Bringing a motorcycle?

That would be a lot of car washes. And how often would you have time to wash it?

The chain probably won't last long either.

 

If I had one on my truck, I would have time to wash it every time I took a 34, or once a week.

As a reefer hauler, I could throw a few bucks at the reefer washout crew every week to spray down the bike.

If you keep chains oiled up with spray lube, they will last a while.

Reasonable cleaning and maintenance on a bike's mechanicals isn't that hard or time consuming.

It will definitely still age faster on the catwalk of a truck than if stored in a garage, but you should be able to keep a simple motorcycle or moped reasonably well maintained for minimal effort for at least a few years.

 

I bought a new V45 magna during that 55 experiment, and put 29,000 miles on it in 11 1/2 months, than bought a wing.
The magnas sweet spot where it really liked to run was 95 or 6 mph, I paid enough tickets that year to make insurance near unobtainable at any cost the next.
When I made the deal for the wing, I was working 80 miles away and the other side of houston, getting to the bank to do the deal was problemetic to say the least. I finally rained out and head for the bank, I topped an overpass at 96 knowing full well that a pasaadena motorcycle cop would be setting down there, he always was. He just stood there there and waved me over. He ask why I was in such a hurry, and I told him, it doesn't matter, but I rained out and if I can get to my bank, I am going to get me a bike like yours, he was riding a wing. lol
He laughed so hard it wasn't funny, and told me I was getting a ticket, but he would give me the smallest one possible. lol

 

I washed my truck pretty regular and they would spray it off. When I got it home it would get a good cleaning.

 

It has been years since I have owned a husky, lots of years, they were tough back in the day.

 

An outfit up here rents some nice bmw dual sports, and they are popular for guys to rent and ride up the haul road to Prudhoe. Coming back today up at baker there was what looked like a bmw in the ditch that had had a slight heating problem and melted down, I do not know if it was a rental or even for sure it was a bmw.
