When the '93 $#@!s the bed:
Diesel powered light trucks.
Over 50 MPG without a single computer.
It goes far beyond a protectionist tariff at this point.
New light trucks do not comply with EPA and NHTSA rules and cannot be sold here.

I would say it's a combination of both. There are plenty of small trucks that meet stringent standards in Europe and Asia, but the tariff makes it uneconomical for those manufacturers to import them to the US. They know that, with the tariff, they won't be competitive, so they don't even try.

Didn't bob it over the winter, had no time.
Made some minor changes and removed some extraneous junk.
Service: oil, brakes, coolant, battery charge, tighten and adjust cables and rods as needed, valve lash and so on.
Be ready to ride next time home, gas and go.
Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.

I believe so.
We are on Hawaii Island looking at Mauna Kea, and I believe the hill or pu'u, at what appears to be the end of the road ribbon is one I recognize from the Saddle Road.
I think the Mauna Loa Observatory/Park road is the only paved road sort of South-East of that line.
Mauna Kea -> pu'u -> liberty biker gang -> Mauna Loa

That's it, two Ron Paul warriors and my Ron Paul chicka.
Found this funny today for us old timers that remember the 500+ cc two strokers.
750 cc two stroke Kawa triple chopper.
Ah yes the Kawasaki triple, Plenty of power, just no brakes or suspension. The trick was to wobble around the corner, set your target and then ignite the rocket, hoping there was nothing behind the target for at least 500 feet. I had many a scary time on one of those, the only thing in recent memory that has given me an experience like that was my Arctic cat firecat 700, fuel injected 700 twin, also did not like to turn or stop.
Yeah, I've ridden that little piece of insanity myself.
AFW is right, the only thing close is two stroke, big displacement snow machine.
Years ago I had my son with me who about 6 or 7 at the time, riding in front on an Arctic Cat GTX. We stopped for minute to stretch and pee on the side of the trail, I started the machine and set my son on the front. While I was climbing on he decided to grab a handful of throttle, because "hey I saw dad doing it".
We had climbed a tree and fell into a snowbank before I could shut down.
Rode about 4 hours today, with my daughter.
Gorgeous spring day in NH.
On the top of the hill where I live.
