Heading down to the Austin area later this coming Monday night/Tuesday morning to pick up a gem of a truck.
I'll have ~ 8 feet of bed space only, both ways, since I'll be utilizing a towbar for the return trip.

Feel free to peruse my For Sale ads, to see if I can move something heavy your way! :cool:

Made it down and back, met madmikeismad on the way back, for lunch and great conversation.
Thanks Mike!

The first pic is what I drove back, a 1998 2500, 12 valve, Q/C, longbed, 4wd.

The 2nd pic is what I rode down to get it, a 2005 Honda Reflex 250.
Yep! I got WET and I dried out several times. LOL

Mark.

Got to be honest Mark.....

I was surprised the sequence of the vehicles in operation....

The red thing looks very Austin-like.
 
You rode all the way to Austin on a SCOOTER ??? Lol �� !! Wish I could have seen that one Mark !
 
What's with the dissin' down on scooters?

It traveled the distance I wanted to, for around $50, which is under a quarter of what it took to drive it back in the bed of the truck it was used to retrieve.

I'd do it again in a heartbeat, but with a good raincoat this time. :D

Maybe I am! :thankyou2:

I have had the thing for almost a year, about 2 weeks ago a guy gave me a helmet, so I started riding it just over a week ago.
Started out with 2200 miles on the odometer, now it has 3375 miles on it.

I like to drive, and long distances have never really bothered me in a car or truck.
This is way more fun than either of those. :cool:

65 comfortably, 70 taxes it some.
I believe it needs a tune up and it's due for an oil change and air filter.

Got one sitting in the garage here that will do 80 easy.

Since you're a scooter guy, we might be able to work out a trade... Lol.
 
Seen people claim they'll do 80, but I'm betting that's flat out and won't maintain hills with a fat guy on board.
I've busted 75 on mine, but it doesn't like it.

I'd take another one, but it'd have to be cheap.
Mine was $500.

Yeah I got this one up to 80... It's sketchy to say the least.
 
Fat guys aren't good fence climbers, but they hold down bikes quite nicely. :)
Worst part is following tractor-trailers over 50 mph, tends to Jimmy you all over the place.
