For the same reason I'll call my insur. co. and add the bike to the policy before I pick it up and why I'll get a temp. trip permit from DMV for the ride home. Also for the same reason I wear a seat belt in a car and a helmet on a bike.

Denis, I've checked a sidearm in my luggage a few times when I was flying somewhere and then going somewhere very remote in a rental or borrowed car. Never been a problem. I even got stopped by the Border Patrol in NM with my .45 in my cup holder. Agent saw it and didn't care at all, just wanted to question my Chinese gf.

I'll email the bike seller about this in a few minutes. I've spoken with him by phone or email just about every day for the last two weeks. Doesn't feel like he's a stranger at all. I was going to fly to Louisville, where he works now, and ride back to NC with him. He's very cool. I just want to be totally upfront about it. Hell, maybe he'll tell me to bring a bunch of ammo and we can shoot beer cans in his yard Sat. night.
