Cruised up the coast and just happened upon a nice fellow with a forklift and a crate.  So I felt obliged to let him put the crate in my truck an take it home.



Once I got it home I felt compelled to open it.
Holy smokes,  they sure did not skimp on nails...

After I open it I looked inside to find a strange thing with tires....



So I completely unpacked it and found this..

Ahhhh! I met the same man! ;D
Now I had to clear EVERYTHING out of my "bike house" to fit the rig in! ;)
Best part- As a motorcycle addict and wood worker, I got a rig AND some "Imported" wood to build that tool box I've been thinking of building for years! ;D

But honey! It follwed me home and it WAS on SALE! Can I keep it? Huh? Can I? Can I? Everyone else HAS one, why can't I?  ;)

Will it tow this hack? yup



I don't know, I think I need a bigger bike...Also, the center bracket looks like it will interfere with the kick start.

Kick starting w/hack attached is tricky. Just very, VERY thankful that I wear steel toed boots as my right boot has a lovely dent in the toe from hitting the main bracket with it while KS. I'm not always a fan of the push button start, but to save my foot and toe I find it best.
