Reserved a crate from forward-air. You have to reserve one(online) if you don't build your own, and then they let you know when one is available. We were shooting for a week after christmas, but a crate came available, so the previous owner took it down. Forward Air(not by air, by the way!?) says about four days from SanFrancisco to Orlando. Not cheap, but I couldn't drive out there to get it any cheaper. Or fly and rent a truck...so, considering that, not a bad price. The only downfall about this company is that they don't ship door to door. They ship from depot to depot. We have friends in Orlando and its not much of a drive, so it'll be a good excuse to cruise up to see them and pick up the bike. Anyway, Bunch O' stuff for mc16 ON EBAY RIGHT NOW...under nsr250. Will keep everyone up to date. Cliff
