Heh, there are LOTS of interior pics on FB, it actually does look to be pretty clean for it's year based on those.

All that stuff he added doesn't increase the value; those are cute accessories, but they don't make it worth more than a bone stock one.
As for the liftgate, feel free to poke around mine this weekend to see what it looks like is involved in adding one. Mine has a third battery, nothing special, just a zero gauge wire running from it to the under hood breaker so it charges.
Yeah, it all barely moves the needle on NADA, but some of it is nice for me so desirableness increases. I'm getting a quote on a basic lift gate today to find out what the costs are there.
Well, that answered THAT question, no I will not be sourcing a new lift gate and having it retrofitted to anything any time soon.
Just sell a kidney man, problem solved!
I'm just here trying to solve problems.... of course if he sold a kidney, he'd then be lighter... and possibly faster.... so I'd need more engine power, and more $$... scratch that Josh, sorry can't help!
No need to sell Kidneys. Josh is hiking up garage # 15 fees, and also increasing the number of people in garage from 4 currently to 24. He's got this RV more than covered with cash moneys!
On a slightly tangential topic, I also like the fast one he is pulling. "oh no, my FZR is broken, I need to spend $$ fixing it" quickly turns to "hmmm, this very nice RV isn't nice enough because it doesn't have a lift gate"
:lol::lol:
Ask him about the TTR he "had to sell"
Not a scam right there in the driveway
Very fast teenage girl racer so like 200 lb KTM's dont need a lift gate, I am assuming that she has stopped racing or whatever
They are nice folks I guess like all of us some life changes, they also have/had an enclosed trailer
If you are a weekend warrior this is a very convenient thing
Yeah, pushing a dirtbike or 5 up light weight aluminum ramps, easy. After pushing my 600 up a lower ramp into my trailer yesterday, I need a lift gate. :D
Shit Josh, you're almost as good as bubs at not buying shit.
Damn, it's nice to be the king..
These days I just let gravity help me take the bikes out on ramps, but when it's time to go up the ramp, I use the bike's engine to help me, feathering the clutch while I stand alongside the bike and walk up a parallel ramp. This works fine even with my Road King at whatever outrageous weight that thing is, although the biggest worry with that on ramps isn't pushing it up, it's having it bottom out the frame at the apex.
No reason the lack of lift gate should be a deal breaker...even with the rolling box you want, I'm sure you could figure out something like winching it up, or a come along, or a block and tackle, or a lightweight base with heavy top box that could be pulled out of the platform onto the base, or a long ramp, or something.
There's a 32 foot class c ford RV (non toy hauler) that's been sitting in a guys yard locally for years, with a for sale sign with just a phone number...I hate that (no price listed) so I never called, until yesterday. Guy wants 4500 for a '95 with 55,000 miles in it. I'm sure he'd take less. Weird layout, the rear where the master bedroom would usually be has kids bunks in one side and a tiny eating booth on the other...it entered my mind to blow out the rear and turn that thing into a toy hauler on the ultra cheap.
No reason to compromise if I have a working setup and will be taking a loan out for the purchase. Minor detail, I normally drain the tanks before loading bikes, so powering up a ramp isn't an option typically. I can cheat for awhile with the steel tank until my replacement CF tank goes back. That said, I can work around things but, if the wallet is coming out and there is an option to not have to... I'll buy when the deal is right, so far I've not found that deal.
With as many bikes and toys that have been in my garage I'm floored people are accusing me of having a hard time spending money. :P
Get rid of the orphan bikes and pick up a well sorted 600 and an SV. Then you can just use their running engines to drive them up the ramp. And no need to push a massive toolbox in and out cause you won't be tearing the things down trackside every weekend trying to get them running.
Really, do you want to spend all your time and $$ wrenching, and making it easy to wrench, or do you want to race instead? This seems very "josh-esque", aka, take the hardest path necessary to get to the same result.
As much as I goof, the "josh-esque" technique is cleaning my clock this season in Open AM @ Boxshop. (Yeah yeah. Low bar.) Guy is getting results, even if taking the unorthodox path. And better he's running away with the "superbiker" class as nobody else has bothered to be different and field a 2-stroke big-bike. Everyone's just gone the easy, safe route of an EFI MX 450. And truth told some of these 'turn-key' bikes aren't so turn-key when you start rolling laps. I found that out this year.
Do it up my friend.
I know Wiggens fun mover has ramps and they store into the end of the bumper. Pretty snazzy.
Yeah, oddly that option doesn't seem to show up on many used units, seems like most either went full cheap AKA the roll up garage door and bring your own ramps, or go full pimp with the lift. At some point in the line the roll up door with built in ramp option went away and they started offering ramp doors like trailers, but most of those rigs are too new for my budget.
