Ok M4, We can banter back and forth all we want. You have your opinion and strangely I would have the same opinion in many cases. But since you keep coming back to your point of GO BUY A JEEP if ya want A JEEP, let me expand on why I even have this cool little wannabe jeep thingy.
One year ago next month a good friend who I have ridden 100,000 miles plus with on all types of motorcycles and all over this great country had a bad crash. A mechanical failure we presume since he crashed in a straight line at 70 MPH. He has no recollection of what happened. He has lived in Colorado for the past 12 years or so. We would meet at least 2-3 times a year out there or in other great road states like Arkansas.
After his crash it made me realize just how unpredictable riding can be and we rode hard and fast like kids most of the time. Had a few close calls. So I decided I'm retiring in a few years and want to enjoy it with all my body parts working. My buddy has mostly lost his use of his right arm.
I have kinda sorta been trying to sell my two duel sport bikes for the past 10 months. Not trying real hard because its real freaking hard not having the bikes under my ass. I can maybe relate it to a crack habit? Hard to stop after doing it for so long? I have never done drugs because I might like it. LOL. So its been real hard not riding and keeping the promise to my wife of 38 years that I am done. REAL F-ING HARD!
So a few months back I had seen the Roxors out in front of the same motorcycle dealer that I bought a bike from in 2000 when I got back on after a 13 year absence of riding. A few months later I drive by the dealer with the wife and we stop and look at the Roxor and inquire about pricing. The dollar value was in the realm of the value of my 2 bikes combined. Yes I'm talking getting low balled and if it happens why not get something for them at least. I went home to do my soul searching and research the possibility of what it would take to make the Roxor a little more useful for some around town, short trips to my East Texas land and be able to drive the trails in Colorado and drive the Roxor to town for the night instead of on and off a freaking trailer every time. My wife seemed to like it, I can still go to Colorado and see my bud and we can still hit the trails and have *hit to do. Just not bikes. A win win for me. Wife would be happy bikes are gone and I would still have a toy. So I haggled for a few days with them and did a deal. My ass is still sore but it's better now! LOL!
So in my case, I don't really fall into the GO BUY A JEEP IF YA WANT A JEEP class. I acquired mine through trade. Something I was not using for something I can't use. HAhaaaaa. S H I T ! HAhaaaa. Damnit Jim!
