Shipping rates have fallen through the floor, so there is a saving to be made there.

Do you mind if I ask how much? And how long did it take? And how much could you do in two weeks (while granny has the kids).

4. Two years or more of 1200cc and up riding experience

So long as you've had your full license for two years how the hell can they prove what you've been riding here? I have had a 1200 Bandit for 5 years, just sold it a few months back to pay for the holiday

Wow, sounds fantatstic, if I could make one suggestion though, why not go NYC to San Fran then head south down the Pacific coast highway to L.A, it,ll only add a couple of days to your journey and it its truely one of the great riding roads of the world.

The road that goes all the way down the coast of Cali is another good run , it will be like playing "Outrun" the arcade game but in real life , slight distraction of barely covered lady bottoms though ........................ "Hmmmmm nice As...............screeeeeeech"
