RE: Just a little Georgia Stint- History Time - 3

Sorry to hear about your knee injury.
A question on the UHaul.

Several years ago a friend from Texas drove to Minnesota to pick up a bike. UHaul would not do a one-way rental and he had to pull the empty trailer to Minnesota and return the trailer to Texas.
I take it you were allowed to do a one-way rental?

Well, my Southern Stint trip has come to an end. I am home.

Two things unexpectedly happened; one good, one not so good. First, the good stuff. Stacy and the pups came down for spring break and decided to stay for the entire month. This made this course so much better to handle. This was by far the toughest course I have had in my career, so having them with me was a huge mental boost.

Now for the not so great; I injured my left knee in the course. I think it might be my meniscus but have an appointment scheduled for next week to get a new MRI. I broke my right femur about 22 years ago so I am accustomed to knee pain in that knee but this is on my left. Maybe one day I will have two new knees that actually work but for now, I will take care of the ones I was born with.

So, needless to say, we traveled home as a family which meant no mountain trip through the Asheville area, which was what I was looking forward to the most. All in all, I put about 1800 new miles on the bike in the last two months which makes me happy.

Lee,
According to the Uhaul website, the 5x9 Ramp Trailer (which Doc rented) is available for one-way rentals, but the cost is ~$25/day. The Uhaul MC, which has lower sides and costs $15/day, is only available for round trip rentals.

Nailed it! But, even though it was more, it still had a specific front wheel "chalk" for the bike and a lot of D ring options.

Until I learned to cross the soft ties on the bottom of the triple clamp, the high wall of the ramp trailer was a challenge for me. In my area, the MC trailer is available at a limited number of Uhaul dealers, but most all have the 5x9 ramp unit.

Either unit is a hefty piece of construction.

By the way, did you abide by that maximum speed warning on the fender?
