Default Motorcycle Movers

I just purchased my 2012 SG, it's down in Strafford, TX just outside of Houston and was wondering if anyone could recommend a reliable and cautious moving company to get her home to me in the U.P. of Michigan. I'm really nervous about just letting anybody throw her on a truck and bounce her all the way up north.
Any suggestions?

I live in Minnesota and bought my Fatboy from Chicago Harley about 3 years ago. I was very pleased with the movers I used. Go to www.haulbikes.com

They look like a good company. Their policies seem reasonable and it is nice that they have a mililitary/EMS discount.

Looks like they have a special, $525.

This is an easy one......one way flight is about 450.00, I'll take a tent, you pay for the gas and meals and I will fly down and ride it back......should be less then 700.....could leave say the 10th.....will get it as close as Hartford MI.

Make it the 8th

Yep, a buddy of mine is a vet and used them when he moved to Arizona. He was pleased too. Forgot to mention, be careful with some bike shippers as many of them are only brokers who locate movers for you so I'm sure they get a piece of the pie for being a middle man.

Take Friday and Monday off. Leave Thursday night and drive down in a truck with a buddy to share the driving. You'll be back at work Tuesday morning with a new bike.
