i'm sure this has been addressed but a friend is emptying his storage building and gave me a X1 in very good shape but it is in Arkansas and I am in West Virginia.My buddy picked it up but I need to get it shipped to West Virginia.I could use some suggestions on how to get it here.Thanks. |

Forward air. I've used them twice with no problems. |

Does it run? Arkansas is not all that far from WV. Fly and ride? |

Fresh plugs, fresh gas, Gumout & air for the tires. Fresh dyna filter and oil. Hunt out the mice nests. ( the quarter car wash does a good job on nests ) A saddle bag of tools, a fine fall day, the certainty that you will be rained upon, the promise of clean sheets and a willingness to stop and rest, check for leaks, and smell the flowers in the hills. Go for it. ( take breaks for fluids to avoid dehydration, Every gas stop a stretch and a drink. Stop for a motel before the deer fill the roads at twilight, and try local diners & dives for a chance at awesome. ) |

This got my hopes up, I was about to take a day off and go pick it up. You and me both. Proximity would have determined the winner. |

A quote from somewhere: "The only thing more costly than a cheap motorcycle is a free motorcycle" But yeah, I would be all over that! |
