First Converson
Hello all, I just bought a 2004 new flyer flexible bus from gov deals.com. This is the start of my retirement. So far I have my wife, bus, Harley, boxer named Abigale, fishing pole, six pack of beer and a liter of Crown. Let me know if I missed anything please. Vernon

Welcome to the site Vernon.

While you've got a way to go to getting it converted, it sounds like you've got the "basics" covered!

Good luck, and post pics when you actually get into the conversion process...

Start with this:

Then switch the crown for sazerac, and the harley with a R1250GS that should set you up...... Warm welcome and congratulations.
