I changed the link in the original post so it should work now......not sure what happened but thank you for pointing it out!

Wild man..... are you still living on the barge in the river? I probably would weave a cheap ratchet strap around that just to make sure I didn't find out why it was recalled....... I see your ready for the Apocalypse in fine fashion. Do you have four spare wheels tires or just the three I can see in the pics?

 

You're a funny guy Army. The recall part was cut off the main unit. I should have expected that and commented on it in the original posting. The square tubes that run horizontally have 1/2 inch all-thread connecting the stand to the gate, in addition to the bolts you can see. So it should not be going anywhere.

I made it adjustable because I have a 1984 Honda Interceptor VR1000 and 1940 Trail-Cycle Outlaw that I am going to be mounting on a swing out gate. [It will swing out the opposite direction of the gate the Tire mount is on] [Not at the same time!] [The Trail cycle was built by a company my 2 uncles owned in Idaho, so it's a family Heirloom.]

I am in the middle of a restoration of the 40's bike. In addition to restoring it, am converting it to electric. Here are some of the pics of what I have done so far & the motor/controller/batteries. The gate shown in the pics is just an example, mine will be more substantial.

As for the rest of your questions, I'm in East Texas for a while, my Mom was diagnosed with Parkinson's and is rapidly losing memory and my Dad is just an old falling apart retired Master Sergent.
I have had a lab set up in their garage for many years so it's actually an easy place for me to work from. It is giving me time for a bunch of projects so it's not too bad...

The tires are just spares that I wanted to have with me when I do the next build. I am going to do a separate post as this one has already gone off point. I am excited to get your feedback on some things I am thinking of ....

Best,
Tex

 

I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Being in Texas, that probably used to be a pretty clean D1. Now it looks like someone bolted a shopping cart to your rear door.

 

Creative, I'll give you that. I'd lose the two slicks on the roof.

 

Well, it should be very apparent after 12+ years of numerous modifications (Many posted on this forum) that I am unmoved by "shopping cart" comments. As many negative comments as I hear, I have heard many more that dig the mods.

Did you ever hear the one about the guy who hung his Land Rover in a tree to prove a point?

Every year with the U.S. forums I am on, D1 owners drop off like fly's and mine is still around as a daily driver and doing new fun things.

Also, the truck was bought and lived in New England for 3/4 of its life...so no easy Texas life until the last couple of years.

 

The roof tires were put there to transport them back to East Texas. I just haven't gotten around to taking them back off. There not spares, just an extra set from a donor truck that I wanted with me when I get to the lift/bigger tires project...

 

I’ll admit the saw table legs where a really clever repurpose on the Apocalypse Rover. I remember the pics of you hanging it too.
