CARB is California's anal retentive one-state extra runaround that manufacturers have to go through in order to sell bikes in the state of California. The TT250 IS California CARB certified. So is SSR's XF 250. The rest of the 'usual suspects' of enduros are not.

I'm old enough to remember the days of acid rain and smog so thick that you couldn't see the surrounding mountains around the LA basin. I hadn't been in that area in years and was amazed at how much cleaner the air is so all in all I think that CARB has done a great job making it to where you can breath the air again and not having to run inside every time it rains is a plus too.

As tempting as it is seeing the Brozz, Sharks, Hawks, Enforcers and all the bikes here going for dirt cheap, (and being sold and shipped from here!) we get used to having fewer, more expensive choices.....but we're still not as expensive as our friends to the north! ;-)

Yep, a freeway full of cars and you will smell the one up ahead. Sure enough, an old Chevy pu rolling up ahead.

You just described my green and white 1972 Chevy pickup with the rotten wood bed. It also had fake wood on the sides like the car from the movie "Vacation".

I'll never forget sitting in the backseat of the car, with the windows up and A/C on "for our own good", because there was a stinky, smoky diesel bus ahead....with my mom smoking a cigarette hot-boxing the whole cab.

Oh yah! I even used to haul my buddies out to the lake in the back of my El Camino when I was in high school. Four gals, a couple guys and two ice chests. Life was good!
