Olympia dealership is selling 2020 new R3 ABS for $5755 otd. It is kind of far for me. I am hoping a dealership down here will come close to that deal. |

What’s the dealership name? You might be able to ge them to deliver it to you for a small price. You can also rent a u-haul and pick it up yourself. If not, then I can ask people within my riding group if there’s someone willing to help deliver it to you. You are in Vancouver, WA. Correct? Sent via iPhone |

A U-Haul trailer is only $15 to rent. It's awesome. I brought my last bike down from Seattle on one.

To add to this, Uhaul trucks kind of suck for hauling a bike. The wooden rails along the walls are more for keeping items off the shell of the truck and not built for strapping things down. If you strap a bike to them they may break. I've made custom wheel chock setups when using a UHaul truck when I have to (like when also pulling a car), but the trailer is definitely the way to go.

I hauled my bike from Southern Oregon with a Uhaul trailer. I agree it worked well, with a good design and the proper straps and a steal of a price. You need a hitch though, if I remember correctly.

I got an agreeable deal on a new 2020 R3 at the local dealership and purchased it today. They will deliver for free. I cannot wait to hit the parking lot and start practicing!! I do not have a vehicle with a tow hitch. Thanks everyone for offering help and ideas. Portland dealers never replied back with a concrete number. |

I finally have a bike in my garage! Is this battery tender the right one to get for my bike? Thank you! https://photos.app.goo.gl/zUsqQWFdH9vnbyfx7 https://photos.app.goo.gl/pw5RV2GcCm426SJy6 Edited by SlimJim on Feb 18th 2021 at 08:27 PM |

I was hoping you wouldn't get the ugly teal/orange version. I've always loved Yamaha Blue.

Note that you still don't want to leave it in the rain or let the plug lie in a puddle, but under an eave or perched on the tire under a fender is fine. |
