RE: Moving!
A friend of mine just moved his family and his 03 Road King from coast to coast last year.
He had HD crate and ship it from his local dealer to his "new" local dealer at his destination. I think he paid $400 for it which included insurance, and he got additional coverage as a HOG member.
It made it safe and sound to portland, OR from New Hamsphire. The Portland dealer uncrated it at the dealership, checked all parameters, changed fluids, washed and cleaned the bike, then road tested it.
He picked it up and did a full visual inspection with the dealer. Bike was perfect. Best $$ he said he ever spent.
call your local dealer and give them the first crack at it.

Damn Ron I hate to lose you as a riding buddy already. [&:]Ahh well next time we meet up you've got to tell me what happened.
How long are you out at sea for? We are riding this Saturday, not sure where but the temps are supposed to be in the low 60s so who cares where we end up as long as we ride? [8D]

RE: Moving!
I wanted my nephew's old bike, so I had to have it imported from Canada. I went to the HD website http://www.harley-davidson.com/wcm/C...bmLocale=en_USand was able to find a broker to help with the import and Allied did the shipping. The whole ordeal from Calgary, AB to Richmond, VA (2800 miles plus import) came to $700. My brother-in-law didn't have to do anything but empty the gas tank. They put it on a crate and it arrived fine less than 3 weeks later, even being held up at the border.
You can call 888-haulbikes (from the website) and they'll make it pretty painless. It also included insurance for way more than the value of the bike.
