Well, as a kid, I was able to master getting a CTC-16 table model (complete TV) on the handlebars of my Schwinn Cruiser... I did this many times, and never an accident! I also was known to do TV repair housecalls by motorcycle when I was a teenager... I'd pull the chassis and take it home to work on strapped to the back seat. You don't have to believe me, but it's true!

The longest distance was when I made a trade for a CT-100 with a fellow collector in Portland, OR. I went up & back from Los Angeles; 1,800 miles round trip. I left at 4:00 AM, got there for dinner, stayed at a motel, left at 9:00 AM for home and arrived home at 2 or 3 AM the next morning!

The greatest length that I have gone to lately to get a neat TV was actually harder than the above... I went 20 miles to Hollywood at rush hour to get my Zenith roundie. Now THAT WAS A TOUGH TRIP!
