Motorcycle Shipping / Relocation services

Lamnidae · 12-28-2011, 05:40 PM

Alright, so here's what's going on.

The wife and I are going to be relocating to San Antonio, and I'm needing to get the 'Busa moved, easiest way I see this happening is thru a relocation service.

-- Has anyone used one / know someone that they'd recommend?

-- anyone have any horror stories or know of particular folks to stay away from?

-- any other tips/suggestions?

Time-frame is late Feb, so it's not like I'm in a huge rush.

How are you moving the rest of your stuff? Couldn't you just trailer it with other things?

Otherwise, I think it was OTB that had some good lines on shippers for decent rates.

My friend Dave has purchased quite a motorcycles and mini bikes lately and used U Ship.

I'll get the name of the guy he used a few times, good prices and a good guy to deal with.

Right. All I hear from busa riders is how comfy they are.

Thanks for the responses.

So, first off, I'm relocating first and wife coming after the house sells. Moving the bike when I get back stateside and going to keep it at my parents place in Tx, not with me in San Antonio ---- so it won't be included with our main move (looking like we're going to be using a Pod-type shipping solution).

Don't have a trailer myself, and I'm only taking the 370z w/ me, wife following later with her Accord.... so I can't take it myself.

Timeframe wise, I wouldn't be able to just ride it down myself as the time that I would have to come back would be doing the packout for relocation.... so, that won't quite work.

Preciate the links, folks.

I really need to change out my bars and put on some new pegs, I get pretty damn cramped up on longer rides.
