be sure and wear your helmet inside the tow vehicle...that way people will know that you plan on riding it soon. just let the air out of one tire, and every one will think you are going in for repairs and plan on being back "in the wind" quickly. no need to be ashamed--don't wave at any body and they will think you are pissed that your bike broke down.

You know when you're on the bike you hold out two fingers symbolizing the v-twin, it's a bit more difficult when you're driving the truck. You have to roll the window down all the way, hold the steering wheel with your knee and with both hands out the window use 8 fingers meshed together in the shape of a V-8. By the time you get that all sorted out, the bikes are long gone, and your wife thinks you've gone loonie toons.
