Shipping a Motorcycle
I'm going to ship my Switchback from Salt Lake City to El Paso for a ride through Texas, New Mexico, and Colorado, then back to Utah. Anyone have any recommendations for shippers to use (or shippers to avoid)? I have done a Google search so I have identified several, just don't know if one is better than another.

I don't really know of a shipper, but you've peaked my curiosity sir.
Why ship if you want to ride through Colorado, NM and Texas? Why not just ride it there and back?
*Another Scenario: if you want to ride from Texas back to SLC and not the full round trip, would it be possible to rent a car/truck and a uhaul trailer? That may be a cheaper route then shipping.

Just guessing but the OP may not have enough time to do a round trip, and he wants to see as much of America as possible so he ships bike and flies down, and rides back home. To me that would be one of the most funnest two wheel vacations a person could have.

I used this guy to ship a bike I bought on ebay. price was great, and I cant say enough good things about the experience. He said he's east-west coast every other week. Might be worth the call
but Salt lake to El Paso is only 14 hours. It's a 1/2 day of your trip

I use Federated Shipping every summer for round trip shipping from Pa to Cali. However, when I buy bikes from other places I have always used Uship. I've have nothing but great experience and super cheap prices.
