Okay we have found an aircraft capable of carrying the weight, all we need to do is book it in, unfortunately we need to charter the whole plane to handle the weight :facepalm:

What is REALLY sad, is that I know this is too small for you!

If anything, it's a bit on the tall side for me. It actually looks about as tall as I'm willing to try. Anything with a standover height much more than 30 inches has me singing soprano.

Considering the price, I was pretty sure it was a tank, but because I have the storage space available, I'd still be interested in it for its quirky uniqueness. I have a few e-stays that are tanks, including a Claridge Sierra Madre and a Roadmaster Power Trac (same as the Sears Free Spirit e-stay) that are in exquisite condition (probably because their owners quickly tired of riding an overweight, under-performing PoS and just parked it). They have value to me as collectibles simply because of their rarity, and they also appealed to me because I got them for not much more than a song. Granted, they're probably made of pig-iron and lead, and maybe I'll have to book that flight just to get them moving forward, but the collector in me can't ignore them when they cost so little. In fact, I'm sure that shipping costs would outweigh the cost of the bike in this case.

Maybe we should start a "Crap e-stay" thread.....in fact, I think I just did.
