I want to ship my '32 Coupe from Portland, Oregon to Phoenix, Arizona and need someone to meet the trucker at a storage location.

Shipping will be anytime from 3 weeks from now to January 31st.

At one time I spoke to Conrad about this but lost his info.

email itsradu@gmail.com or call my cell 403 -850-6230

Thank you

Barry, Deb and I winter in Apache Junction AZ which is about 30 miles from Phoenix.

Just send it down and I will get it properly broken in for you. Please also send a couple extra sets of tires and enough cash for bail money.

Well damn...this trip to ride around Phoenix area early Feb vaporized quickly after all the hassles to finally find someone to accept the trike there and cost of shipping it there.

On a good note...I got the trike to Phoenix only a couple weeks ago. Booked flights for Feb 1st thru 12th..trike would be picked up early March and onto Daytona....all looked really great...all I needed to do was get there and have fun.

Then a few days ago I found out that the shipping that I was counting on from Phoenix to Daytona early March was no longer guaranteed, a possibility but not 100%. So I had to make quick decisions as the trike had to get to Daytona or I would have no Daytona Bike week and also no Germany.

Daily Direct could not get the trike to Daytona if I waited until I completed my holiday there after Feb 12th to ship.

Today I booked for Daily Direct to haul the trike out of Phoneix fairly soon (week to 10 days) and off to Daytona where Whitney from Boss Hoss Daytona will store for a few weeks.

Shit happens and I can't be mad at the shipper who could not guarantee the haul to Daytona anymore...his schedule / load was thrown out of whack with cancellations for bike spots to Daytona.

So my trike has gotten to see Phoneix but I won't...Oh well...things could be worse so I look for the best and that is in 2 months in Daytona.

You may have missed one vacation BUT you are now in position to enjoy two SPECTACULAR Events :)
The fortunate thing is that you found out about the shipping maladies now instead of the end of February!!

Absolutely...at least I still had control / time and was able to make decisions to adjust...

Daily Direct is just awesome to deal with...

AND..I put the Phoenix trip back in the Bucket...
