I've been debating a road trip up there. It's a 12-13hr drive each way. Leave on a Friday after work. Take turns driving. Stop in to their shop Saturday morning. Grab a nap, then roll home. Could feasibly be home late Saturday night/Sunday morning.
Welcome aboard. Major kudos for taking the course and not buying a sport bike for your first bike. I highly recommend taking the advanced riders course also.
