How Far have you driven to pick up a bike

[schwinnguyinohio]

I thought it would be neat to see how far people have drove just to pick up a bike,not finding one while away on vacation.Mine so far is 2 1/2 hours which I know will be easily beat.

42 hrs. has got to be a winner. I drove 1022 miles (about 18 hrs round trip) in August to pick up this '39 DX from my buddy Ozark Flyer.

Good Lord you guys are dedicated to the hobby! I drove 4hrs to Vegas to pick up this beauty that traveled inside a Chevy panel truck on a car carrier from Chicago.

And just under 5hrs up to Modesto,CA to pick up my girl's '39 Monark 4Bar

2200 miles. Nick won a '40 Huffman big tank in a barn auction across the country- that he wasn't expecting to win.
We didn't trust it being handled and shipped by non-experts, plus the area was so rural there were no bike shops around anyway, so we had to go pick it up!

The picture in the barn of the Huffman all covered in dust is awesome!
