Should I ride to Texas?

I will be moving to Texas at the end of the month from Tennessee and have to figure out how I'm getting there. I have the opportunity to throw the bike on a trailer headed that way this weekend but then I have no way to get there and the smallest uhaul is going to be over $700. Or I can throw my clothes and a few odds and ends on the trailer and ride the bike down at the end of the month. It's a 15hr drive but I figure I can take two full days to get there. I think it would be awesome to ride the bike out but I've never been on that big of a ride. What would you do?

I'd ride but that just me.

I've always ridden when going to Texas. While it can be done in a day, taking two or three makes it a lot more fun.

Yes.

Where do you live?

Knoxville

I always wanted to ride cross country so I vote yes. But you can ship it. I shipped a bike from Texas to Ohio using forward air. I also shipped a few bikes with U-ship. You could probably get it there for a lot less then $700.

Ride. See my response in OT.

I rode from San Antonio, Texas on a Honda 150 non stop to Pinehurst, N.C.. It rained most of the trip. Burned a hole in a cylinder with about an hour to go. I won't say it was fun but I lived.

You know, isn't "riding to Texas" a prime reason to own a Harley? Like that statement should be in the company's vision statement.

Ride, weather permitting.

In reply to pres589:

Nah, that's to somewhere in South Dakota......

I'd personally ride if it was 50+ degrees out.....then again, I'm convinced my 10 is more comfortable than open Harleys.

Just do the it, take your time, stop relatively often, and just enjoy the ride.

What city are you moving to?

Temple/Waco area. The boss has decided to fly me out in a couple weeks, loading the bike on the trailer today.

I was going to say ride. But, looks like your boss took the decision out of our hands. Still, I think that doing a long ride on a bike will let you learn things about your self. Don't ride until you're ready to fall off, take plenty of breaks to stretch and refuel. And good luck in what sounds like a new position.
