Anyone interested in renting out their RT near Cincinnati for the period 8.7.24 - 8.13.24 for a KY ride?
Unfortunately, we just hit a deer head on with my 2012 RT and I'm not sure if it'll be fixed or even fixable - the shop has already said 2012 new parts are hard to come by. I had a trip scheduled with a riding group I just joined last year of some old friends and now new ones who do a 5 day ride every year. I was going to trailer mine down, but I was having trouble finding a trailer to rent for out-of-town use, & my wife's CRV needs a trailer hitch added, but it will only have 1500 lb capacity and the bike is 952 lbs or so, I think. I'm hoping to find something that's only 2 hours or less to the Cincy area, as we're meeting just South of there to start the ride. I'm not trying to add to my risk with long rides on highways by myself (vs having 12 of us in a group).
Eagle Rider's got nothing. Ridershare has a few options, but they're all pretty expensive. I didn't know if anyone in the group has any interest in renting out their Spyders or what they might charge? I'm still hoping mine will be fixed, but gotta have options at this point.
Deer lost, bike lost... but my wife and I are uninjured and still alive. 1/2 sec sooner or later and I would've likely been swerving at 60mph and off the road &/or off the bike, or the deer would've been in our laps and we would've definitely ended up off the bike. Truly blessed.
