Say what ?? I can't imagine "gotta take the trailer to get it home, its 130 miles away." Maybe there is more to this than I see from here.

So if I just drive over in the truck and happen to pick one out, then how would I get the bike and truck home without the trailer....

I guess he expects you to walk the 130 miles then ride back. Simply mention a touring bike and a trailer in the same sentence around here and the chest thumping iron butt I'll ride in any temperature, hurricane force winds and torrential downpour crowd goes nuts!

Good luck and enjoy your new bike.....driving back with an empty trailer would be crazy!

Yeah, not an easy task! You must be close to Longview or Tyler judging from the miles. I was going to guess Bossier city before you said Dallas. In a few short months, I'll be residing near Hallsville.

Just leave your truck there. Ride it home. After the wife gets free, hop on the bike and ride up there and have her drive the truck home. A great way to get some break in miles on the new ride. So what color are you gettin" ?

Just south of Tyler, out here on Lake Palestine...

Man this is a tough crowd over here in the Touring section about useing a Trailer for anything. lol But hey guys I'm really proud my custom bike trailer, Plus it gives me a chance to turn the wheels on it as it just sits there 99% of the time.

heavymetalthunder, I'm not sure on a color yet, I am a sucker for Black & Chrome bike big time. Just have to see...

It also could mean that they think they already have you sold on a bike and might not give you that great of a deal on it.

I've took a trailer and 3 dealers watched me leave used bikes at 15K over a $500. difference, they thought it was sold too.
This dealer knows he has the selection, not wether you're a buyer.

You dont want all those break in miles droning away on the highway anyhow man....you have plenty of backroads to quick slap 600-1000 miles on in a few weekends, then take her out for the long hauls knowing she was broke in proper....
