RE: trailer the bike,or drive it home?
As soon as you get it outside ride it over to your trailer and gently place your front tire to it. Next, stand up and straddle the bike, give 'er a little throttle and gently release the clutch until the rear tire begins to spin, then OPEN 'ER UP WIDE ARSS OPEN UNTIL YOU CAN'T SEE THAT STUPID TRAILER! Break in period done. Now, RIDE IT HOME!

Pipe is exactly right! Go north to 180 & come across. It's a really nice road with VERY little traffic.
Enjoy the ride & get some of those break-in miles out of the way!

You have to be kidding. The weather is perfect. I-20 isnt a problem, kinda straight and boring but sometimes thats the best ride. Im riding to Lubbock from Weatherford on Wednesday and back Thrusday. Ride that sucker! And you'll have no problems with break in. You'll rembember the first ride the rest of your life. If you trailer it, you are gonna kick yourself in the a** the rest of your life!
