ON 10/23/2014 THE AIRCRAFT OWNER WAS ISSUED A FERRY PERMIT TO TRAVEL FROM OAKDALE AIRPORT, CALIFORNIA (O27) TO LIVERMORE AIRPORT, CALIFORNIA (LVK) VIA DIRECT TO ACCOMPLISH AN OVERDUE ANNUAL INSPECTION.  PRIOR TO TAKEOFF THE PILOT IN COMMAND (PIC) STATED THAT AN EXTENSIVE PREFLIGHT WAS ACCOMPLISHED BEFORE TAKEOFF.  IN ADDITION, THE PIC TAXIED THE AIRCRAFT SEVERAL TIMES TO ENSURE THE AIRCRAFT BRAKES WERE WORKING AND THE ENGINE WAS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY.  AFTER DEPARTING O27, THE PILOT ORBITED THE AIRPORT FOR 25 TO 30 MINUTES CHECKING ALL FLIGHT CONTROLS AND ENGINE SYSTEMS BEFORE CONTINUING THE FLIGHT TO LIVERMORE AIRPORT. DOWNWIND AT LIVERMORE AIRPORT FOR LANDING ON RUNWAY 7L, THE AIRCRAFT WAS CONFIGURED FOR LANDING AT 1400 FEET. THE AIRCRAFT TOUCHED DOWN ON RUNWAY 7L MIDWAY BETWEEN THE APPROACH END OF THE RUNWAY AND TAXIWAY G WITH IDLE POWER.  DURING ROLLOUT THE TOWER ASKED THE PIC TO EXIT AT TAXIWAY G.
