Jeep, Cliff, Bike Trail, Idiot.

If you are very curious, my entire experience with Jeep enthusiasts was as a kid. They were all Middle aged white guys who owned or were part of the management team for construction companies/contractors in Utah. Once or twice a year they would plan a big offroading trip to Moab and Canyonlands, My dad worked with them, and had to ingratiate himself with them. He would always be invited along, and it was somewhat expected that one or two of us kids would come along. So yes, I have a specific stereotype for what image pops into my head when I hear 'jeep enthusiast'. I know that it's not really accurate and there are all types, that's just what I picture.

I thought it was pretty impressive as well, though I know very little about Jeeping.

Spend 50k on a rig that will never see dirt. Amidoingitrite?

Oh, they would 'see dirt', but in a controlled manner, that allowed everyone to go back to the resort at the end of the day.



Actually, a lot of the same people owned Harleys.

did they have a trailer specific to each, or was it a jeep/harley trailer? i'm imagining a treailer for each one because "the jeep trailer is too big for the bike"

I'm close to buying a trailer to haul my off-road truck around on, and I have one for the bikes already, AND I have a 16x7 box trailer...

You ever find a motor for that Oldwing?

I could not tell you for sure. Not all of them towed their jeeps at all, but for those that did... A lot of these guys owned small construction businesses so they had access to trailers, and they would use those. I could not tell you if they used the same one for different vehicles.

Ended up with another entire bike with clean paperwork... which actually is kindof a pain because I still want an engine for the original bike.
 
LOVED hearing about this story, and watching the video. irrespective of how it started (everyone fucks up now and then), all those dudes who came to the rescue were TOTALLY. FUCKING. AWESOME! :hail
