Red Cat · 11-23-2011, 07:46 PM

Nice!

mikebike · 11-23-2011, 07:48 PM

Hi Cash,
no it is not a Blur but similar production numbers so it 'should' have similar collector value.

Yes the back and silver is a nice colour combination.
or is it Color here<G>

pikeville904 · 11-23-2011, 08:20 PM

Now that is sweet!!! Awesome looking R, hope it's everything you want it to be. I've got an 05 auto in Blur and love it!

mikebike · 11-23-2011, 08:29 PM

I just hope it does not snow on the day it arrives in Bellingham.
I don't want to pay for a flat deck to haul it to the border. As long as it keeps raining:<( I will be OK.
I would not want to get a ticket for driving without snow tiers in the snow before I even get it imported.

Yes I do too.

Flassh · 11-23-2011, 08:53 PM

Congrats, Mike

Glad it all worked out for you.

Should I put you on the "Coming to the Beach Cruise" list?

If KellyO and Tom (Skeet) come, we'd have 4 black on silvers.

If JR comes (I think he is, just haven't head from him yet) we'd have 3 silver on blacks. The two-tones would be well represented.

Hi Ray,
thank you for all your help and advice.

I could have made a lot of mistakes without the help from the members here.

Next will be rear end gear swap I think. Then a retune to correct the spedo and change the fan setting while I look at cooling alternatives.

You're definitely in trouble - typical Fanatic.

No truck yet, but already messing with it.

I think I'm just going to put you on the Beach Cruise list - sounds like you're hooked.

Yes I was at the Cruse In in 05 that is where I saw my first SSR up close.
I have a poto of it.
I was up there with my 1993 FLHTCU and sidecar and the local HOG chapter.

You still have that shot? Was 05 the year of the HOG rally in Penticton?

If so, I had a yellow SSR in Lackawana park, the only one I know of in the area at the time. Maybe I'm to blame for your illness.

That was a great year, between the Cruise, HOG Rally, and the Warbirds being in town on the same weekend.

I remember talking to a couple of the Harley guys - they thought the car show was awesome. Then the warbirds did a fly-by. One of them said "I think I've died and gone to heaven."

mikebike · 11-23-2011, 09:52 PM

Hi Ray,
I don't have that photo in digital, I will see if I can find the photo of it.
It was on a corner just before the park where the vendors were.

mikebike · 11-23-2011, 10:06 PM

Sorry Dale,
called you Ray<G>
it was a Yellow one.

Crash kinda works too..............

Dale's specialty is keeping track of wrecked SSRs.

I bought this SSR today:
Cars for Sale: 2006 Chevrolet SSR in Houston, TX 77090: Truck Details - 307517508 - AutoTrader.com.

Wow that is a long URL!
I am now awaiting paperwork so I can start the importation paperworks and arrange to pick it up in Bellingham WA.

I hope to meet lots of you at the Peach City Cruse In in June 2012

Nice, I have to admit I have looked at that ssr at least 10 times. If I didn't have my blur, I would have been working on that one. Good luck with it, hope it serves you well! Shadowman

nulogic1 · 11-25-2011, 08:17 AM

Dam it man now that's a trike!!

mikebike · 11-25-2011, 12:45 PM

My trike was my birthday present to myself last year.
This year the SSR for Christmas<VBG>

It will be shipped open carrier unfortunately I can't afford the extra $1200 to $1500 for closed.

If it was not for a couple of mountain passes I would have attempted to drive it home.
