Little help needed.

Postby Adventurer » Thu May 03, 2018 4:27 pm

Good day....

Fair weather member as I’m usually hanging out in Maine, though both my children live in Mc Lean/Arlington area respectfully.

So, meandering back to Maine from a trip to Florida, stopped off to see the kids and grandchildren for a day or so, hope to leave Saturday. Before hitting the museums, we’ll I went and purchased a 2001 R 1200 C in D.C. NE. My issues if you haven’t figured it out is getting it back to ME. I’m reaching out if any members might be able to store this for a short time until I can get back to Maine and make arrangements to fly back and pick it up. In the meantime I’ll try to locate a transport company (though rather ride it back). I’m currently in the McLean area. Please call or text 239-322-0305 or leave response hereif any member is in a position to help out. Thinking fly back into Regan.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Richard, Congrats on the new toy. How long are you looking for someone to store the bike? I live in Va. out I-66 past Manassas. But for what it is worth I had a bike shipped from Charleston, SC to NoVa and it was less than $500 door to door.

An "out of the box" option.
You could list the bike on https://www.riders-share.com/ for a one way rental. Why pay to ship it when someone might pay you to ride it?
