Texas Freeway-Approved: 1969 Kawasaki 175 F2
The seller has this bike listed as a Bushwacker, but the Bushwacker is an on/off-road version of Kawasaki’s 175, with beefed-up handlebars, an upswept exhaust, and more off-road features. This is clearly a street bike. This 1969 Kawasaki 175… more»

Original Paint Survivor: 1972 Ford F-100 Ranger XLT
I’ve always envied the one-make person, the “Mopar-or-no-car” types, or those who bleed Ford Blue, or those who sided with 50 percent of Americans in always buying GM (when they were at their peak). I am not that guy,… more»
