I took a greyhound bus from Orlando Florida to Mississippi to buy mine and ride it home.... 700 miles.
Bought brand new 2013 in sept 2014.
Buying new long distance is one thing.... buying used is something you never really know to you get there.
Bought a BMW K1300S in Detroit used with 2K miles and road it back to New Orleans in 2 days while the ink was still wet on the paper work.
Never regretted that decision or the ride.
Moved up the F6 and still have that smile on my face.
Went to Schroaders Honda in NC not so much for the deal as for the model (2014 Goldwing Navi XM ABS converted to F6B) and rode it home October 8 2016 during Hurricane Matthew.'gw-smiley'
Also got to test the ABS on the way home. Damn Cagers!
Not very far compared to others. I only went 200 miles to make a deal.
After making a deal over the phone.
I rented a u-haul drive home loaded vtx in it and drove 82 miles to buy a bike never test drove.then trucked back and returned u-haul. Then waited till spring to ride it.
Still happy with purchase!
In March of this year I drove 600 miles to pick up an 81 CB750 for my son. I fortunatly was able to have a fellow member check out the bike prior to that little adventure (thanks again Steven). Used the sellers table lift, pushed the bike right into the bed of my truck, and headed back home.
Flew from Butte, Mt to Dallas to buy a Valkyrie and rode it back home via Cali, over 4,000 miles in 2013 and still have the bike
Depends on the deal. People will do desperate things for happiness.
I have had people come from very long distances to buy my bikes. And I thought they were crazy.
Then I did it a couple times.
The adventure is in the journey my friend.
Ride like you love it.
