Assisted needed
« on: April 05, 2026, 11:27:43 PM »
I am purchasing a V50 from a board member who resides in Portland Maine.
Would we have a member who lives near the area of Portland who may be coming to NC for any reason in the next few months, who would be willing to transport the bike to central NC, the Piedmont Triad area. Maybe visit the beautiful Great Smokey Mountains and any of the dozens of the Appalachians Wonders and scenic landscapes.
I will fund the trip and offer my river house for a free place to stay, which is on the north fork of the new river, while a taker tours the Smokey’s.
If this adventure is of interest to anyone please just PM me so we can discuss a possible adventure for someone.

Thanks
Dan

I'm not going Maine to NC anytime soon, but if it comes down to putting together a relay I can handle a day trip through the central portion (~NY-DE or MD or the like).

I can house the bike in south central Pennsylvania (right off of I-81 PA exit 20) for a couple day if needed for the second leg of the relay teams to pick up.

If only I still had my car, I’d trailer it down, stopping at all the WG members along the way so they could add some goofy farkle to the bike  :evil:

Thanks for the offers guys, we’ll see how it plays out.
Lucian has given me a really good, buddy pal price, to the point that the cost of getting it to the central part of NC, Winston Salem or in the Smokey’s at the river place, exceeds the price I’m getting the V50 for.
Dirk offered to rent a U-Haul in may when he comes south to visit family and bring the V however he checked today and it would cost around $1200 just for the rent and that’s not including gas.
Wife got a price from a bike transporter for around 1200 bucks!
I haven’t checked Haul Bikes because I had a major conflict with them with my last time I hired them to transport a Calvin from up north.
I guess Dirk is going to need to go purchase a new truck to get the V50 down here. 😉😂
My hopes were that one of the members would want to take a trip to the great Smoky Mountains and could pick the bike up and come to the Smokies. I would put them up in the River house for as long as they needed to spend as much time as they wanted in the great Smoky Mountains.
