That sucks, I can only imagine how I would feel. I'm in the process of selling my house in Vermont and moving to Florida, and this makes me even more glad that I have my own trailer to transport the bike in. As far as I'm concerned if you didnt kill the movers you really restrained yourself!

Them's fight'n words - terrible situation for you & the scoot. Always hated the moves when I was still in military. Something always gets damaged, but yours takes the cake. Let us know how things go & gotta believe they'll get it right. Be persistant & call your insurance in too...for a 2nd opinion.

I would get a few quotes before the moving company adjuster gets there.

Man, I hate this for you!

Good luck and don't shoot the adjuster when he insults you.

Good luck with the repairs and your relocation!

Can understand your sickness. I dont think I would expect any frame damage fro a four four foot fall. They they are pretty beefy and the plarts of the bike add to the strength of it. Good luck in Tn.

I would have rdidden the bikes up if I didnt have two cars to bring up. The relo company would only do the bikes unless I paid extra for the cars. In hind site you are right, I should have riden them or rented a bike trailer and pulled them myself.

Hey guys thatnks for all the support, didnt sleep well last night, but today is another day. Stayed in a hotel neer the house and now getting ready for the 4 our trip to Nashville. The relo company sent me an email last night and gauranteed they would make it right so I will keep the email just in case. The moving company shows up at our new house sometime tomorrow, so I will be able to do a once over and note all the damage better with a cooler head and find every last scratch or dent to be fixed. Also thanks to all for the advice on the HD dealers up there.

I guess my question would be is why did you trust "your baby" w/a moving company? I wouldn't have...Moving companies are notorious for hiring strong backed-weak minded individuals. At the very least you should have supervised the moving of your bike or did it yourself.
