How Far have you driven to pick up a bike

Once drove 540 miles to pickup what was a pretty special bike to me at the time.

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

I agree that pic is cool- it's the picture that was used by the auction co, and noted as an "old bike", at the very end of the auction listing. Pretty much went under the radar, but the people in the area were stunned by the price it brought. The original owner's widow had the auction, she was in her 90's- bike had sat there in that barn for more than 60 years, remarkable condition really, seat didn't even have one rip in it.

I did the 5 hour drive to Monrovia to pick up a white 60 fairlady.gave me an excuse to hit the cyclonecoaster ride while down there.
Mike had to be going 100 mph to get here in 4 hours,but that Monark was worth any speeding ticket you might have gotten.LOL.
