casulty of steer tire blowout

crossed divider ended up in oposide side gully and rolled against the bank

totaled by insurance company although I have seen them fix worse.

2004 model I think

Would have to check on brakes, pretty sure it is ABS

Series 60 pretty sure

Drum brakes in the J model, me thinks.

Discs in the high brow E model.

lots have those automated ZF 10 and 12 speed transmissions. Great for fuel economy.

happy coaching!

I am not sure this post was worth the time - with NO details as to location, price, contacts it is worthless. Why post it??

The original poster is a broker, my guess is he wanted to see if there was enough interest to make it worthwhile to buy it & resell it to a busnut to make some fast cash the easy way with minimal to no risk.

Seems odd that he did not post any more details or contact info . . .  :-\

;D  ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D

Since when is knowledge a prerequisite for posting?  ;D
Besides, I did say I was guessing.  :o

Completely wrong? ???  So, what did you mean when you told me you were a broker (in a prior discussion)?

When a posting is so lacking in details, readers are left to fill in the gaps.  I must have gotten confused by the fish someone brought for lunch.  Obviously, my BSP is lacking.  :o


So, why the mystery with the location of this fine piece of machinery is & who one contacts if they were interested?  ::)
Oh great takebird, please share with us lowly & ignorant inquisitors more details of this great bus.  ;)  ;D

That drive train would sure be a nice upgrade for one of mine  ;D
But without knowing more details concerning location, price, & direct contact info . . . I ain't gonna take it seriously or even consider it. But that's just my opinion. . . .

BTW, it seems that pointing others to 'deals' isn't against board rules . . . . Unless you are involved in selling it . . . . .

Hi Kyle,

You are right on target with being left to assume. Some of these threads are crossing the line and we are working on a new set

of rules on the Mods board to avoid conflicts like this. Unfortunately, this summer has robbed me of time spent on the bbs.

Come Sept./Oct. I will put new guidelines in place. Until then, please bear with me and maybe point out some concerns that may arise.

Thanks
Nick-
