The Goat Dropped Off New Ride

[tcarey69]

Cade Drove All The Way To Nebraska From Louisiana (2000 Miles) There And Back. Left Friday And Got Here Sat At 5 And Turned Around And Went Home...thanks Man..he Had The Tri-z And Two Atc 70's In The Back Of The Scion..(i Think It Had A Basement In It). These Are Pics On My Trailer..

[ATC-Eric]

Holy cow thats a lot of driving for a bike!

How is it? Does it run?

[rdlsz24]

Dang that was nice of him to deliver! Hopefully you made it worth his while.

[tcarey69]

Yes I Did And We Will Be Doing Business Again..no Spark On Engine..missing Stuff Here And There..but Not A Problem..extemely Happy.

[3wheelencowboy]

Damn I got my tank from him and really appreciated that. But that is above and beyond. Nice looking bike haven't seen one here.

[yamaha_ripper98]

nice z looks perty shouldnt take much to make it a runner i got the 86 z off trikecrazy yesterday slappem my 85 clutch cover on it and it started up and idled 3rd is blown out but cant complain traded the 2001 yz80 for it now i need an 86 tranny i have a feeling its gonna be pricey

[braunz200x]

very nice tri-z and sounds like this goat fella does good business

[aldochina]

2000 miles, thats crazy, I cant imagine it being worth the sale of a trike, even if you get double what your local market would bring. Unless the dude just likes to drive!:crazy:

[tcarey69]

i offered to meet him halfway, but he wanted to come the whole way..very intelligent individual..if anyone gets a chance to visit with him you will be impressed...started for ten seconds then stripped it down nothing but a frame now.....

[The Goat]

Thanks for the praise buddy. If anyone should be praising it's me. Very good gent to do business with:

As for delivery, free room through work, 30 mpg, and a desire to see more of the country. I took a 30 mile gravel road across Iowa connecting 34 and the famed route 66. Cool stuff. I'm glad someone got the z though... Couldn't justify it sitting on my patio when someone else can restore it.

His collection is very very minty.

Glad to hear she fired up, had a good bit of compression... I could barely knock her over grunting by hand. You work FAST.

Girlfriend pointed out your son read the shirt and sticker on the back glass, hope I didn't offend. I didn't even realize, my other one expressingdistaste for Idaho I made sure to leave at the hotel.

[The Goat]

btw 2600 total miles since we went through Missouri.

Right after we left your place, traction control and vcs and check engine light came on. On the scion that's a couple of possible things with the vvti...

Quick Internet search said that I like an idiot forgot to clean my air filter last oil change and dusted up a sensor in the intake, plus ehanol heavy fuel... Cleaned the sensor, two tanks of premium, and she reset. Was sputtering like hell for a minute there.

[tcarey69]

glad to hear you made it back safe..shirt and bumpersticker didn't offend at all..they see worse at school..glad the (2) story high scion is doing better..did you happen to have the 70's rear hubs and black metal guards that cover rear sprocket??

[oscarmayer]

yea that ol goat is a pretty good due. :thumbsup:

glad ya got the car worked out too man!

[Tri-Z Pilot]

Yeah Goat seems like a very upstanding man from what I've heard/read, and talkin to him on the board. I know I've read some of his posts on jetting, and expansion chamber theories I believe. Some of the stuff he talks about makes my head hurt. It's hard for my 3 brain cells to comprehend the points that he gets across sometimes.

Anyway, I definately hope to do business with him in the future.

[The Goat]

see I knew I forgot something. Gotta send a member a check tomorrow anyways... I'll send em off priority. If I'm not mistaken they are on the work bench.

Yeah, just had a thick girl on the shirt...

Back glass though "I am a murderous rogue, I will kill you, and eat your children, if provoked."

Lol she said his eyes got as big as saucers when he read it.

Meant to tell you, One of those stator pates has brand new points and condensor on it. Zero run time as I swapped to cdi.

[The Goat]

Definitely not me on the expansion chamber stuff, that stuff is wizardry. Not meant to be understood by a poor ol dumb Cajun boy like myself. Lol

[Tri-Z Pilot]

Yeah, I wasn't sure, but I know I've seen you discuss some stuff that just pure astonishment.

[ATC-Eric]

Hey hey now, what part of MO did you pass through Goat? Should of made a shout out across the boards. Could have meet up and done some riding! Kryten and I were already out on Sat.

[The Goat]

I think we passed through every part of missouri...

Straight up 55 then over to Kansas city. We barelymade t home in time though... Taylor and I had school, and I was spent 2-4 hours in bed each night.

I'm not opposed to running back up there eventually. Pretty country up there.

[snakemaster]

Goat do you have a boat ? i shure would love a 86 200x and a atc 90 taken over to Scotland :naughty: i would have the bigest dram wating for you :beer

[ATC-Eric]

Whenever you do give me some warning to put somthing together.

And on the other side of things, Im lookin to come down with bikes at some point to visit a couple in LA on my way on through to Pensicola. We'll get together some time.

[Dirtcrasher]

Holy CHIT!!

IDK if some people realize how far that actually is/was!!

PENNSATUCKAFUCKAYUCKAWAY at 6 hours was just enough and not too much for me to endure, and thats with DEEPA doing all the driving... 6 to 8 hours is about all I can tolerate even as a passenger.... Unfortunately I simply CANNOT sleep in a vehicle no matter who fricken tired I am!!

TF08 at 19 hours was WAY too much for me and I won't do it again without a nights stay at about 10 hours....

Thats probably an 800$ or better round trip as far as any "shipper" would be concerned....

Very nice of you to help out there GOATSTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :beer: :D

And, the Z looks SAWEEEEET!!

[The Goat]

And that's the only reason I preach about fuel mileage people. It's cheaper for me to bring it than for people to come get it.

The scion hums at 85 and sits at about 160 degrees. I've got a kawi dirt bike in the back right now. Pics soons.

[The Goat]

Also I have the land to ride on if it ain't hunting season. Most are welcome near anytime. Lol

[Autophysn]

Dude, In a Scion? I had an 05 Scion XB, what kind of Scion do you have?

They are cool cars< but aside from that, You are the Man Goat! I don't think I would have done that. Kudos Brother.

[The Goat]

I have a black one just like yours. You'd be amazed what you can fit in that thing.

[chrislewis]

the goat put on some miles to come to kentucky to get that z from me as well, im glad to see you got it running i knew it wouldnt take much.

[NINJA]

2000 miles, thats crazy, I cant imagine it being worth the sale of a trike, even if you get double what your local market would bring. Unless the dude just likes to drive!:crazy:

Notice everyone ignored that comment? It's not crazy at all when it comes down to one enthusiast doing business with another. That's 50% if not more, of what it is all about. That's just simply good honest business which in turn leads to loyal connections and future business. At least now we all know where you stand AldaChino:welcome:

[Autophysn]

haha, yeah, this is a sport filled with plenty of great people who can relate to a great cause,:TrikesOwn

[The Goat]

plus I've driven to Pennsylvania, just to grab a burger...

In his defense it seemed like he was saying I would be taking a hard loss to bring it. And if I were using a truck, had to pay for a room, anything else, he'd be correct. When I picked up my 350x from Syko last year, I foolishly used a truck. 12-15 mpg the whole way there with high gas prices. Never again.

But with gas down to 175 for the most part, I can fill up for 20 flat and have a 330+ mile range.

Had a couple of bites for parts, but i'll never part out one. I'll sell parts off of mine, but no complete part outs.

Trace was a good guy to do business with, and the sale allowed me to see a little bit more of the country. Granted, there's nothing to really see up there, lol. But at least I can say I've driven it.

Hell I'll pick up and deliver bikes for members if the price is right... Just pay my gas and food. Lol.

[honda250sx]

Just have to get some DOT stickers for the Scion lol

[brapp]

where did you drive to pennsylvania just for a burger? next time you decide to do it up i got trikes and quads come on up and lets ride dude!

[userj8670]

I have done that before....Quaker Steak and Lube ROCKS!!:beer

[The Goat]

We drove up to dennys beer barrel pub for the burger challenge. Is it clearville? Idk. Was labor day before last. This labor day we drove down to clearview a few hundred miles above Miami.

I'm always up for a ride. But with work I have to schedule way in advance and then still don't get it. Scheduled off valentines and mardi gras back in July... First day I started. And it looks like I'll be on schedule. No way in HELL am I working Sunday before mardi gras though. That's like my Christmas.

I work parttime and still log about sixty a week there hence my distaste when I don't get off. Are you in southern Pennsylvania brapp? Cause kentucky is just a hop skip and a jump.

We totally jacked poor guys thread... I'm still curious as to how he works so fast.
