    i found out a few weeks ago, that moped/scooter rentals (for tourists) go up for sale at the end of the season, in some areas.

    Martha's Vineyard MA, Block Island RI, as only 2 examples.

    some are kept for 2 years, then sold.

    can't recall where to buy them.

    greatly used, but dirt cheap, and in running condition..

    and this however, is the cause of errant riders in the city streets, creating all sorts of havoc.......

    but when i ran the road, i had nothing, other than my legs to get me around.

    When i load totes it's usually 14-15 weighing 42-44.5k. I think they do 2 singles then 5 side by side then the last 3 singled out. I can pretty much keep the tandems all the way to the front

    I sure wouldn’t want any empty spaces. That’s one type of Load I always put 2 straps on the back. They like to slide too much.

    Do the last three have to be secured with something nailed to the floor?

    @buddyd157 I will shoot them a call. I'm pass thru mass quite often.

    @ridendrepair that looks sick.! Does that travel with you?
     
    Rideandrepair and Brettj3876 Thank this.

    What's wrong with the empty space? Or why don't you like it? This is my first time loading like this so ibdont know the advantages or disadvantages?
     
    Snailexpress Thanks this.
