My AAA coverage doesn’t include “recreational” vehicles. My scooter insurance—which I could have sworn I clicked every optional box on— doesn’t include roadside assistance. M y credit cards’ have various levels of roadside assistance ranging from worthless to stellar... Alas, the fine print specifies vehicles of the four-wheel variety.
Sigh. My fault, but still quite frustrating.
Cheapest tow quote I got was $210, for 15-20 miles to the shop, and that’s with a 2-3 hour w ait for a tow in the first place.
I upgraded to AAA’s RV level of coverage, but they won’t let you use benefits for five days after activating because.... Uh... No idea. Guess I’ll try again next week.
I need a truck.

It started dying on me when revs got low. I was getting worse, to the point that I’d need to keep RPMs at 4k or higher, and even then it would still die, a fter which getting it started up again was significantly harder than normal. After a nighttime ride home in the pouring rain spending thirty minutes trying to start the scooter, I decided to just leave it parked until it could be looked at

The Miata is going to it’s new owner tonight.
I’m not going to do this, but a part of me wants to go to Lynnwood Motoplex and buy whatever fun, new bike they’re willing to offer the biggest discount on...

I once saw a kid driving down the freeway with a quad stuffed in the back seat of a VW Rabbit. I’m sure it’ll for in the Miata.
I would just rent a uHaul pickup.

I would honestly have no issue trying that if I wasn't selling the Miata tonight. I've done much dumber things with that car

If there’s ever been a time to buy, it is now. Lighter traffic makes it less of a death wish around here, too, Almost been tempted, myself, but other issues are on my back.
I am sure you vetted the Miata’s new owner, it’ll be fine. Onward and upward.

New plan...import a Piaggio Ape50
to haul your scooter around? So you’d be hauling your 1-cylinder
Italian-ish scooter around on the back of an Italian 1-cylinder powered truck? :P

I like this idea, but I'm more leaning towards a Japanese Kei Truck

How heavy is it? I’d be there right quick but I’m working right now. Could you rent a van and slide it up into the back?

The 700 has the twin from the MT/FZ-07 so it’s not quite the same. But it is super classy and easy to handle. I agree though, I test rode an FJ-09 a few years ago and it was mind-blowingly good.

Do it. I don’t think I’ve seen one of those on the road yet.
You don’t want one of these?
And I just had to browse. Hmmm:
I’d die, but what a way to go:
Still interesting:
No turbo Busas in stock, damn.

OH, yes! I bet Flavien could find you a good deal! I was talking to him about it awhile ago actually! He highly suggests getting a 4wd kei truck though...apparently even slight hills in an unloaded RWD-only truck in the rain make the rear tires spin...
“
But typically, nice trucks are around 4000US$, shipping to Halifax included... It can sometimes be a little less, as low as 3000US, but that’s very cheap...”
That’s with shipping to my local port...shipping would likely
be cheaper for you as you’re near the Pacific Coast. :)

AAA’s wait time used to be 3 days, they probably changed it because people would sign up for $200 and then immediately get an $800 tow. It's pretty much exactly what I did a few years back, sure the car got broken into, but it was still cheaper then what the tow company wanted

I hate AAA. I had an account once that I had started due to a referral promotion where if you sign up you can give another person a free year so my brother gave me the referral . A few months later, my brother decides to cancel his account. Unbeknownst to me, AAA then canceled my account at the same time and said nothing.
A month later I’m headed into center city Philadelphia on a cold, cold January night under 30 degrees and windy. Get to the Rocky steps and smoke starts coming up from the hood so I pull over to find my radiator has broken off at the hose connection and has lost all of the coolant very rapidly. I then park, walk to my dinner and eat and call AAA on the way back. They proceed to inform me that I cancelled my account, which I did not. I tell them this and they tell me sorry theres nothing we can do, however if you want to sign up we got you! So basically I had to pay for a whole new year, and then i subsequently used the rest of my tows and never renewed again. Customer service called and asked why and I told them and they still didn’t offer anything lol. Guess its their loss as I’m sure I wouldve been a longtime customer, instead I just added towing to my USAA policy
