I saw this Hyundai pickup in the parking lot at the grocery store Monday. I saw one in Tulsa last year when I was out there, but this is the first one I've seen around here. It's a cute little thing but not much good for hauling. If you could put a trailer hitch on it, it might be pretty handy. I like the cover on the bed - good for securing things when you're parked and out of the elements. I don't know what kind of mileage it gets, but probably much better than my full-size Ford. I filled it and a 5 gallon can last night and the tab was $76.44. Probably much cheaper to fill up the Hyundai.
I was looking at the ass end of the Sportster trying to decide what to do about the two holes in the fender and I was struck by the thought a small rack would be handy. The license plate bracket is pretty stout, so I could make something that would bolt to the license plate bracket in the rear and the two holes in the front. It's a small area but the rack could cantilever over the bracket a bit. I wouldn't want it to be an eyesore, but it would be nice to have a spot to strap on a jacket or rain gear. I'm going to give that some thought. I did order a rear tire and tube, so progress hasn't stopped completely.
The grandson is now officially enrolled in college. He'll be starting welding classes in January. Very proud of the young man.
