Steve from SoCal Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 Sorry you folks are getting so much rain, at least it has been late at night so far. I will offer to host an open house at my shop if any of you are interested, the shop is a couple miles south of the fair grounds at D and Washington, a block west of Main st. Plenty of parking even indoors, perhaps 8 trucks sans trailers.

BlueLghtning Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 Not very exciting but it shows some of these beautiful rigs. Thanks for sharing! I hate it that I wasn't able to go to check out all the trucks. I saw you had a couple more vids on your channel of a few people driving one of Gregg's trucks. And your second video gave me an ah-ha moment when I saw that 2nd Cyclone Toy Hauler at the end with the motorcycle parked under the front part. Just because I've never owned a 5th wheel, I hadn't even thought about that, but great idea to get the bike out of the way, but still somewhat protected from the elements. If anyone is carrying any motorcycles on the back of their rig or in some sort of garage setup on the rig, I'd love to see that too if you get a chance. Just looking for different ideas of how to carry motorcycles, besides always in a toy hauler.

sclord2002 Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 We met Steve in Hutch earlier in the year, toured his shop and stayed at the fairgrounds. His shop is not to be missed. He was very kind and hospitable to us and we really enjoyed our visit with him. He is a really interesting guy and also knows the best place to get killer BBQ.

I didn't even feel like reading the forum. We plan on making the west coast rally. Working on truck batteries right now though. Have a great day and safe travels as you all leave.
