That does look pretty good. I've recently convinced myself that I should get a set of Callaway Apex MBs. Now to rationalize actually buying some...
I can't even remember which model of Calloway's I bought a few years ago - replacing my 25 year old Lynx Parallax...

Rumor is the Takomo 301 MB is made from the same blank as the Haywood. I've also heard Ram used it, too, but I can't confirm. The lefty 302 is supposed to be out soon.

True, but in one of them I can shuttle five people, five bikes, riding gear, and a cooler, and go up the pass doing 70. With the AC cranking. And tunes.
And sleep in it for a week with a shell, or tow a 20' trailer. And drive 400 miles on a tank. And go off roading, and drive in fairly deep snow. And find a parking space, where you can get busy in the back seat.
Totally different animals.

That's not the flex he thinks it is.
My hipster neighbor just bought one of those cheap, and admits that he has no idea what it's good for besides delivering small things around town.

Except in this case, that picture was taken here, near downtown Toronto.

That imported mini truck is going to be much more useful and economical down there in that shitshow area. :)

Yeah but the other dude can take a year off work and do all the shit most people can only do on weekends because they are pretending to be rich.

So many people over here have dropped near 100k on 76 series Cruisers, 100k for a vehicle that drives worse than my 27yo work truck, awesome!

My rich buddy uses his to haul his garbage cans to the end of his long ass driveway.

I think the point is still valid. My truck has a 6 foot bed and is the smallest full size truck bed I've ever owned. I would prefer a long bed, but good luck finding those. You can't even fit a moto in the back unless the damn tailgate is down. :rofl:

Let's be honest here, you don't have 5 friends to shuttle. And besides didn't you buy an ebike so you don't have to shuttle?

I only ride up with the ebike. I ride my huffy on the downhills.
I guess I can sorta see the utility. We have wifeys 11 year old Ford Escape to do what that thing does, but the who,e family and dog can fit in it and stay dry.

What is it from?
When we had our video store the most complained about VHS was(I think) called 'Life is Pain' . I remember projectile vomiting and a guy getting properly pickled to get stitches done because private health was too dear for MX guys.

I'm gonna have to find a copy.
