Yea, I fugured that will be the case. The company is just a third party agency, they will ire the transport out. As long as the truck and parts get here, (sometime this century would be nice), I'd be happy.

Yea, not much to do with safety, but insurance and license plate.

Thanks Frau Hansen, as tempting as it is, I'd follow Mogman's and others advice to complete a full PM check before... Just because you don't know how the truck was treated in the last year. But I understand your meaning, that roadtrip would be fantastic. 950 miles, 3 days, nothing but fun and...

Awesome, didn't know that. But, now I'll log in every 5 minutes. Thanks for nothing :mad: LOL Just kidding, thanks for the info.

Gotcha, and yes. An unfortunate side effect of being an aviation mechanic is being addicted to tools and wrenching...

You are correct on that. I haven't heard from the shipping company, but I knew it will be a few days before they have a load together. Bugging the point of contact will not make anything go faster. So, patience is a virtue. And a bitch. Thanks for the input. Lee

Thanks. I'll contact them to see what options are out there... I would like to keep it somewhat original, but also functional. Prices are a bit crazy for these necessities, supply and demand I guess is the driving factor. Man, I love capitalism. Lee

100% agree with you there… amen brother.

That is what I call having won the lottery. The speeding thing is usually always and LOC/LOR once the word gets to the Commander. And as life goes, you get to make up by maintaining your vehicles. I', a little envious...

Yeah, the manufacture code on the tires read 4608, so they were made Oct/Nov 2008. Only 1 tire has weather cracking, the other 3 are good. According to the GP pictures anyway. I'll know more when the truck is here.

That is what I heard, and expect as well. The pics on GP don't show too much dry rot, but the manufacture date is from 2008. Bummer For the next year I will most likely keep the truck on my acreage and an occasional short road trip. When I am ready for excursions, I'll have to replace them. I...

MOTORPOOL, huh? What does that entail? New to the board, still learning everthing.

Sorry, it is a regular freight company with pretty good reputation. That's why I haven't mentioned the name yet to not tarnish that. If all works out, I'll report more. If there are issues, I'll report more. I just want to hesitate tp pay for services in advance as there is always a chance...

Awesome, thanks for the reply. So...You're saying there is a chance... I'm sure it will work out, just got the jitters. Lee

Go figure, I may have made a boo boo by sending the money ahead of delivery. But, if the company doesn't come through with the expectations, I'll just bash them here on this forum and everywhere else... :cool: Many have shipped with them, I read it all over, but for now I'll keep their name...

Thanks! Over the years I've found forums like this to be invaluable beyond estimation, both for the technical and advice as well as safety and experience of other riders/owners/operators. The wife and I are also on a certain motorcycle and trike board. I appreciate the welcome, looking forward...

Pics are coming... I've been reading this forum for the past few months and already expected this ;) I don't like any of the GP stock photos, so once it's here, I'll post. Lee

Hi All, new owner here with some questions (of course... :cool: ) First off, some info. I purchased a 1999 M1123 about 6 weeks ago on GP. The EUC just came back and I opted to look for a hauler myself. Ended up with a reputable company, but they are charging the cost upfront before pickup or...
