Docwheelhorse 2,660 #1 Posted August 27, 2020 (edited) Hello All, Hope everyone is well... traded my future bro in law a high end mountain bike for a 312-8 with a 48" plow and a tow behind cart. That was a few months back... My sis sent this video... yah its crummy, but she says he's having a ball cleaning up a pair of large pine trees that fell during the last storm. She also said that he has told her that "this thing is a tank..." Another guy that will not drive anything other than a WH now---mission accomplished!

ebinmaine 67,274 #6 Posted August 27, 2020 Can't see the video but that's super cool. Get that boy some weights and chains and about 15" of snow. They'll see what a beast is then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As long as both parties are happy, that's all that matters. Especially when family is involved. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lee1977 6,642 #18 Posted August 28, 2020 Speaking of bicycles I was in Walmarks a couple of week ago there was't a bicycle in the store. The racks are usually full, What's going on? Not that I want one, would'nt dare get out on the road where I live, too much traffic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

People with more time on their hands are getting out and riding. I have a friend who owns a cycle/gear shop. His Trek brand bikes are on backorder/cancelled order through spring already.
