I am retired so I'll do it instead. You just pay the fuel and help with chow. Hotels are on me. Just please don't let it be a Honda QA50.

Although some here may have had different experiences, I would go with them again in a heartbeat. ;-T

Post by: ItsForrest on May 05, 2015, 07:21:30 PM: I recently used Haulbikes to move two bikes from Seattle to Greensboro, NC. It did take a few weeks for the bikes to get here due to the way they route the trucks but I would use them again without hesitation. They have top notch equipment, the driver was totally professional and a bike guy from birth, and the price includes $15,000 insurance per bike.

Post by: Thunderbutt on May 05, 2015, 08:03:28 PM: arveno- I had my LeMans shipped from Houston over to Fl. in January using Keyboard Shipping out of Kentucky. The price quoted was a flat fee, door to door, no dropping it off at a transport warehouse, and no extra fuel charge or handling fees. And the Bike was insured for $20,000.00 with zero deductible. The bike was strapped down to a metal framed dolly and once inside, secured to the floor of the trailer. I couldn't be happier with the service I received with them.

Post by: yourfavorite on May 06, 2015, 12:02:00 AM: I shipped my Vespa from NYC to LA for roughly $450 using uship.com. Dude showed up with a van and a trailer full of other bikes. Everything seemed legit and my bike made it to LA just fine.

They are set up for motorcycle shipping with containers which allow tie downs.
