BAD DOG Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 pull the trailer with the bike in side with the superliner, simple, I'm seriously considering buying a fifthwheel enclosed car hauler with a small living quarters in front just for that reason.

other dog Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Bikes are good also but I damn like Leversole's B!It looks well tight built.I agree Vlad, that's one of the straightest, sharpest looking B models i've ever seen. It's probably jealous of that fancy gussied up Superliner with the bright red paint. 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

farmer52 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I'm seriously considering buying a fifthwheel enclosed car hauler with a small living quarters in front just for that reason. That is what I want to do...buy a pup trailer, put living quarters over the fifth wheel, and haul a tractor, bike, etc. in the back. I know of two (2) pups in Arizona that are for sale.

41chevy Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 4600 miles, almost 660 gallons of fuel, that's almost $3K in fuel! Would do it for you but I cant afford it!!! 3000 bucks worth of smiles tho! :) :D :lol: 1 Quote "OPERTUNITY IS MISSED BY MOST PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS DRESSED IN OVERALLS AND LOOKS LIKE WORK" Thomas Edison “Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘Holy shit, what a ride!’” P.T.CHESHIRE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladislav Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Does the diesel cost $4.4 per gallon in the States? It's about $1 per litre overhere now and local folks say fuel is right for free in the US!I saw interesting rebuilts of buses with a living room and a "garage" backside.Saw that average truck in Germany, probably someone bobtailed with a bike on it.Thinking over this idea also for R-model as a hobby vehicle. I can't run into most big cities so would like to have a bike with me if I go long way trip around the country I plan for some day..

mack mhe9 Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 i think are average is 4.25 a gal, . it goes from 3.80ish to 4.50 ish, 6 or 7 years ago it was 1.10 ish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
other dog Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 isn't a liter just over a quart? that would come out to around the same price then...pretty close I guess. I was thinking of driving to Moscow to fuel up next time, but since it's so close going that far out of route probably wouldn't be worthwhile.

DCR Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 That's awesome I plan to be doing a bit of sight seeing withmy Superliner soon. Have to toss a coin this summer Take the MackSuperliner or the Harley Superglide out for my sunday mornig ride.Please, take the Superliner out instead of the bike; it is much safer. Being a funeral director, i have had to put too many bodies back together from bike crashes.

Freightrain Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 I gotta agree, if that was my new toy sitting in the driveway................I'd be wear'n it out too. Jeez, all my toys have been around for 15-20 yrs. Guess I need to find something new to buy to get me excited??I used to drive my B everywhere, 10 yrs ago. It's kinda lost it's appeal and it more work then worth sometimes. Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

Superdog Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I can definately understand why anyone driving a Volvo would want to carry along emergency transportation.I'm surprised it isn't factory installed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vladislav Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 BC Mack, that device is great!It's what I'm thinking about.Although a line of questions came on a surface - how to order and recieve it, when and where to drive truck/bike, and how fast I might restore up my R-model?So slowly going down as usual Tom, a can of ATF oil tells me it conteins 0.946L. Diesel costs about $1.08 now so you should not drive here tanking, to enjoy sightseeing by a trip only.I can try to send a bottle of via post to you although it might get the same troubles as about the sauce Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
