Back in 1994 on September 30, I drove all night to pick up my bike that morning 2 states over. My buddy Chuck stepped up and drove me from eastern NY to New Hampshire - after a short nap we went to get it at the dealers first thing in the morning. I took it over to the insurance office and picked up my policy, drove it over to DMV got the tags/reg/and legal. Rode it like i stole back to NY w/ chuck in the chase car. Short version.
Still have that bike - 94 Road King w/ a ton of great adventures.

Keep the rubber side down,
