Title: Since you guys won't take my help seriously...
Post by: hootmon on February 23, 2009, 09:25:30 AM
I have made offers to deliver a motorcycle to Texas, if purchased in Florida..
   I'm not sure if you folks take me seriously or not...

Here is what I did in the past few days..

I posted a motor (Non-Magna) that was for sale in Florida on another Forum that I frequent..

Someone from Tyler TX, responded that he was interested. He talked to the owner of the motor and worked out the deal..
He paypal'ed the $$$ to me..

I drove ~ 160 miles round trip with my Taurus to go pick up the motor..

I spent Saturday in my garage building a crate for the motor..
He is now contacting a freight company to come pick it up from my house.. I would deliver it to the freight company, but the Motor (with Crate) will no longer fit in my Taurus...  :lol:

Here are some pictures...

That is one fine job of crate building!

Great job Hoot!!!

Believe it or not, I have looked in the FL area for a bike and nothing I have found. I look around me than I look in FL., nothing yet.

Tyler, TX!?  If you would deliver it personally you could have lunch with some of the guys on here!!  I bet somebody would even have a bike for you to ride.

Maybe I'll take the lid off, pack a lunch jump in and have my wife put the top back on.. Anybody have a free plane ticket to Florida, or a bike they need to come this way???

Or if someone buys a Valk with a trailer, I'll haul the box out and the Bike!!!

In the first pic:  Across the street in the tree??
2nd pic, closed up in the crate??

Seriously, the pics are a bit grainy and lighting is poor.  I only see it in the one.

Picture Two on the left side in the box (bottom 2/3rds of the can)
Picture Three - Refection in the Clutch cover (I meant this one to be this way)
Last Picture - Right at the bottom (still in the box)...

Best my camera phone will do for pictures..
I'd use my regular digital camera, but Jester was supposed to be sending me some batteries, the cheap *&#BLEEP*#^@#...   :P

I found a 95 Magna already in Kingsville that my wife picked up two weeks ago. Now I have one in Michigan, and one in Texas. To bad I'm only in Texas one weekend per month. I'm here all week and the weather looks like it will be great.

Revisionist history... You have to go way back further than that to get who started it...
I won't say who started it... You know who you are!!!
Sure I play along with the gag.. It's easy to pick on the Floridian 1K miles away...

My memory is so shot Hoot I don't remember how any of this stuff gets started and I just read what you said about seafoam and forgot how that got started!

Post by: Charles S Otwell on February 24, 2009, 01:23:56 AM
Yeah Hoot, I know who really started it, I was just wondering if he would come to your defense or just leave you hanging :D. But a man of your age, even a Floridite should know better than to throw fuel on the fire(so to speak).. :D :D :D
