Congrats on the new bike. Ride it if you can.That would make for a good relationship with the new bike.

You could always put it on the trailer, sit on the bike, and have a friend drive the truck. You might think it's funny, but we once had a jet boat that got rode more in the garage than in the lake. The stereo was great, Corona was cold, and it never blew a jet drive in the garage.
Cheers

I didnt have a license or a temps.... so they delivered it. When I got home... I went straight to the garage and there it was...

2 days later... I was riding.

If I had a license....I would've drove it home.

My wife and I drove to a dealer, I picked out my bike. Agreed on a price. Did the paperwork. I wrote them a check.Wife drove the cage home.I rode my bike home. It was about a 35 mile ride, through town, so it was pretty good for break-in, and I did already have my license and had contacted my insurance co the previous day. They said if I bought a bike to just give them a call on Monday, but I would be covered over the weekend. (It was a Saturday when I bought the bike)
