Just checked the end of the last thread...
Bill, glad the AM2K's helped! I had no doubt they would. The stock tires are very rigid and just don't do a great job on most surfaces. (unless you want to do donuts on wet pavement, I guess).
It does not neccesarily mean round trip in that in the same way I could carry them with me on the way out, I could reverse the process. I am thinking that a medium/large Rubbermaid container, strapped shut with something reusable might be the way to go. That way plane type people could open it, inspect it and reseal it, it would get there with me and I could insure it for a zillion dollars in case they crush it!!! That's one thing that always bugs me. They can charge me $100 each way to transport my bike but theymake me sign a damage waver saying it is not their fault if they wreck it. Go figure.
