Yeah, i'm beginning to agree with you guyz...
I took the wife to NC and the dragon ride this month, and because of her surgery, we loaded the bike in the back of my truck.
I won't say it was more enjoyable than my savage ride from florida to texas... but it was less.. "eventful".
Now as I am not a young man (younger than a few here), but not an old man, I can still ride 800 miles in a day if I so deem necessary (there will be pain involved, but riding pain to me is a good pain).
However, if I was to put a trailer on the back of my truck, I could (pick-up) gather a few older riders and enjoy conversation while we traversed to our destination, rather than spit bugs and laugh while pointing at irrelevant things on the side of the road, and enjoying the smells of road kill.
In other words.... I would not be adverse to borrowing a large trailer, or renting such, in order to enjoy a long and comfortable journey with a few of you guys on the next (youz guyz) texas run.
I will look into finding such a rig, that will hold a few (six) bikes.
