Really, for what you'll pay for transport you should ride it back.

As long as you have riding experience already, and can get the time off, go for it.

Why not just get a uhual and pick it up yourself?

A U-haul actually isn't a bad idea. I didn't think of that. They actually have motorcycle trailers that you can rent for like 15 bucks a day

yeah i thought about u-haul too but i dont have a truck and renting a moving truck for that long is expensive even before gas gets figured into it.

its starting to look like a road trip is in my future.
