    Before I got into bikes, i used to do cannonballs in sportscars. Built my own cars and ran them cross country. Once, i drove 1500 miles to attend a car meet only to meet a group of guys who hired carhaulers to bring their cars in from 300 mikes away. They followed the carhaulers in their SUVs and took pictures and posted them online. Someone mentioned that driver must be envious because of their nice cars. I told them that a driver is never envious of a bunch of poosies. Of course, I was the popular guy.

    Before I got into sportscars, I used to build K5 Blazers. 6 inches of Skyjacker, 2 inch body lift,8 shocks, 4 steering stabilizers, 39 inch mudders. 454 big block, 400TH, upgraded axles, NP 205 tcase. Trailrides and mud. Just about every 4x4 I knew only saw asphalt. Repugnant

    So its refreshing to see someone actually ride their bike.

    It's the carbody, the house sets on it then the tracks and carbody weights attach to it. I'll post a pic later.

    Oscars pic is from a 2250 this is a 21000, the house detaches from it hydraulically it's a pretty slick system compared to the older ones. The smaller cranes the house and carbody stay together.

    Lol it wasn't the heat. It was the living with 2 year old twins and a wife of a best friend who is quick to let people sleep in my room for a week and a half and still want my rent check for it. Plus the camera installed in the truck and an automatic truck didn't help things.
