This is pretty cool

No, I meant before they controlled the plains. There was a time when the Apache dominated the Comanche, but with the introduction of horses and their migration north into the plains that gave an advantage to the Comanche and their nomadic lifestyle compared to the Apache who did more farming and weren't as mobile as the Comanche.

I agree with you, but in the other direction. A group of people do not get to speak for all indigenous people throughout history. Some groups like it and some don't, just because I am white doesn't mean I get to speak for all European descended people. Its a silly concept and the only reason it is listened to is because some people feel guilty for the past and what someone with the same melanin content as them did to someone with a different melanin content. Especially without looking at the entirety of that past. It isn't honest to act like Indians didn't also steal land from other groups. It happened all the time that one tribe would sell the land of another tribe without the permission to do so, and maybe the Europeans and Americans used that against the Indians, but it was a brutal time that we can't really compare to our morality now.

That seller just keeps finding them -
There are all kinds of things that take the name "American" and I have never been offended by it. The Comanche name wasn't something that originated from them, it came from other tribes who were at war with them roughly translated to "those who we fight all the time". The Comanches were pushed to the Rockies by the Apache early before the American expansion west, but then became the dominant tribe because of the horse migration brought about by the Spanish bringing horses to the region and the Comanches mastery of the Mustang. They then devastated the Apache with Spanish help. The Comanche were a nomadic tribe who subsisted mainly on the Buffalo, so they didn't have a lot to destroy, or lands to take that they didn't take in the first place. The whole western guilt idea of indigenous culture is a nuanced topic that isnt fully discussed.

Those rims look good. -
Picked this up last year. I was looking for Buell 1125CR but saw this on marketplace. Digged the old cafe look. It had a header and tune on it when I bought it. I haven't done much to it since other than a tail tidy, tank bag, and integrated tail light.

Just picked this up last week. Just happened to find it locally. One owner, old lady, 77k miles. I used to have a 96 that I put heads, cam, intake, exhaust in that ran real good and missed it the day I sold it. The kids are about excited as I am about it. The wife said I can't get anymore vehicles until she gets a Grand Wagoneer. Hate to say, but this is going to compete with the Jeeps for my attention.

How much would you want for the sport bar and the 500 shipping?
-
I will buy it off of you if you want to look for a short bed sport bar.
-
If you are going to go through all the work to get a cut up roll bar why not just fab one up since it won't really be a factory roll bar anyways And sell that to someone who wants a stock one
-
Georgia will do a bonded title. I think for most Comanche situations we would be you won't have to worry about it being stolen. Just some hillbilly who doesn't know how to store their paperwork

One day it will be here Then judgement day

I have the AP series. RMA 510 mower, 200C chainsaw, BG86 blower, FS90 trimmer, and hsa66 hedge trimmer. I will say that I really like the mower and chainsaw. I am a little bit of a chainsaw fan, and have a few old Stihls that I have restored and am in the process of fixing up, big 1111 series that are torquey and heavy. I still like the battery one I have. A couple of trees have fallen down in the yard and its little bar with the right techniques have trimmed them up for firewood with no issue. My Dad teases me about it since he owns a sawmill (huskys and big 660 and 880 Stihls) and runs logging crews in Ohio, but he used it when a pear tree was dying in the front yard and he fell it and we cut it up. Man, I haven't checked in on their lineup lately, but since you brought it up Gogmorgo, they have all kinds of new products that now I want to check out. I might pick up one of those 300 series chainsaws!

I went all battery when I moved into my house back in '17 and I bought the basic stuff from Stihl. 6 years in and everything is still working like a champ. I bought it not just for the battery size but the work per hour number that Stihl was claiming (I forget the official term now). My yard is not big by any means (third of an acre), but I can mow the whole thing on one battery, and then trim and blow off the driveway, back patio, and the street in front on another battery (the leaf blower eats up power!). I will say my neighbor has an Ego or Greenworks brand and my stuff is WAY quieter, and he has had to buy a couple batteries since some of his have quit working. The charger that came with my stuff works real fast also. It will pretty much charge one battery while I am using another one. I also bought their chainsaw and I will say I am used to 660s, and 880s from my logging days, but it works really well for around the house. I have had a couple pretty stout trees fall down and it cut them up no problem with using the right technique to cut them up. The trees were almost twice the diameter of the bar. My 051 Stihl was down at the time so I had to use the little battery saw. My dad giggles at my battery saw but it really does a good job, I am thinking about buy the bigger model they are coming out with. After it was all said and done I bought the mower, weedeater, hedge trimmer, leaf blower, and saw. They also make one of those interchangeable deals where you can add all the attachments to one power unit, if I would have had that option back then I would have done that. Stihl also was making a powered mower that will help with the push part of mowing
