    How Far Would You Go?

    Here is one for the group? How far would you go or have you gone to buy a motorcycle that you felt was a great deal?

    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.

    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.

    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.
    ITS ALL GOOD

    Went to Wisc. for a 99 Valkyrie Interstate with 18000 miles a few years ago.
    Luckily had a member of VRCC go look at it first,man got to love it when you can get eyes on
    it first. Cost at time to ship was 500 bucks. Was such a good deal that the cost to get it to
    Maryland was worth it.me on interstate.jpg
