After going around the world 3 times, twice in a leaky rowboat, I to loves all ******

 

I always wanted to try doing that with an old surplus school bus. Turn one end into a rolling garage, with ramp, or lift and the rest into a mini motor home.
I don't like tents that much since I went over 45 or so. I always seem to wake up with more aches and pains, not to mention bug bites, then I went to sleep with.
Used school busses are relativly cheap to get and use common heavy duty truck parts that are avalable almost anywhere you go in the country. Drop a heavy duty pickup truck engine and tranny. Or better yet a diesel from one like a Dodge Cummins,Ford Powerstroke, or GM Duramax and it would have more than enough power to get around and beeasier to get surviced if needed.

 

I just stared useing a tent when I turned 60, seen the school bus idea once, didn't seem such a good idea then, hard to load and unload, might I suggest one of then new fangled electric hoist that pulls the bike right up into a pick-up bed, might work good for the bus idea..

 

I did the tent thing for many years growing up, in the Army, and later in the Boy Scouts as an Assistant Troop Leader. So the idea of a bus has a bit more appeal than a tent these days.
I considered the lift hoist, but they want a ton of money for them. A ramp doesn't seem to practical given the hight of the buss rear, and I'm not too sure I would like riding a bike up one and throught that "narrow" door they have in back. But I'm sure you could make a hinged ramp to rid up on, then use a winch to lift it up level and be able to slowly wheel the bike through the doorway.
If you didn't care about the"garage" end being completly air tight, You could always cutthe door openingwider and use a canvas tarp andsnap it on like a pickups tonnou cover. Should be more than enough room even for acouple of baggers back there.
I'm sure the chassis could handle the weight, but I would wonder about the balance a little. Depending on how long it wasand what you put in it up forward it "might" need a little balast forward for that much load.

 

I don't know..................sure beats draging a small econo car behind the motor home.............So you get where your going and hit a car wash, problem solved ,it's only dirt............sounds like there's a little envy here

 

You sure that was a real Harley and not just an oversized hitch cover?

 

Me thinks you people are just jealous. Maybe this person is a fulltimer. That means he/she lives in the motorhome. If so, how is his keeping the Harley with his home any different than you keeping your bike at home? So it gets dirty. Wow. If you had ever ridden your Harley other than bar hopping or commuting to your office on nice days, you would have ridden in bad weather and know that dirt and grime can be cleaned off. Give the guy credit for having good taste in motorcycles and not making it a trailer queen.

 

TRUE , DATT!

 

A RUB and a trailer queen.all in one God love em

 

Jealous yes I don't have that kind of money but dirty doesn't even start to describe this bike.I guess he has more dollars than sense cause if I had an SE Ultra I wouldn't let it get that dirty.You could've shoveled the dirt off this bike and never touched the paint.
