Chadd Mowery 610-823-8063 chaddmowery@Gmail.com    He is a one man operation, and ships bikes all over the country. He is a super nice guy, recomended to me by Guzzisti here, and he has shipped two bikes for me. Excellent service and communication. I am thinking fotoguzzi  possibly recomended him to me, but i cant remember.

I was just telling this tale to my wife (Again!) tonight - how every time I recommend this path to you fellows you remind me that I did that when I was twenty-few and we're all three times that age now ...

"I remember getting out of Denver in December with my H2 Kawasaki - went to a truck stop seeking somebody who'd take a paying passenger to San Francisco.

Truckers there told me to ride north to Cheyenne and try my luck there.

Got one ride there with a flat bed to Salt Lake City, then another there with a moving van to San Francisco.

 Fun days - I gave those two drivers about what it would have cost me for gas and oil, and they hauled me and my bike through four foot snow drifts."

That's the combustion chamber of the turbo shaft. It is supposed to be on fire. You just don't usually see it but the case and fairing fell off.

Thats a cool story,normozone! Yes, Chadd is based out of florida, but he hauls bikes all over the US. he hauled my purchases from east Texas to Arizona, and the second one, a sidecar, from Las Vegas to Arizona. I live in a very rural, out of the way place, and he delivered to my front door.
Great Dude to deal with! :thumb:

It always amazes me, the way Chadd secures bikes, in his box trailer. The way he has it set up,with ramps, etc. is pretty cool, and he always protects the bikes very well.

His truck, I think he said 600,000 miles spring a trans line leak, slowed him up while getting into a shop for a fix just after leaving here.

Yep, Thats Chadd's rig!  Nothing "fancy" for sure, but it gets the job done. the way he "stacks" the bikes, inside, building small ramps as needed, is pretty amazing. I think anyone wanting a "no nonsense" transport, at a great price, by one heck of a nice guy, needs to look no further! :thumb:

Vadym Ostropolets +1 (929) 428-4990. Based in LA. His partner Igor Churkin is in FL. Two extremely hard working young men. Supposedly move bikes for Keanu Reeves. They picked up my G5 in MA for transport to a buyer in Dallas. I was very impressed.
