Thanks for the good advice guys. I'd have spent money on a cover, probably had it flapping like a sumbitch all the way to Florida and then uncover the bike to reveal some kinda paint damage.
I do have a couple of rolls of that plastic wrap like lumber yards use to bundle stuff up. Maybe a little of that strategically placed will do. Not worried about stone chips too much because the cab of the truck should protect it pretty well. Looks like I go without and just wash it when I get there.

The one thing is to make sure you can get it in and out of the pickup. You want something really cool check out mountain master.com They are in AZ. it is bad *** way to put your bike in your truck. I am going down there when I get my new truck. Best 2 grand I am ever going to spend.

This is a one shot deal. Luckily I've got a spot at home to load it and my friend in Florida has a ramp in his business yard. Normally I haul them in a 7x14 enclosed, but because I'm only using one bike this year I don't want to pay for the fuel to haul the trailer 2600 total miles.

Take your own advise. Load your bike and safely tie it down. Enjoy the drive. And when you get to your destination take a bottle of S100 Total Cycle Cleaner. Spray it on it your bike, rise and dry. It'll be good as new. Kickstands up!
