Thanks for the offers and advice guys, I think I'm going to contact Haul Bikes or Keyboard, depending on who can get it to me quicker, and let them handle it. They both look like very reputable and quality carriers. I have a buddy going down from Dallas to inspect the bike to MAKE SURE it is as advertised. Don't wanna get it all the way up here and find it's junk. He's going to bring it back to Dallas and I'll have the shipper get it from there.
Thanks again.

Lucky

I also used Keyboard to ship my bike from Florida to New Jersey and was pretty happy with them.

http://aerostarmc.com/ this is who I used. Northern Illinois to the Florida Keys in the dead of winter (polar vortex and all), if I ever have to do it again they will have my business worth every penny. Get in touch with Amy Hartman (aka the Motorcycle Vixen).

hope this helps

I used Haulbikes to ship my bike home from to MASS from California after a cross country ride. They were a good company to deal with, but I was without the bike for 4 weeks. Make sure you ask how long it will take to be delivered. This summer, I used Federal Transportation to ship my bike cross country...more expensive, but took about 11-12 days. Good luck!

I actually ended up putting an ad on Uship and had a guy on there that goes by skullman6868 bring it from Dallas to Menominee, MI , which is only 4 hour west of here, for $400!. I drove up there with my buddies Harley Hauler and grabbed it. I bought it Saturday,he picked it up on Sunday morning and had it to the U.P. Tuesday night! Couldn't have worked out any better, great guy and handled the bike with care. I won't go anywhere else if I need to move a bike again.
