since I'm a retired VET and just moved to San Antonio, and close to an Air Force base, I thought I'd see what's available at REC Services. dang, they've got 19 and 21 ft Aerolites for rent... and the local Army base has 13 and 17 ft Casitas. looks like I'll just avail myself to the military and let them do the upkeep, licensing and storage for me.
oh, they also rent small utility trailers when I need to tow the bike.
thanks to everyone for all the input.
