Roach Coaches

When riding one needs to use all of your senses. Not often does your sense of smell contribute but early one morning I was entering a corner in our industrial park at a good clip, justified because it's deserted. I smelled a roach coach, thought about a breakfast burrito, then my brain yells "greasy water trail". I look closer and there is a snail trail tangent to my line. Stood it up ran deeper and looked for customers scurrying across the street. Lost my appetite.

Dude, I know you spend time in the 'sink. It's already a sour cream cannon in there.

I just hate those trails of foul water/grease/nasty stinking crap that pours out of them on the entry/exits of the freeway. Am I the only one that tries to avoid that snail trail they leave in the corners?

Nope.. I love to slip and slide in those snail trails.. and then I make a huge entrance by skidding into the parking lot and dropping my motorcycle right in front of the truck.

I leave it on it's side until I'm done ordering a few Taco's and I've opened my soda. Then put down my soda and I casually pick up the bike like nothing happened...

There is this mini roach coach that sells gourmet cupcakes in downtown Oakland every Thursday. 3 bucks a pop. And they sell out within a couple of hours. 3 bucks a pop. You figure 200 cupcakes *3 bucks a pop, that's 600 bucks in two hours (not including baking time and supplies).
 
I haven't encountered the roach coach yet, but will look out for the danger if I see it.

Have you been on the Great Highway after a windy day? Try getting cars behind you to slow down when you are approaching beach sand about 3" high. Some of the drivers were good about it though.

Who said ANYTHING about operating in the city? :wtf

All I meant was, once the authorities get wind of something they like to regulate and tax the shit out of it. Sure it's worse in cities, but by now everyone has wind of it and it won't last long as a get-rich scheme.
 
I'm sure the roach coach life isn't necessarily all that glamorous nor a "get-rich-quick" scheme, but I have always wanted to be my own boss. Shit, who hasn't?
 
Curry Up Now FTW !!

regardless of whether or not you enjoy their menu,
these folks have the entire thing pretty well dialed
[which means lotsa civic maneuvering with The Man - in each city served]
 
Don't know if anyone mentioned it but the water is just the ice melting.
The truck guy at my work won the lotto for $2-$3 Million and still does the truck thing:wtf
One time, years ago I saw a Taco Bell roach coach. Can you imagine thousands of McDonald's trucks running around:laughing
 
My mother actually ran a catering truck back when I was a kid. This was before the hot trucks of today where they cook the food. Basically the passenger side was cold items, chips, candy etc. and the rear was an oven that had hot sandwiches like you get packaged at gas stations.

She did this for 20 years and when she had a good route it was not uncommon to make $1000 a day. Grant it she worked days and nights doing it but we lived well and she purchased 3 houses. Lived in one and rented the other 2 out.

But as others have said, the market is really over saturated. Unless you can find a good corner to work on trying to fight for customers going to job sites is hard as most good sites have contracts with catering companies. If you don't own the truck it's worse.
 
We only have a 9 and 11 am taco truck, I'm sure you could squeeze in there somewhere and drop me off an energy drink and breakfast burrito.
