It will fit in the truck but 6 hrs is about 300 miles give or take so it would be a great break in.On a new bike 6 hrs will fly by quickly too!

I agree loading and unloading the trailer would be much easier. Less risk that way.

Dude. Do what I did. I purchased a bike 300 miles away. I rented a car with a one way travel. Cost me $75. Dropped the car off, had the dealer pick me up and rode home. Turned out to be one of the best rides through big sky county.

Bought my first one about 50 miles from home. Rode the long way home, about 100 miles. Doesn't sound like much but it was in February and was 27 degrees. I LOVED every minute of it. Stopped a couple of times for coffee. My a$$ was killing me on the stock seat but wouldn't trade it for a thing. Heck, make it an adventure. Rent a Motel half way home, something fun.

If you simply must haul it, do what you need to do to use the trailer. I wouldn't haul it in my truck unless I absolutely had to.

when I bought my 06 StreetGlide I put mine on the back of a toyota tundra it was a 200 mile ride give or take I could really cared less what anyone said I picked it up with one of my friends drove home in the nice cold a/c cab we talked crap and it was a perfect drive. We got it down in my house when we returned and it was very easy with my brothers ramps for his gixxer 1000..

Default Just got in...

I decided to take the trailer ...
Went out and put it in the garage and made up some flat reanforcement plates for the bed of the trailer and installed 4 , 5,000 lb. tie down swivals //
I figured it would give me a hard time espesialy when I,m in a hurry ...
Trying to get a few hrs sleep . 5 am will come early for me ..AARRGGHH ..
Absalutly would drive it home if I had the choice .
Dont worry she will be ridden and pampered .. LOLL.........
i,L GET pics asap... I,ll be home late tommmorow......
Thanks for the compliments.....Ride safe ....
