I've owned this cruiser for over 20 years now but it's officially time for it to go. It is in good condition for it's age but needs a a bit of work and should have a mechanic take a look at it before it heads out on the road for any considerable distance.

Hahah, I knew I'd get some flak for it.
I look at it this way: I had a chance to enjoy it and I ad a lot of fun times in it over the years, it's now someone else's turn. More people to enjoy this one!
Alright, it's getting there. Managed to extract it from it's hiding spot to place where I can go through it a bit more. I'll clean it up and get some better photos but for any of those looking for a more current photos here's a couple of teasers. The bottom of the front grill and the windshield...
Finally time to sell my 40. I figured I should post it here since it's probably only Okanagan area folks that can realistically look at it right now.
It's a stock blue 40 that I've had for 15+ years. The engine is still the original (but getting a bit tired) B motor. The previous owner did some...
I don't but can probably get some. It's currently stashed beside the garage blocked from getting out by a pile of snow! I forgot that there is a dime sized hole rust spot in the hood above the battery from when a friend replaced the battery but it wasn't all the way down and "welded" the hole...
Hey everyone. Thought I'd post this here since it seems to be one of the more active BC clubs.
The time is coming to sell my beloved 78 BJ40. I posted in the CC forum about hemming and hawing over it but after 14 years of ownership, it's time.
Not a great time to sell so I'm probably going to...

I ended up buying a Del*ca! While this means the end of being a Cruiserhead, I'll still be a diesel bigot and also continue to own a thing...
This has definitely been on my mind. The problem is I've been saying "this is the year" for 7 years now. At some point I feel like I need to be honest with myself and also give it an opportunity to be used.
I went through the same process when I sold my 81. It was almost as a rare (5 speed...
This is a Cruiser I've had since.. 2004. I think it was the second Cruiser I owned, out of a sequence of eight in total. So selling it officially would end my tenure as a CruiserHead (well in ownership terms anyway). This particular 40 has unfortunately spent a lot of its life sitting. I drove...
