Author Message   Nm5150 Posted on Monday, September 04, 2017 - 05:55 pm:        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.   Hootowl Posted on Monday, September 04, 2017 - 06:17 pm:        Forward air. I've used them twice with no problems.   Hootowl Posted on Monday, September 04, 2017 - 06:19 pm:        Does it run? Arkansas is not all that far from WV. Fly and ride?   Crusty Posted on Monday, September 04, 2017 - 07:48 pm:        What does a 1990 X1 look like?   1313 Posted on Monday, September 04, 2017 - 08:06 pm:        Damn good question John! Was wondering myself. Can't wait to see pics...   Hootowl Posted on Monday, September 04, 2017 - 08:37 pm:        Probably look looks exactly like a typo   Froggy Posted on Monday, September 04, 2017 - 09:29 pm:        This got my hopes up, I was about to take a day off and go pick it up.   Aesquire Posted on Monday, September 04, 2017 - 09:57 pm:        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. )   Crusty Posted on Monday, September 04, 2017 - 11:27 pm:        Fresh plugs, fresh gas, Gumout & air for the tires.

You and me both. Proximity would have determined the winner.   Damnut Posted on Tuesday, September 05, 2017 - 12:07 am:        Uship.com. had good results using them.   Zac4mac Posted on Tuesday, September 05, 2017 - 04:12 am:        I used Haul Bikes to get a Westwind from Maryland to Colorado a year ago. $750 (Message edited by zac4mac on September 05, 2017)   Buellish Posted on Tuesday, September 05, 2017 - 08:05 am:        I road my new to me S3T home from Newburyport,Mass back in 2014.It was a really good way to get to know the bike.   Natexlh1000 Posted on Tuesday, September 05, 2017 - 10:18 am:        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!   Damnut Posted on Tuesday, September 05, 2017 - 10:23 am:        I used Uship to have my SX delivered from Virginia to Massachusetts for $300.   Airbozo Posted on Tuesday, September 05, 2017 - 11:42 am:        Haul Bikes got my '09 XB12R from Missouri to Norcal for $450.
