Road Trip!
04/18/12 at 06:12:18

I just committed to buy a 2007 S40 with only 260 miles on it. It is a 12 hour trip from Kentucky to New York to pick up the bike.....and I will probably drive up on a Friday and back on Saturday.

I will be taking a small enclosed trailer that I haul my trials motorcycle in. The trailer is 48" tall, 39" wide, and 8 foot long inside. I imagine I will have to take off the mirrors to make the bike fit inside. Can anyone tell me how tall and long the S40 is? The bike owner is currently not at home and cannot measure the bike for me.

Here is a picture of my "rig".

I bought the trailer from a fellow that hauled "show rabbits" all over the country. The good news is the rabbits were in cages and the floor was pretty clean when I got it.

They were Netherland Dwarfs. The funny thing was the little stickers in the shape of a bunny that he put on the side of the trailer when he would wi a trophy.....kind of like the little airplane stickers when a pilot makes a "kill". It took me hours to peel the hundreds of stickers off the side of the trailer.

Good one! You guys are sharp!

I was going to leave the sticker that he had placed on the back that read "CAUTION - SHOW RABBITS"....I figured that would pretty much keep the thieves from breaking into the trailer.
