I have no problem whatsoever with him shipping the scoot or trailers. Both very good reasons above.

It was the type of carrier choice I have a problem with. We may be the only private business other then the carrier terminals it visited (and I guarantee it saw a few terminal docks/trailers) and if so he was lucky in that I made sure it had a very safe visit and re-load to the trailer.

I wasn't really dissing him. If me and me bike were in Alaska, headed to Az, I'd probably ship it too. That would be one long COLD ride to the sun. I hope it works out for him.

When I did my Europe adventure in 1988 we ran across a great bunch of riders celebrating Bastille day in France and we got invited to go along . Being a couple of american's on the only harley's on their run was a big thing for these people and we had huge fun for a couple days . At they end they tried to give me the longest mile trophy and I had to turn it down for the same reasons , I found the guy who had rode over the Alp's from southern Italy and made the show of passing it to him those mountains are no joke that early in the year .

You would be suprised to know how many bikes get their first trip in the air. When the Vrod came first came out, many of them were shipped via major airlines as freight. I unloaded and loaded many of them in Atlanta. There for a while I would see at least 20 a day going out west through Atlanta.
