CAP,
I see why now, 1200 miles would be a nice trip though.
I looked in the Main Stream magazine and see that there are 3 GS dealers that sell and service the BT Cruiser line in New York.

I would think that one of them would/could handle your warranty needs. Of course you will not be put on the top of their list since their customers that purchased from them will be first priority, but I believe that is the way it is handled at any dealership of any brand.
