Having a new bike shipped from the dealer to me, has anyone had any good or bad experiences and who did you use?
Thanks in advance.

 

Depends on how far your going but you may want to call a motorcycle tow company to tow it over. The dealer or your insurance company may have some numbers for them in your area.

 

Just like Kman suggests, or look into a local courier in your area that way, if something goes wrong you can kick the manager in the head locally (j/K) i mean erm so you can ask people around if they have had a good experience with them.

 

The motorcycle is being transported about 900 miles.I bought it from an out of state dealer and prefer to have it delivered than pick it up

 

Don't forget that the fluids must be completely drained without a trace of odor or it will have to be shipped as a class 9 hazmat.

 

I bought my bike from PA and had it shipped to CA using Allied/Federal: bike loaded/strapped to a pallet, insured (additional at extra cost), shipped in an enclosed trailer and delivered to my driveway in less than a week. I got e-mail notifications as the bike made stops along the way and last but not least, the bike was damage-free when ti arrived.

 

WHAT???? where does this information come from I just sold my shovel in wisconsin and the buyer shipped to california no draining of anything sent with 1/2 tank of gas. buyer got the bike started right up for him

 

I can't believe the took the bike with fluids in it. No shipping company I know of will take a bike with gas or oil in it. You can't even take a lawn mower into Home Depot with gas in it.

 

I shipped mine back and forth from Germany and the States,Army paid for it, and all I had to do was disconnect the battery and drain fuel. But they didn't even check the fuel..

 

How much to do this? im unemployed buy me a plane ticket Ill get it and ride it to you then you fly me home ... If its close to me ill have the wife drop me off .
