How Far Away Was Your Bike???

The first 06 YZ I had was 4 whole miles from my apartment to Kasson Yamaha... BUT I don't know if it can be counted because I had to haul it to my wifes house 20mi away to store it there because of where I lived.(before we were married and just "friends")

Furthest was when I traded my ZX10 for the Motard at about 1AM in the middle of BFE... 252mi away. That sucked. Didn't get home till almost 4am, and felt like a creep driving around with a motorcycle in the back of truck that late at night. Ya I had all the paperwork but honestly, it's in the wee hours of the morning, I'm tired, I'm pissed, I have to piss and the last thing I wanted to do was explain why I had a motorcycle in my truck to a cop who pulled me over because hes bored.

Needless to say I'm not a fan of traveling to get a bike. I'll wait and find a deal locally or I won't bother. There's no point in saving $1000 over the phone and using $1000 in gas to go get it only to possibly find out it either doesn't exist or a dealer wants to rape me on unspoken charges. I know it isn't always the case, but there isn't a bike in existence that is worth it to me.
