This is not my bike just passing on some info, I hope this is the right place for it. Now if I did have the money it would be mine.

I've emailed him a second time now requesting more pics. If it seems worth the deal (cost of getting it home included) then I will be making a road trip to Maine.Current Stable:

That has crossed my mind! But I have a bit of a phobia about jumping on a used bike I know nothing about and hoping it gets me home.

I did it. Flew from Baltimore to St. louis and some puddle jumper out to Tennessee. Quite a rush riding along thinking wtf am I doing, I don't even know if this will make it home. 900 or so miles...Originally posted by TheFrugalTech View PostThat has crossed my mind!

Hi Frugal,Originally posted by TheFrugalTech View PostThat has crossed my mind! But I have a bit of a phobia about jumping on a used bike I know nothing about and hoping it gets me home.
I am sure glad I took a trailer to get mine ( 400miles)
Take a buddy and you can ride some of the way home while he tries to keep up in th tank

My tank is a 2000 E150 full size conversion van with the raised top. Great road for road trips but that 5.4 Triton motor loves the gas. Personalized tag reads "RD YACHT".
Pulled a 7x14 trailer last year with 3 bikes and had 7 passengers inside the van along with everything for a 3 day weekend. I'm sure we were 10K-12K lbs total. I got a whopping 8MPG that 700 mile trip.
But, if it is me and the wife, our 2 girls, and just one bike, I still get around 14MPG.
Our Malibu is getting a hitch soon. It should be able to handle an XS on a light weight trailer and still get 20MPG or better. It hits 36MPG+ on the highway with the 4 of us in it not towing.Current Stable:
