The Journey to Williamsport

Today began at 7AM with a trip to Walmart. I got some tie-down ratchet straps, a trailer hitch ball, and a safety pin (ill-fated safety pin).

Then it was off to U-Haul to rent a trailer. I rented a 5' x 9' open trailer. They hooked it up and all looked great (see previous post). I got the bike in Williamsport, transferred the title and got on my way home. The trip home was uneventful. I parked the bike in my apartment's parking garage and then went to take the U-Haul trailer back. I got half-way to the U-Haul place, and the damn trailer fell off the hitch ball! Luckily there was no damage to my truck or the trailer. I got a new pin, and took it back.

Now for the fun part. Here are some pictures of the adventure. Unfortunately when I buy a motorcycle, it rains for 3 days, so I don't have any high quality pictures of the bike. On the next sunny day, I'll be sure to take many.
