Help me solve my quandry...
I need to get my GS to Austin during a weekday so Roger at OROR can help me tune my suspension. I work remotely so as long as I have internet, I can spend a day in Austin and not have to take a day off work. I'll just grab a hotel with points for a night and work out of the hotel the next day until about 3 and then get my bike to Roger for a tune. I'm not planning on a ride on the GS where I really need the suspension tuned until May so I have a bit of time to work with.
Here are the 3 options I'm considering.....
1.) Ride my GS to Austin on 3-27, spend the night, have it tuned on 3-28 and then continue to Strom a Thon from Austin after tuning on the 28-31st and I'd have the GS for Strom a Thon.
2.) Ride my GS to Austin on 4-3, spend the night, have it tuned on 4-4 and then ride back home on 4-4. I would take my KTM to Strom a Thon the prior week which was my original plan and frankly the entire reason I have the KTM is for street rides like that.
3.) Trailer my GS and KTM to Austin on 3-27, spend the night, have the GS tuned on 3-28 and then continue on to Strom a Thon pulling a trailer with both bikes and have both the GS and the KTM there to ride.
Option one is the most straight forward....but I'd really like to ride the KTM for the street riding I plan to do in Kerrville. As such, I think I'm leaning mostly to option 2 right now with the biggest disadvantage of option 2 is that it's 2 trips down south instead of just one. Option 3 gets me the best of both worlds and is by far the easiest solution....but I have to trailer the bikes and I generally prefer riding.
Thoughts?
