I thought the service costs scared you away? Does this mean you're coming through town?

Did scare me, but after talking to a few local shops, it's not as bad as I expected. I can stagger the services (especially if I start now), so that things like the Desmo service have less items requiring attention.

And I'm having it shipped back. Honestly can't beat the price of shipping, so she will be dropped off in an enclosed trailer.

Who is doing the shipping? I work next door to a motorcycle dealer, and one company hauls for a lot of outfits. Aside from what the dealer has, there's a rolling bike show a couple times a week. I'll keep an eye out for yours.
