You might want to research the best way to tie down your new bike and be prepared for that in case the u haul plan comes up, weather in PNW is nasty about now - I'm south and east of Seattle in Idaho and just got snow. You could trailer out of the nasty stuff and ride the rest, a lot of the foul weather up here comes with high winds, on wet roads that gets ugly....
Congrats on the bike your gonna love it.
