Flew from Akld to Dunedin to pick up a GSX1135E and rode it back to Akld.
Political correctness: a doctrine which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd from the clean end.

Drove to Wellington from just south of Auckland to get my racebike. Had option to pass on it if not happy. Luckily it was all good. Got to the Manfield round of the nationals on the way back for a look see. Many thanks to my mate who came along to share driving and check the bike out with me.
Do us all a favour, by bringing yourself up to speed, before pulling onto the motorway.

Bought a BMW. Picton to Napier - Thunderbike (Nelson) trailered the bike to Picton and I rode it home to Napier.
Bought the 1250. Pukekohe to Napier - bus up rode the bike back via Te Awamutu, Te Kuiti, Taumaranui, Taupo, Napier.
Riding a bike that sort of distance home means you get the feel of the bike very quickly.

Jam and tarts....
Departed Pahiatua in a shitty little Civic at 4pm one Sunday in '08. Got to Auckland at 1am Monday. Got a feed, visite a mate, up at 6am and off to see a few bike shops (a mate had a list of bikes he wanted to test, then buy). I got test ride duties for all of them
Left Auckland at lunch time, I rode the bike the whole way home. I got home somewhat quickly and the Civic was an hour and a half behind.

Bling your bike out!

Not so crazy ....
Te Anau to Nelson……. On a dirtbike, KTM EXC with a seat like a bit of 4x2.
Flew Nelson to Invercargill, got shuttle bus to TeAnau, met the seller, chucked road lights kit, indicators and plate on it, handed over the cash and rode home over next 3days.
Did 1400 km via lots of gravel back roads and high country passes, longest day being 680 km, a great ride but my arse wasn’t happy about it.
Would happily do it again tommorrow

Currently living in Perth. I flew from Perth to Brisbane to buy a 2nd hand Rocket 3. Freighted it back to Perth. Year later flew Perth Adel to buy a Honda SP2, freighted that back, too. Then when in Auck, flew to Wgtn to buy a near new Tiger. We rode that back to Auckland and froze our butts off. We left the Hutt Valley, 2-up on a new style of bike straight over the Rimutakas in drizzle and about 8 deg C. I learnt a lot about that bike in the first hour. It was awesome. Its in Akl and for sale if someone wants a bargain (within reason).
Best Frenemy you could have!
Auckland to Mt Maunganui. Popped down one Friday to inspect bike and test ride (no-one else had a GSA demo). Liked the bike, but it was just after New Years, and some numbers needed sorting. Was happy to receive numbers in email and go from there, the salesman had other ideas, ended up walking out with a signed purchase, but rode my bike home (damn salesmen). Stripped it that night of the accessories I was swapping over, with the help of mates.
Next weekend, popped down again, dropped off my bike as a trade in and rode home on the new one, after I'd sent a package of accessories for fitting, and they had fitted them during the week.
I wouldn't have a problem riding a bike to or from anywhere...

Re reading the thread title I see it has two potential meanings and as I have answered the first it seems I should now also answer in the second form.
I have gone as far as lying (to SWMBO), cheating (also on SWMBO) and stealing (also from SWMBO) to get all of my bikes
