Man 250 miles south huh? Doesn't that put you close to Sea World and all of that Jazz? I would tend to think there is a dealer closer to you that can help. By the time that you drive it home you will be almost ready for the first oil change. I would let a dealer do that one since normally if you do not then the warranty is void. After that mostly everyone does their own stuff. You are going to love it BTW!

Here in Austin? That means TJ's Cycles, right? Great folks to do business with! 250 miles south puts you somewhere around Corpus, right?
If it were me, I'd ride the bus here, let them assemble it and ride it home. Probably cheaper in the long run, and a lot more fun.
If you are near Corpus Christi there is a dealer there. I'd at least let them do the first service just to protect myself. If not, go here:

and find the dealer nearest you. :)
