As some may know, the wife and I are moving to TX later this year to be closer to our son and his family. I was going to trailer my two bikes back there on a one-way rented U-Haul, towed behind the wife's vehicle, a Honda CR-V, which is already set up for it. Knowing she would not want to drive/tow the trailer, I was going to drive, and she will drive my car, a Honda Accord Coupe. It's a two-day haul to Ft.Worth, with an overnight stop in El Paso. Then, I got to thinking, why transport two bikes back there? I thought I'd just sell both bikes here in SoCal and eliminate the hassles of transporting two relatively common bikes to TX. Living in SoCal has its advantages; there are more cars, bikes, airplanes and boats for sale here than in any other major metropolis in the US. When I sold my sailboat five years ago, I was getting emails from Australia, New Zealand, and Hawaii. Surely, I could replace the Honda in TX, right? Just for sh!ts and giggles, I went on craigslist Dallas and searched for a Honda CB1100. NOT ONE! There were a few BMWs, but not one Honda CB1100. I searched the whole state, not one. Now I'm thinking I will transport the Honda halfway across the country, especially since I have it pretty much setup like I want it.
