tomorrow afternoon. They were finishing up installing "a whole new back end" today, and
the replacement wheel and tyre will be coming along tomorrow.

Hope they checked everything else out. Will let you know.

Insurance companies will just replace damaged parts faster than repairing them, sometimes with generic parts but it makes no difference, they are new nevertheless. They can fix it all within a couple days.

There is something to that "pay attention" thing...

Scrap yards here will not buy man hole covers, road signs, sign posts, etc.

A friend of mine in SC tried to take in some construction scrap. The yard would not accept it without a current general contractor's license. They said they have that policy due to so much theft. So he took the scrap home and dumped it in his yard to improve the hillbilly look of the neighborhood.

They lied - Friday they called to say that we need 'a new differential lock' - will be in on Monday.

Monday I called them and was advised 'the part will be in Wednesday or Thursday.'

Not sure whether they are talking about a whole new (and expensive) assembly or just a part.

At least the Cruiser hasn't been totalled.

I guess that is a young and dumb sport

That's how I used to ride motorbikes - beyond my capabilities and those of my bikes.

I liked the way that the FJ driver in grains' video handled his situation.
