Leave the bike behind. Its obviously not a big part of your life. Have you looked into weather or not its economically feasible to ship your bike separately from all your stuff? ---

^you’re out of your mind. I’m thinking that I can make it work. 6x12 might be tight, but I’ll stack dressers, and Ill layer the clothes on top of the motorcycle. It’ll be fun lol. I just hope theres tie downs in the right places in a u haul trailer for the bike. (in either FRONT corner. ya know? ---

what is the cost for driving it down there? and leaving it as oppose to driving having someone else drive it back. I don’t mind a solo mission back to NY… if I can spend a week in florida ---

I have 2 co-drivers lined up, thanks for the offer. You dont have a truck anyway do you? The cost to drive down with a trailer is going to be minimal compared to renting a big truck and paying for gas on a truck that i hate anyway. and diesel and marino have to come too btw. lol ---

dont know if it was said yet… but why not buy one you can find them all over for cheep … for 400-500 and then sell it when you get down there or even spend the grand buying one and get your money back selling it ---

FWIW try to avoid towing with a pickup that doesn’t have a cap on the bed, or at least use an SUV. I towed the Uhaul 6 x 12 from Buffalo to SC in a S10 size pickup, and My MPGs were around 8 mpg. I used this same truck to tow an open trailer that was heavier all day long at about 18-20 mpg. Also I couldn’t even hit 75mph without dropping to about 4 mpg. It sucked having to stop eleventy billion times to get gas. X… ---

Palm beach florida. I have access now to a 14 foot or 17 ft uhaul for around 500 bucks. I’m thinking I cant beat that. That might be the best way to go about this. And i can bring the malibu if I pay an extra 70 for a car dolly. hmm decisions. I wish the malibu would just sell. ---
