Been riding the moto a bunch lately, but decided to dust it off my trusty DH bike for a couple shuttle runs over the weekend. I've traveled quite a bit and have been involved in some sketchy shuttling operations, but this one takes the cake. 7 peope and 7 bikes in/on a Volkswagen Scirocco dubbed the "Millennium Falcon."

Let's see your sketchy shuttle pictures.

ironically, I got a membership application to the NRA in the mail yesterday.

We were just thinking that they needed a dog to round out the crew.
That V-dub has epic written all over it.
The two on the hood need to straddle over the bikes on the roof rack.

 

[Transcend]

Dude, that is amazing, ha.

 

[ire]

Awesome! I've been shuttled, for snowboarding, on the hood...sketchy to say the least

 

[CBJ]

This reminds me of Sundays Top Gear episode where the proved you do not need a big SUV to cross an African country. Nice car.

millenium falcon is indestructable.

 

[William42]

i did that in a civic hatchback (also 7 people)

You probably needed people on the hood just to give the front tires traction.

 

[PatBranch]

Both pics are crazy. My friend just got a Buick Park Avenue. He said he can fit two bike in the trunk w/ the wheel off and one in the back seat.

He's thinking about getting a hitch put on.

 

[Slugman]

odly enough - you were involved in this one too...

He doesn't even need that, hes already ridin' dirty

 

[frznnomad]

9 guys and 1 pumpkin

well, actually the suspension wasn't very stiff to begin with, so with 7 people we'd actually already bottomed it out in both ends


it was an exciting drive up, especially when the trailer started ripping off the car, but we made it in the end

 

[rosenamedpoop]

No pics unfortunately, but we did 10 guys/bikes in a Dodge Dakota for a number of runs that included a stretch on HWY 9 (busy and curvy).

She did blow that corner coming down Kamikaze.

I seem to remember 7 guys being crammed into a GTI with bikes on the back to go to Sea Otter...not quite shuttle, but not quite not sketch.

Sadly, no pics of it loaded...

More sausage than a Denny's special.

[dante]

what is a "shuttle"? is that what you use when the chairlift breaks down?

 

[demolition dave]

This was at Windrock, TN. Shuttled with the jeep (could do 3 bikes up front and 4 in the back).........slept in the RV!

 

[Sandwich]

did that scirocco actually make it to the top?

That's James' car, right? Casa Munras, baby! That was what, 3 years ago?

 

[manwithgun]

of Mammoth, no; but the MF was capable. We were driving a bit dirty and opted not to summit.

Would be more impressive is you'd gone up Trail 2 like that:

hahahah I think I remember screaming "today's a good day to die."

Hells yeah! Remember the garbage can full of beer for the e.13 tent? You going next year? I'm debating, as a month afterwards I'll be living in Santa Cruz.

Looks like the woolfsberg edition too need the euro headlights

[drkenan]

Shuttling in the Audi S4 [Crappy quality but my favorite pic of the summer]...

 

[bdamschen]

Six people, six bikes... Luckily one was nearly a midget.

 

[ChrisKring]

I'm impressed with the VW. Wow.

Here is my best. 15 people shuttling with my 1/2 ton truck. The frame was sitting on the bumps stops when I got out to take the picture. We have done 20 in Brady's (Taz) truck though.

or even a few more in this nice rig for $19.95 a day.

 

[drkenan]

^^^ Will that be tagging along next weekend??

 

[ChrisKring]

^^^ Will that be tagging along next weekend??

Trailer: Yes

Uhaul: No

Brady is pulling the trailer with his truck.

Right now, I think we are full. That said, I would expect some room by noon on Saturday when some people start to take breaks. There might be competition for spots though since I am hearing that there will be 50+ people there. Who knows, maybee over 100 people.

Hahaha, This picture reminds me when I sued to live in Ecuador, this was the only way to get to the top of the mountain, good times.......

 

[dwnhiller]

[TheInedibleHulk]

No pictures, but we were overloaded at bootleg one day so one guy got towed up each run with a broomhandle and a long bike lock attatched to the ball hitch of a 2 door old explorer.
