You know what they say - "The most dangerous part of soaring is the
motorcycle ride through Manhattan"

No kidding. I shudder to think...

OTOH, Van Sant airport also happens to be a major hangout for the
motorcycle set of all types. On a nice day, you'll see no fewer than
50 bikes ranging from the Harley crowd to various high-end rice
rockets, the BMW gang, and all sorts of exotica in between. So, if
you can find a way to avoid getting killed in the first 20 or so
miles, the end result might be kinda fun. You can probably hook up
with some of the local bike clubs and organize a group ride to the
airport!
