I drive about 125 miles one way about two times a month. I have worked out an agreement with another C&V member who lacks the time to restore his collection of bikes. Since I was laid off back in March, I have planty of time.
I usually pick up three bikes, take them home and return one or two to him after I finish what I need to do to the bikes. Basically, for every bike I work on, I can choose one bike from his collection to do with as I please, keep or flip.
The wife normally goes along with me and we make a day of it, usually stopping in Hannibal, MO for a nice lunch.
