1055 Miles, on two wheels
So my father turned 68 this year. I thought it would be a nice gift to give him my tractor lawn mower and a few other items that I knew he could use that I simply no longer needed. The main issue was getting the tractor to him.. I mean this thing aint small and I no longer have a truck.. I decided the best bet would be to rent a truck and haul it to him.. It’s a thousand mile trip from my home in Texas to his in Tennissee and I didn’t really look forward to that drive in that truck.. I certainly didn’t want to make it twice! So I also loaded up my Motorcycle with the plan of riding it back.
First to the truck; I rented a Penske 16′ truck and told the lady on the phone what I wanted to do. She didn’t seem to care, even though once I got the truck they label on the wall said no gasoline powered vehicles.. *shrug* I told her what I was planning to do, so as far as I was concerned I was okayed to do it.. The mower was out of gas anyway and the motorcycle had very little in it.. I think their intent was to keep you from causing a fire and that was my intent too, so all was well..
