The w/s was a Plexifairing 3 that came on the 2000 I had. It's mended on the left side where it was broken when some kids knocked it over. Painting it makes the bike look bigger, IMO.
It's easier to pull a trailer than deal with a passenger, what the trailer does is predictable. In Texas, it does have to be registered.
The truck was a Rabbit pickup, also known as a "Caddy". Yes, that's a wing, it looked cool, 1.8l scirocco motor & transaxle. Sadly, rust ate it so I sold it for $750 without the box, & replaced it with a '94 Toyota pickup, $1400.
HERRB- Hurricane Evacuation Recreational Race Bus. $4550 in total legal school bus condition, from a district that sold them at 12 years usage, regardless of mileage & condition. Bought after my '84 Chev Crew Cab Dually got too rusty & replacements I found in average condition were in the $10-12k range. A place for 4 dogs & me if we evacuate, & great for getting the mini-stock to the track.
My 950 has a hidden receiver hitch I built & it has taken over the towing duties.
Yes, that's pretty much how it goes. Take the bike if at all possible, the little truck if I have to, & my Texas Condo Cab when I need a heavyweight solution.
I like having things no one else can just go buy. I really enjoy it when the answer to their question is " You can't buy one like it because I MADE it!"
WHAT, doesn't everyone have the righ tool for the job??
