Chad is a cool guy and I plan to ride with him in the future. I snapped a quick pic after we loaded it on his truck as a farewell to a very cool un-bodged, original, unmolested 64 VBB. Congrats Chad, my bike went to a good owner.

After I bought my V90 last year I fell in love with it so my plans to build my VBB went out the window. Chad jumped on the opportunity to grab it as I didn't need 2 shifty projects. I kept it in my basement for him over the past 8 months and when I went up to our summer place in Minocqua Wisconsin I brought it with so Chad wouldn't have to drive to Chicago to pick it up.

hey, thanks man! your strap method worked perfect, no problems at all.
your scoot already has a working job. my 'neighbor' is a vineyard. i cruised her over for the inaugural ride and to pick a bottle of wine for dinner. they want to park it outside the front door this weekend because they have some shindig going on and thought it would look cool. pays 3 bottles. not bad for the first day! also, i tore off that screwed on chrome on the legshield. 80% og trim under there. the only thing i can figure is they bolted that other stuff on as tape for the paint job and then never took it off. thanks again man, hope you (or your dad) catches the big muskie before tomorrow night... and not to turn this in to a lovefest or anything, but VEZPA is alright... 8) |

Awesome man. Not to take the attention away from your scooter, but I've been thinking of getting a motorcycle/scooter trailer. Do you like yours? What kind is it?

it's a custom made one based on the versa haul. got it from my uncle. he wanted a versa haul, but didn't want to pay $600, so a friend of his who owns metal shop looked at the versa haul and 'reverse engineered it.' it works really well. heaviest thing i've hauled on it is my p, my uncle has put a gts on it before.
