Bye-bye Bushtec

The last tour with the Bushtec turbo :-(
...and pictures of the second one, a Turbo II and the NEWEST one.. a Genesis :-)

The Bushtec Turbo had to be sold to get fonds to buy a new one for the summer vacation in the USA. The buyer had arranged a friend to bring it home to Troendelag and I would meet him in Egersund where he should drive in a sprint race for cars.
The day was lovely for this 100 mile trip, so I had to find a good place to take the last photos of the PC 800 with the Bushtec Turbo

And here it is ready for loading into his bus. I'll hope that Bjoern Arve with his GoldWing will enjoy it as much as I have done !!

The first picture of the New 1996 Bushtec Turbo +2, bought in Alabama, USA

After it was painted , not exactly 100 % match to 1989 PC 800 colors, I sold it in June 2002. Why ?.... because I found this one for sale on a auction site in Germany and bought it and collected it there in July 2002....

a 1998 model Bushtec Genesis, "the Lexus of trailers"

this one is a bit larger than the Turbo II, but sleeker and I think it fits the shape of the PC 800 better.

It is nice in 98 Honda GW Candy Spectra Red too and a close match to the 90 PC 800 color... I have now also installed a small remote controled air-pump so I can adjust the wheels camber on the fly from the saddle :-)

In April 2011 I won 1st Price in a Bushtec Photo Contest with this picture..Taken by Leland Sheppard, CA on a tour near Voss, Norway:
