Cross country purchase?

I'm surprised no one has mentioned using a pickup truck to go haul one back yourself. Most dealers have ramps that they will let you use. Or there are various ways to use a $75.00 ramp from Harbor Freight. You just find a incline to use, makes the loading angle much less steep. Might not be cost effective to go across country though. Time wise, gas, motel etc., but a few states away one can easily make the trip in one or two days. If you are a avid motorcyclist a good set of ramps are a great investment. If you have a standard 8'bed truck you can haul just about any bike out there. I just recently drove up to Niagara Falls from the Maryland eastern shore to pick up a CB1100. The wife and I visited the falls and drove back the next day. Very nice little trip. The leaves in the Pennsylvania mountains were near their fall color peak. It was a nice trip. We've done many trips like that picking up bikes. We've picked them up in Mississippi, Georgia, Kentucky, Nebraska, Vermont. It gives you and the wife a excuse to take a little weekend get away.
