To All, This is an open letter to you, from Sen. Grothman's aide Regina, with whom we've been working to draft the bill: Begin forwarded message: From: "Kolbow, Regina" <Regina.Kolbow@legis.wisconsin.gov> Date: February 6, 2012 8:23:00 PM CST Subject: CLARIFICATION: WI LEGISLATIVE ALERT -...

Trukhead, You don't want to know, cause then we'd have to kill ya. :razz::razz: Trust me, it's been under duress. Any thanks should also be directed to Tom Zat, as he's carried a HUGE lot of this load. :beer: We've done what we can, and now it's up to all you guys. Pass the info along, and...

I'm having trouble posting the bill. It will be available at Alfa Heaven's site as soon as Dale gets done with lunch and posts it. EDIT: She's done, and it's posted! Click here for the actual bill. Please note: If you've visited the site recently, you may need to hit "refresh".

Our bill is now drafted, and and Sen. Grothman's office is looking for legislative co-sponsors. We need your help in urging your legislative representatives (Senator and Assembly Rep.) to co-sponsor this bill. Please note, this is the first of several steps we need to take. Your support is...

Truckhead, This bill will essentially make military vehicles get treated just like civi vehicles. Anything big enough will fall under Federal motor carrier rules. But we've got Dept. of Defense documents which prove that military tired (not tracked) vehicles up to and including 5-tons meet...

Thanks for the input guys. To reply: Correct. To be clear, there are two bills progressing. They are separate, and do not interfere with each other. The identifying numbers of the bills are different, and the timing will be different. Stay tuned, and pay close attention, because they...

As many Wisconsin owners have been painfully aware, one of the side-effects of last year's HMV law was that many owners have been denied regular registration options for their former military vehicles. Tom Zat (Alfa Heaven) and I have been working with and without DOT to try to correct this...

For those of you who choose HMV plates, it gives some extra driving privileges. This is a good change to the HMV law. Everybody should also be made aware that there have been simultaneous efforts underway for several months to draft legislation which will ensure that owners of former military...

Sorry for the hijack, but... A schoolteacher I met from Detroit once described his dream of retiring to da UP thusly: "I'm moving to F.U. Michigan, population one." accompanied by a gesture of raising his middle finger at me. It's my favorite description of one of my favorite places.

Here's my support for Kevin. During our fight here in Wisconsin, we communicated often. He's demonstrated that he's intelligent and has a good understanding of issues. With no disrespect meant toward other candidates, I think Kevin would be a wise choice.

Scott, Judging by your "join date", you apparently missed most of the fray. Again, I ask that you reread previous posts. Again, I agree that a list was undesirable. However, it turned out to be the only avenue available to assure any normal usage of my vehicle. The list was NOT my idea, but...

Heath, Thanks. It's better to die on one's feet than to live on one's knees. Great comment on specialization. Regards, Paul

VTwin, Thanks for resurrecting this thread. You're right, the laws here are nutty. I've previously posted the chain of events which led up to last year's laws being enacted, so I'm not going to repeat myself. They leave a lot to be desired, and corrected. Perhaps I should be apologizing...

Yeah, that would be a 710K, and they do go that high if they are in pretty good shape. The softtop M's are around 10K. Most of the 710Ks were radio trucks, but I've heard of 710K ambulances. If correct, they are very rare, to my knowledge. At least they seem to have held their values pretty...

Harold, Well, good luck on that. Although they don't have to be too expensive. A good decent 4x4 with tasteful upgrades can often be had for around 10k, and I just watched a project 6x6 go for $2500 (That's way cheap, even with a smoked 3rd cylinder.) More than your average deuce, but lots...

Harold, Well, as far as parts go, I can buy a brand new body for my 712 Pinz, IN STOCK, in Fayetteville NC. Many maintenance parts I buy at NAPA (filters, belt, relays, etc.). Nearly EVERY part I can get within 3 days, no problem. Look up Swiss Army Vehicles and check out their availability...

Sorry I didn't notice this before. i run an M-416 Viet Nam era trailer. It works excellently, and I barely even notice it back there even fully loaded. I pulled a 101, but I think it's too big. I've got a 712, and with the higher gearing of a 710, I think you'd find the 101 pretty much of a...

BW7, I've seen that truck, and it's very nice. By the time Alfa gets done with them, they're usually in great shape. Tom's a great guy to buy from too, from all accounts I've heard. I'm near Madison, so you'll just be getting going. But if you're stuck somewhere near here, I've got the time...
