worst case, buy a trailer, haul your bike, then sell the trailer when you get to where your going. jackyl

you could probably find a garden/utility trailer at Lowes, Home Depot, or Menard's type store. fix it for a bike. trailer your bike to where ever and if you have to, sell it at your destination, i'm sure there is someone in your shoes at your destination. good luck and have a safe trip.

I would definately NOT lay the bike on its side.
I like riding it and have some one else run the truck out for you. You could fly them back for less and have a nice ride.

sounds like i will do the trailor. I just did not want to have to buy the trailor, the hitch and then the harness and then there is the gas expense.
Unfortuantly there is no one that can drive the truck for me.
Thanks to all who replied. there was a lot of great info in this post.
I am going from boston to phoenix.
Thanks all, dirico

RE: Transporting my harley ?
I'll be making a trip from Pittsburgh to Phoenix starting Oct 25th!! My second time. This time I'm helping my dad move out here with all his toys! He'll be driving his work van towing our bass boat and I'll be driving his Avalanche with his Road King in the back. Should be an "interesting" trip to say the least.

RE: Transporting my harley ?
I have to agree with the CraigsList route if you have the time (as most I've come across on there would require a little work before the trip). I think your next bet would be to buy and then sell when you are done with it.
I would suggest that you cancel the move over transporting your bike on its side. [8D]

Hire someone to drive your truck to Phoenix and you ride the motorcycle. People have been hiring people to drive their cars from point A to point B for years - for example, college students are always needing a ride and they will drive cars cross-country as you need. You could advertise in the local college paper.
