I'm in much the same boat as Tinker John except he's now (presumably) on his trip and ours isn't until next spring/summer. The other difference is that I/we'll need something for six or seven weeks rather than three so renting is not really economically feasible, especially as we're looking at using a GoldWing (it's a post ironic conceptualistic retro tour :confused1:  . We set off when I figure out what that means  ) and they run about $150 / day.
I suppose there may be some east coast dealers open to a sell and buy back deal but I have a typically Pavlovian response to having anything to do with dealers - once bitten, twice shy is probably the mildest way of putting it. Ziloc seems a little light on peer to peer bike rentals so I guess buying from Craigs List or something like that is probably our best bet - unless you know different. Suggestions, hints, tips etc gratefully received but stuff like "use a Harley / BMW / why the fvck do you want one of those" won't be much help. I may be the one at the controls but my dear other half is the one in the driving seat
Oh, and a p.s. - if pirate outfits and eye patches are de rigeur with Harleys, what's the look of the moment with Wings - zimmer frames, blue rinses, ear trumpets?
