Redefining hipster??

Oh, geez. As if cramming a Stella into one's Element isn't bad enough...

I hit up Ikea on the way home.

Oh well... At least I can still laugh at myself.

LOL

I love this.. I wish I would have taken a picture of me moving to Sandusky, Ohio from Chicago.... In just my itty bitty Chevy Aveo..

THAT was a sight to see...

Or not to see... I had two windows.. Driver side window.. and MOST of the windshield.....and a tunnel to my passenger side mirror.

Congrats on the Stella.

Hipster can't be redefined. I'd have to start all over.

I live in Tucson, and on Thursday there was a rain storm, right when I had to leave, and thought about putting the Buddy in the back of the car.
I drive an Element and knew that I could fit it in it but, it would be difficult with the 2.5 year old in the car seat in the back.

Stored it in a locking shed at work, very cool.

Great taste in vehicles I must say Element and Buddy, nice!

I have the opposite color scheme though blue Buddy, green Element.
Don't have a picture like that though.

My OH needs another body to help put the cruiser in the back of the truck. One to walk it up the ramp and the other to spot it as it goes up. And that thing is 800# easy. I would think you could do the same for the Blur?

I'd rather find someone to help me roll it up a $50 ramp than buy any of those, but if you don't have that option…

I've seen people just start it and ride it up the ramp. You probably don't want to risk that, but it'd probably work in a pinch. It helps to have a few beers first.

Or find a box to stand on, stand to the right front of the bike and keep both hands on the brakes, and edge it up with the throttle. You just need to be able to step up on the box and then onto the gate as you're doing it, and be sure to keep the handlebars straight.

When I read that, all I could think was 'Hold my beer and watch this!'
