I don't have a place to keep a trailer and im not going to rent one just to have it parked for who knows how long every time I want to take a trip..
why not ride it.?? this always cracks me up as the guys that make these statements are usually in a warmer climate
to start off and traveling a couple hundred miles as opposed to 1100 miles one way
today it is currently 29° and snowing from here to VA with 3-4" and ice on top of that.. many times it has been beautiful
for the trip down only to have heavy snow and ice for the trip back so why take chances..
I will use one of the purpose built ramps from discount ramps or similar
https://www.discountramps.com/motorcycle_ramps/p/MF-12038/
that is designed for loading and unloading bikes by one person
so getting it in and out wont be a problem and my main question was to those that have done it
as I was curious what I can expect from the handling
