[QUOTE="Eagle Six, post: 1379393, member: 90552"] This year so far I have made three rent-n-ride's. They were rather short, 220 mile, 250 mile and a 330 mile to pick up an FJR1300A, VFR800A and ZX14. I used Enterprise and they all worked out well. Back in 2008, I sold an ST1300A to a fly-n-ride buyer. He flew from the Tampa area to Phoenix. We had several phone conversations with me feeding him dimensions of the side cases, as well as, the extra goodies that went with the bike. I picked him up at Sky Harbor Intl Airport and he had two hard suit cases and a smaller soft case. He arrived with all his riding gear including summer gear, rain gear and cold weather gear, helmet, and a bunch of chargers and electronics. Everything he brought for the trip back fit in the bike side bags and we strapped the soft bag on as a tail bag. All the extras I included we packed in his 2 hard suit cases. He departed late that afternoon and I ran along with him for the first 100 miles or so. The next day I dropped his suit cases off at UPS and he had a neighbor accept them in Tampa. His planned route home included a few stops in Indiana, Chicago, somewhere along the east coast before his home in Florida. Spoke with him a few weeks later when he reported his trip was a success. It was a lot of planning, but was a great example of 'planning pays off'. [/QUOTE]
