There was a request for pictures of the van fully loaded. It isn't exactly fully loaded, but it has two bikes, an additional set of wheels and tires, an additonal set of tires, gear for three riders, tools, two sets of stands, room for duffel bags and an empty back seat. Vans are God's gift to bikerscum like me!
One bike in-

From the other end-

Second bike ready to go in. Note the leathers hanging on the side- they don't get in the way when they are hanging up.

Both bikes loaded, fuel cans at the back for easy access at the gasoline station. What you can't see is the amount of room between bikes that could be used for overnight bags, duffels, etc.

Here is all is from the other side. Everything that was on the seat before is now either under the seat or tucked away in the back.


I can't even tell you how great this machine really is. Sure, it burns a lot of fuel when it is running, but you can find them for absurdly low prices on Craigslist, and they don't burn fuel if they stay parked most of the time.

Great rig :upthumb:
Nice setup, easy on the wallet and practical - has all the makings of a great weekend at the track.

Looks like a perfect rig. Just curious why you keep the back seat in. More passenger space?

The passenger seat stays in for a number of reasons. I haul more than just bikes in the van, including members of my son's jazz combo. Once I get the van mechanically sorted, it will also get a trailer hitch so it can haul four bikes and four riders to places like Miller in Utah and down to Portland for trackdays. With four, the lousy fuel mileage isn't quite so painful.

The van is big enough to put a sheet of plywood behind the seat- I leave it in because I can! And besides, where else would you see such classy powder blue white and black plad? :razz:
