I am back with my new bike.  The trip was an adventure......and although I probably made a mistake by buying a bike so far away from home......it is a nice bike and I don't regret having done it.  I traveled a total distance of 1,400 miles, paid $ 50 in bridge and highway tolls, $ 200 in gas, and it took a bit more than 2.5 days.

On the way up I stopped at a place called Bills Old Bike Barn.  The place is filled with old motorcycle and other stuff......only $ 5 for a visit and well worth the money.  It is located along I-80 in Bloomsburg, PA and a good way to spend an hour or more stretching your legs.  Here is a link to the site where you can take a virtual tour: www.billsbikebarn.com

The bike is in great shape an only has 265 mile on it.  It has a Supertrapp muffler installed, and I really have not had a chance to ride it more than up and down the block - hopefully I will get to do that today.  Here is the bike with the original owner seated just before we loaded it up.

I pretty much knew this on the way in......but leaving New York on a Friday afternoon at 4:30 is not a very good idea.  It took me almost 4 hours to get out of New York City.  I only went about 23 miles in the first 3 hours of driving.  Once I got out I drove until about 11:00 and spent the night sleeping next to my new bike in my enclosed trailer.
