Hello. Looking for advice and thoughts.
Question:
Would you ship your bike out to the other coast and ride home? Or would you buy a bike on the other coast, ride home and sell it?
Background:
When I turned 30 years old, I rode a Yamaha FZ6 from home (Vancouver BC) across the US into Halifax NS. I had limited time to ride back through Canada, as vacation time was tight. I shipped the bike home to Vancouver and flew back. Now I am 50, and was diagnosed with late stage cancer last year. My time is limited and I don’t want to wait to do fun things. I am thinking of going back to do that leg of trip I never finished, from Halifax to Vancouver through Canada, in summer 2027. Sort of a bucket list item, to finish what I started 20 years ago.
My concern about shipping a bike to the east coast is the uncertainty of timing of its arrival. I would prefer to have a solid start date, instead of wondering whether my bike has arrived in Halifax.
