nice score though... how'd you come by it?

im using the seat cleats as tie downs and the front set are a little offset so thered be nowhere to lash down the outsides of two bikes. and it was my dad's he has almost no further use for it and resale is garbage (compared to the maintenance work done on it anyway) so he offered to just sign it over to me

Nice, I want one for a track-day hauler. Go to the track, pull out the bike and toss an air-mattress on the floor and you're good to go.

Astro Van's rock. My folks used to have one... with the 4.3L, the thing would move... for a van. Also, on dry pavement, the rig will spin out rather than flip over during high speed hijinx... even on off camber turns...

OTB owns one of those high roof van things... I remember him posting about it.

I just took the 50 out in the snow and had a huge wipeout. It was awesome. I have street tread on and the back in came around and I did a complete 180 before it threw me off and I went flying about 5 feet, but since we got a couple inches of snow it didn't hurt and I got right back on and did it again. I was backing it in, in the straights.
