Which way you headed through?

MrBeast · 10-09-2008, 08:33 PM

All depends, shortest route is to run up 77 to Victoria, then shoot north through LaGrange, but I can always swing over either way towards SA or Houston if need be.

Jtrux · 10-09-2008, 08:55 PM

If you were coming through SA i'd say stop on by but no need to go out of your way, next time I go fishing down in Port A or Big Shell i'll let you know.

Yeah, I know I know. I see how it is.

Zumo · 10-10-2008, 10:06 AM

Were are y ou headed on Dallas? I have dirt bike sitting in my Uncle's shed in Corpus that i need to get. Not sure they would go for some guy they don't know taking a bike from them, haha. My uncle is very cautious.

MrBeast · 10-10-2008, 10:10 AM

I am going up to pick up a bunch of parts that I bought then coming right back. I could easily bring that bike up if you wanted, all id ask in return is a little help on the fuel bill.

If they were at all worried about who I am, I am the disbatcher over here at C.C. Crane and Rigging, I am a pretty easy guy to find.

If your interested send me a PM

I had a great time man, the trip went off with out a hitch, I totaled out 905 miles, (as per the GPS) and I got 10.25 MPG on the way up dragging the empty trailer, and 9.5 on the way back loaded. Truck ran great. Actually the trip made me fall in love with that truck all over again.

I reall enjoyed meeting you and Critter as well, here before too long were going to have to do it again.
