Sold my bike/car hauler

[Gary N.]

Well after 13 years and a lot of blood sweat and tears I decided to put my '46 Chevy COE bike/car hauler up for sale and today it left for Edmonton Alberta. I'm going to miss that old truck but at this point I couldn't justify owning it anymore. I think it would have been easier to sell one of my kids though.

Good luck selling it Gary. I too poor to afford that. Never mind the gas it would take.

It's already sold and gone. It's diesel powered so even more expensive for fuel but it does get pretty good mileage.

Glad you got it sold some one is a very happy camper to get it.

Boy, that is one beautiful rig Gary. I can understand your feelings about seeing it go

Not to worry Jeff. I won't be selling the bike any time soon but I may have to down size the space shuttle. I have to see how it works out over the next year or so. Maybe I'll sell the ranch and just live in the shuttle. I'd have to get rid of a lot more stuff before I can do that though.

Congrats on the sale Gary!

 

I take it you're not delivering the truck to Alberta and riding the RSV back home?

 

Cheers,

No, he decided to fly here and drive home. Just as well as I don't know if I'm physically up to a big trip like that on the bike yet. My brain says I am but my body may have different ideas.

That's good news. I had the same initial reaction when I read the title of the post. Looking forward to seeing you again in Kitchner. We'll be in our Class "C". not looking forward to the fuel bill but whatever it is I'm sure it'll be worth it.

Now that's funny.Gary,I'm glad you were able to sell the truck,but I'm sad it wasn't to me..But you know what we talked about at Don's,if I would have bought it,Cupcake would divorce me and then I would have to move into the space shuttle with you.

[sarges46]

I dunno Gary....you got pretty good kids there!

 

Congrats on selling the truck though...sure is a beauty!
