    They are well known for falling over. Very common on the roads here now the army surplussed them.

    No the inherent instability of the design. I don’t think Fosters is even sold here now ;)

    Depending on the era and model many can hit 60 ish mph on flat road, and probably a little faster with some simple mods. This issue is stopping them quickly when needed from that speed without losing control. I've used them in a logging and farm setting. Like many things, I think the idea of them is better than the actual machine.

    Yes. Can confirm.

    My comments are based on experience with models at least twenty years old or more.

    There used to be a video series on youtube where a guy drove a SWB Mog from Florida to California (?), maybe.. It's been several years since I watched it. It might have ended in Washington State. He was then headed towards Alaska but I think had some health issues pop up. I can't find it at the moment.

    Anyway, here's a link to watch the DirtEveryDay episode where they played with one. It's entertaining.

    Snapped today returning from a few days up the bush, not often you have to face off with a Tiger Tank on the freeway - slipped in under the gun to be safe !!!!!!! :D
