No more than an hour or two, otherwise gas costs wouldn't be worth it. ;)

Wow, that's a sweet deal! :lol:

If I rode up to get it on my PCX, it would cost me less than $140 in gas... I could camp it and eat normal food, not adding any cost there... But I would probably use a set of tires along the way ($120 or more). Damn, and I'd need 3 weeks. :P

I haven't seen any on Craigslist around here for cheap anyways, I've been looking too. :(
