You could ride the VFR out there, as long as you don't drop it. The last road to the house from the main road is really steep and tight, I would want to ride that final part, its sketchy on a bike on a perfect dry day.
Ideally I need someone to ride the bike, another to drive the Miata and I follow in my truck, Which needs to get a rear seat re-installed.
I can provide lunch, adult beverages.

It would be a TON of fun to take the VFR if I could mostly stay off the highways. If you want to go the highway route and caravan together, uhaul motorcycle trailers are pretty cheap, and I can tow it with the family suv if the truck/van you're using doesn't have a hitch.
I want to say I'd take the VFR anywhere, but it seems like a long trip on 495/66 wouldn't by the wisest choice for my first highway experience. I'm comfortable on the side roads but I just haven't gone out on a highway yet.
edit: Or if you find somebody more experienced who can ride the VFR over, I'm happy driving the Miata. Whatever's most useful for you.

I will figure something out, once you get to Gainesville you can take 55 the rest of the way (goes past the Winery). It's fun on a bike or miata, not much in the Element.

Flying Dog has an opening for a Brewer. I'm tempted to apply since the only minimum qualifications listed are "Advanced math and reading skills"
