Anyone going from Vancouver through Cranbrook?

[nickw]

Looking or someone to bring a scooter from Vancouver (Coquitlam) to Cranbrook (or close by).

Its not very big (just a 50cc) would fit in the back of pretty much any cruiser.
Truck would be easy.

Anyone going through (or know of anyone?)
I don't mind paying.

Cheers,
N.

Nick, I know you want to downsize but this is getting a little rediculous!

I know it can seem that way. I really do.
I have been thinking about it for a while. Used to have one actually (still do, but its dead now. Got it 8 years ago). I really miss not riding it.

Not sure if I told you, but I am moving out of town (Rick got a place), and its about a 15km round trip (so I will go into town at least once a day, plus my commuting around town). Made a spread sheet up of how many KM's I will drive and price per KM etc... Will save around $55 per month (after insuring it and paying for fuel) at current gas prices (and about another $50-75 less in wear n tear). I am getting one from a friend for an awesome deal.

They are also tons of fun, and way more environmentally friendly, and will save money. I could get buy by just spend the extra on fuel, but considering the above, I don't mind (plus keeps city KM's down on my main rig). The numbers say I will save about $600-900 a year depending how many KM's I go, and fuel prices. At the end after weighing the pro's and con's it seems like a great thing to do. I have been playing with the idea for two years, and the right deal just came along.


Cheers,

I am only heading up to Naramata (Princeton area) on Monday so that's not even half way. Anyone heading from Princeton to Cranbrook that get carry on? Also I'll be fairly loaded up since I am heading there for work but can the bike hang out on a roof rack?

It totally could of been on the roof.
But, I picked one up locally from a friend.
It was between this one and that one.
Thanks for the offer though.

He sold it to me for $600-700 below value.
Which is a lot when they are already so cheap.

Cheers,
Nick
