RAMPS - Free if You pay shipping

[Victor H]

I have two sets of ramps for free, so long as if you want them you are willing to pay shipping.

(1) The long ramps are 10' in length and are used normally for off-road vehicles. They do not fold. Thus this set of ramps will come in a single, long package. An image is shown below.

(2) The second set of ramps is 8'-long and folds to 2'-long. I have used these ramps of my scooter, but only once since I now have a lift on the back of my truck. Unlike the first set of ramps, this folding set has a flat surface and not closely-spaced bars/rungs as a surface. An image of this set of ramps is also shown below.

I took the images from a ramp wholesale website since I am too busy to go out and take photos of the ramps in the garage.

Just send me an e-mail or PM if you want either of, or both of the sets.

Your awesome Victor!

[Victor H]

Sandy,

If my neighbor does not come by and pick-up my Suzuki 250 Quadrunner, I will give that away too. It just needs a starter ($35), although it can be started manually.

-Vic

[SandyC]

Wow, you are cleaning house! I prefer to give away my stuff when I don't need it anymore too.

[Victor H]

My better half wants a cleaned garage, and since the Suzuki is just sitting in there and has not been used for a while, it is time to get rid of it.

Forunately, one of my clients purchased it for us to complete his project which was very large (1,280 acres), and so getting rid of it will not be a loss for us. I just hope that it can be of use to someone else.

If nobody wants it by the end of the week, I am going to donate it to the MS Society. They can sell it and keep the profits (2k I think).

I have a huge work bench that needs to go too. It was used my North American Aviation in the 1940's, and weight was not an issue for them. So getting rid of it will be a task since it is so massive.

Want a Suzuki, ramps and/or a BIG work bench?:)

-Vic

[SandyC]

I would love the work bench. Something tells me it wont make it to Chicago! lol

[Victor H]

Sandy,

The bench is 14' wide, 5' deep and 10' tall. It can be broken down into about 80 parts (minus the nuts & bolts).

Maybe I can get one of those C-17's here at March Air Force Base drop it off via parachute for you!:eek::)

-Vic

[SandyC]

Holy beejesus I would probably have a heart attack if I saw something falling from the sky! lol

[Victor H]

Any takers??????:confused:

[tamiloo]

Vic...We go many places where there is no way the Olhipie can access without a ramp....so I think you might have a taker for the ramps....pick me!!! So what do we do now...??

Tamiloo,

Which of the two sets do you want? Both are availalbe, and I will send them to you via UPS through my corporate account on Monday. You can e-mail you address to me or PM me with the address and I will take care of it.

UGGGGHHHHH.....my wife sold the small ramps at the garage sale yesterday! But, I will still send you the longer ones if you want them. :)

Sheesh...if only I knew beforehand. Sorry about that.

-Vic

[Victor H]

Tamiloo,

The large ones are all that we have now.

-Vic

[tamiloo]

Sounds fantastic...I sent you my Addy...sounds like the wife has been really busy.

Thanks, Vic!!:D

[Victor H]

Tammy,

They are being packed for shipment in the morning.

I hope that they are useful to you.:)

-Vic

[Victor H]

Tammy,

We need to find another way to get the ramps to you. UPS is charging twice the actual value of the ramps themselves (see image below). I will sort this out. It may take an extra day or so to resolve the shipping issue, but I can do it.

The obvious thing for me to do is to take the ramps to the UPS delivery hub myself (at Ontario Airport) and that should help since we have a UPS account.

I will let you know when the ramps are on the truck and headed to your place.

-Vic

[tamiloo]

Vic...that is a lot of trouble, you are a good man...do let me know when they are on their way.

[Victor H]

Tammy,

My wife is looking into alternative shippiing methods as I type.

-Vic

[tamiloo]

Vic...you guys are great. Craig was wondering if you had the adoption papers drawn up yet...Mom and Dad...lol

[Victor H]

Tammy,

We do still have the small, folding ramps! It was the larger, ORV ramps that were sold.

The smaller ones (8' long) fold down to about 2'-long. They are in a box and ready to go out in the morning to your home.

-Vic

[Victor H]

Tammy & Craig,

Both sets of ramps were sent today.

The larger set was returned to us last night becuase the purchaser could not find a use for them.

We sent it via US Mail, which will take one week for delivery.

So, you will get two packages next week. I hope they work out well for you two.

-Vic

[tamiloo]

Vic your the best!!! Thanks for all you effort...:yahoo:

[Victor H]

Tammy,

I just spoke with my local Mail Boxes Etc. owner at the coffee shop and he said that the ramps were not picked up from his business on the 22nd because the big ones were too big for the mail truck, so they have scheduled them to be shipped on Tuesday.

-Vic

[tamiloo]

Hey Vic, no worries...when they do arrive I will let you know...thanks so much!! Your the best!!:hug:

[Riverwild]

You are a good man, Vic!

I'd help you out by taking that quadrunner off your hands but I would have to ride it from CA to ME because my truck is no longer roadworthy.

I could use one for an island transport vehicle to haul gear and people from the dock to the house. I have a nasty hill and I am trying to figure out how to set up some sort of mechanized mover right now. It's about a 60 degree incline and it gets harder every year! I think a zip line would be fun for the ride down but the more delicate flowers among the guests might take a powder after seeing how they get back DOWN the hill!:p

Worst part about owning a camp on an island...haul in...haul out.:rolleyes:

[Victor H]

RW,

If you can find a way to get it to your place, then the Quadrunner is yours.;)

I can take care of the registration transfer here in CA.

-Vic

[Victor H]

Tammy,

These are the ones that are on the way!:D

-Vic

[tamiloo]

Thanks Vic...

They will be great!! I do appreciate all you went through to get them to us....:D

[Victor H]

Thanks Vic...

I wonder if I ship a set of old tires, and the Mail Boxes Etc guy crushes them too, I get new tires and another voucher! ~LOL~:D

As soon as I get a confirmation code I will send it to you so that you can track the progress of the new ramps to Utah.

-Vic

[Victor H]

Scratch the tire idea, as I just got your PM. How about a Tiffany lamp....

Wow, that would make for a huge voucher!

LOL

[Victor H]

Hey Vic, no worries...when they do arrive I will let you know...

Tammy,

Here is another bit of amazing news!:)

The small set of ramps were salvaged (and they were just returned to me).:D I will put them in another box and send them out as soon as I can find a decent box. I think my neighbors just purchased a TV, and so I will see if they can fit in that box.

-Vic

Fed Ex will take the salvaged ramps to you via ground transport. They will pick them up in the box (shown below) in the morning. The box is heavy.

I checked them out and they are in great shape, other than a few mini scratches (1" long). But, you should see how bad the larger ramps fared! LOL, they were flattened!

Let me know when the box arrives.

-Vic

[tamiloo]

Wow...thats all I can say...however this has been an amazing adventure....probably because Olhipie was partially involved.

"The Amazing Adventure of the Grand Ramps":wink:

I will definitely let you know when they arrive!!

Hmmmmm....

AMN, Eastward Bound???????:rolleyes:

[Victor H]

AMN, Eastward Bound???????:rolleyes:

LOL !

Cindy, if you want to pick it up, it is sitting in the garage being used as a bookshelf (see below),.., and it really needs a good home!

Maybe you can pick it up and sell it on EBAY for $1,000 (which is the BlueBook value since it only has about 300 miles on it).

I have to admit that the Suzuki Quadrunner is not a good replacement for a scooter (it makes too much noise:(; can't ride it legally on a sidewalk :(<<<unless you want to play "Bowling for Pedestrians":confused:>>>; it requires that evil liquid we call gas.):(

But, then again, with all of those bad sides to using a Quadrunner, the fun that you can have knocking over gangbangers on the sidewalk could be worth the price!:D

-Vic

[AfterMyNap]

LOL, Vic, if I come and get it, I'm going to ride it all the way out to RW's house! I'll leave whatever's left of it right in her yard.

:ROTFLMAO: :ROTFLMAO: :ROTFLMAO: :ROTFLMAO: :ROTFLMAO: :ROTFLMAO: :ROTFLMAO: :ROTFLMAO: :ROTFLMAO:

Is it an automatic? Right toe brake???:rolleyes:

Say, Vic, seriously, the NPS rangers use them on Catalina, maybe you could get a tax deduction and a taker in one shot!

Cindy,

I have already offered it to the NPS as well as the NMSS as a donation. Neither will take it. This is the exact same thing that happened when I gave away my boat & trailer last year.

My neighbor may just stop over tomorrow and I might be able to give it to him.

-Vic

[tamiloo]

Vic got the big set of ramps that were damaged...scratched. We got them yesterday but I din't get online until today.

What else were you sending?? Just so I can watch for them...again thanks so much!!:hug:

Tammy,

The other set of ramps is new and being sent directly from the factory to your home in Utah. An image of what you will be getting is shown below.

-Vic

P.S. These new ramps are much lighter than the ones that you got today.

[tamiloo]

Vic, we got the other set of ramps today! These are going to come in so handy. We have so many friends that we can't go to visit because of stairs leading to their front door. Wow, now we won't be restricted anymore. With the upcoming back surgery I will have these will help me a lot...I won't have to try to pull him up stairs....wow, Vic, your the bestest!!!

I don't know if thanks is enough...but thank you so much!!!:hug:

[sassy]

Vic, as I read this thread I got tears in my eyes...shared your wonderful giving spirit with my husband. We both find it so refreshing in this day and age. May God Bless you and yours!

Tami and ol' hippie may you enjoy these forever and I am sure you will remember the kind 'stranger' that made this all possible each and every time you use them!

OK, who else wants to clone Vic for their next door neighbor??

[Av8rgirl]

Vic

You are one caring and giving guy. :hug:

What's the status on the Quadrunner? Did your neighbor pick it up?

Let me know, I just may come down there and get it myself.

We can go do some picture taking of plant life in the desert while we're at it!

Whadya think?

Cheryl,

One of my clients (KMT Racing) is picking it up this week so that he can drive around on his property in Temecula (image 1, below). He just created an off-road track for his kids (image 2, below) and now has to flatten it out and revegetate the area (because he did not get the appropriate permits - UGH). He will use the Suzuki to find a better place for a new practice track when his kids get back from the race in Germany.

Taking pictures of desert plants at this time may be tough, as we may melt! LOL. My coolest desert project site is averaging 112F, with almost no wind (NAF El Centro Superstition Mountain Bombing Range, image 3, below).

For now, I am going to just sit in the cool a/c and plan for the fall botanical surveys in El Centro. (Can you believe that anything grows there anyway? LOL.)

-Vic

[Av8rgirl]

Well maybe I might have to come down there in the fall! 112 is way too hot for me! I would love to go out and take pictures with you on a job site! That would be a lot of fun! Seriously!

I hope your friend enjoys the quadrunner!

[jprinz99]

Dear Vic-

You are one hell of a good guy and your wife is a peach! Makes me proud to be a human being. Thank you!

Cheryl,

If we can win the contract for the new solar project that I am negotiating, then that may a good project for you to see!
