When I got my first pin (which was also a Gorgar!) I left the head attached. When I told my buddy who has about 20 pins that I did that, he told me I was a fool. The motion of the vehicle causes the head to rock which can mess up the threads that secure the head bolts. Now when I'm moving old pins that don't have foldable heads, I leave everything connected in the head, pull the head bolts at the base of the head, put a blanket over the playfield where the head will go, and lay the head down on top of the playfield. There should be enough slack in the wiring that it won't cause you any issues. I also ratchet strap the head to the body to secure it. It's significantly heavier to move that way, but it's not too bad if you have two decently strong people.
