HOLY SHIT!! I just won a motorcycle!

 

That’s awesome man! I like the VFR swingarm.

 

Does the bike run? Or do you have to finish building it?

 

Ive never won anything on Instagram, and honestly thought no one ever does. Now Im a believer. (Gotta play the lottery now too)

The bike is in Richmond VA, at Classified Moto secret shop. These guys made Darrell's bike on Walking Dead, and their motorcycle was also featured in the movie 6 Underground. They are an awesome "local" builder. I hope i can arrange "timely pickup" gotta disassemble my truck to fit it in.

 

I assume that it doesn't run. The description says its been sitting for a couple years. There's another cafe builder near me, Moto Relic who id use to get it running.

 

Sounds like a job for TW express to come in and help a bit. Start calling in some favors!
I saw some TWD behind the scenes stuff where they talked about the shop. Looks like they build awesome stuff. Even half built, you're getting an awesome bike. Oddly enough looks to be in the same condition as my Yamaha that's been in the corner of my shop for a while now. Maybe I should do a giveaway...

 

I think Im going to take my tent and bed rack off of my truck, and then it can be used as a truck again. The shop is about 4 hours south of me. I wouldnt want to TW express something that big, between people that dont really ride. Just a personal preference..

 

You could also rent a U-haul motorcycle trailer for $20 if you don’t feel like disassembling.

 

I suppose so. Ive never towed in my life. And id need some sort of drop hitch too - 3" lift, 35s, and a HC bumper is pretty tall

 

8 inch drop would do. With it not running loading in the bed is a bit of a pain.

 

Just rent a small box truck from U haul.

 

I mean guys.. we are on a truck forum. We have trucks. Mine just needs a little work before it can haul.

I have been planning to repaint the rack anyways

 

Just get the u haul trailer. I’m gonna rent one when I go to Arizona to visit my buddy and bring the bike with me. It’s $15 for a day

 

Not disagreeing, lol. Ive just loaded my bike plenty. Do you have a ramp? Or one to borrow? 6ft minimum and something to step on. I was using my cooler

 

I would assume a big shop like that would have a ramp. I dont have one anymore, since I dont use my bed for moving bikes anymore.

 

How are you getting it out then? Lol

 

ohhh that is a good question. I guess i need to look at renting a trailer.

My gf's dad has a Tundra, but no ramp. Wonder if harbor freight has ramps..

EDIT: neighbor has a ramp. score!

 

Honestly either way your probably going to spend the same amount of money. Buy a ramp or buy a drop hitch/ball/rent a trailer.

 

I went back and found my entry/comment. It has a YZ450 motor, VFR swing arm, and GSXR750 front end. Also seems to have a CB750 gas tank. This is going to be a fun bike.
