If you can.

More reliable than any other option for vintage transport. Denver is a good guy too.

His truck had a major mechanical issue. He's operating on tight margins that don't budget catastrophic mechanical failures. The gofundme is to help get his diesel truck repaired and back on the road.

Diesel truck with catastrophic failure...so you mean a 6.0 powerstroke? Because those are the ones that go BOOM.

DJ is one-of-a-kind, stand up guy, does a lot for the scooter world. Everyone should contribute a little something.

I was happy to help out. I met him once when he brought me a scoot and I enjoyed every minute with the man. Gotta keep his truck on the road !

Popping this back to the top for those that missed it over the weekend. I just kicked in a few bucks myself.

In on it. Thanks for the bump.

Our local transport guy passed away recently, and you really don't get the impact these gents have until they're not there. Hope DJ gets his truck sorted and back on the road soon.

Just quick note...DJ delivered my latest P200 in late December ('22). Truck was either newish or fully repaired. He hasn't changed a bit. And as always on time and very reasonable. Always a pleasure to recommend him.
