Jesse Bus Road Show

Old bus

There are those people out there that know that I’m not just a bike nut, I’m also a bus nut. I have owned, converted and lived in a bus for almost 16 years (before Julie). My first bus was a 1960 Greyhound PD4104 with 3.5 million miles on it. Yep, that was 3.5 MILLION miles. I used it to live in mainly, but also traveled a great deal in it. Some of you have seen it at a few rallies in the past. These Urban Assault Vehicles are truly a passion and labor of love.

New Bus

Our new project is a 1964 Greyhound PD 4106. Basically is has the same monocoque chassis as the old bus, but comes with a bigger motor. The biggest difference between the two is that the new bus has only 200,000 original miles. Stored for more than 25 years, this bus is a rare find. (The man I bought it from has another bus of the same vintage with 5.5 million miles, so this bus has a long way to go!)

Converting a bus is like building a small home. You have to design the space before you build and plan, plan, plan! This bus will hold both of our bikes in the garage space, with plenty of room for products for the rallies. Our living space will be up front, and will include a bedroom, small bath, kitchen and living room. We are building it ourselves in our spare time so it will be an ongoing project this year. Occasionally we will put updated pictures here so you can see the progress we are making!

We plan on traveling to the rallies this year in the bus. We will have spare parts with us to service our current customers and displays to entice new customers! So if you see us going down the road, give us a honk! We probably have a cold one in the fridge!
