Well, here's the shake . . . I purchased an 2011 FXDC about 2 weeks ago from a dealer in northern New Hampshire, got storage included with the deal. I knew it was a possibility, but wasn't sure it was going to happen - but I was offered a job that I can't refuse (its like playing in the NFL w/a playoff team in my profession - for sure!) in San Antonio Texas. I just moved here to NH from Houston at the beginning of Sept 2011 - so back to Texas for me!. I have a temporary license her in NH, and my last motorcycle riding was quite some time ago when going to college. So here are my choices as I see them:
Any other ideas or input? Can my 1997 Honda Accord Sedan tow a brand new 2011 H-D FXDC weighing in at 650 lbs or so? I've heard that I shouldn't cover it because if the cover works loose, it will flap in the wind and scar the finish. How do I protect it during the move? Should I load it backwards so I can more easily remove it at the other end?
Thanks!

- Hire a transport company from $600 to $1000 to move my new bike. The move will be insured, and it will arrive 'brand new' in San Antonio
- Wait until April (ouch!) fly up to NH after taking the motor cycle course and getting a license. For some reason, they dropped my 'M' rating off my license about 10 years ago in Texas. I'll get my 'trial by fire' and 2000 miles of experience under my belt pretty quickly
- Buy a CAT 1 Curtis tow hitch for my 1997 Honda Accord Sedan (new all-weather tires, shocks, well be getting new lower ball joints and a trany fluid change next week). Get a small open trailer and tow my bike with me to San Antonio.
