Shipping question

[monstermania]

I am thinking about going back to Texas for a few months and I want to take my two bikes, does anyone have any information on what it might cost to have my bikes shipped from California to Texas, and who I should get in contact with for this service?

Thanks for responding.

I almost went with a bid from the uship site before several strokes of good luck and good friends helped me get my bike from NC to OR.

i had a bike shipped from denver CO to central PA about 5 years ago and it cost me $500, YMMV

Ok, I am from Europe and I don't know how big the mighty US is.
But LA -Austin seems to be 1000 miles of warm weather fun.
I would take the chance for a road trip.   [moto]
And if you dont have time, invest the 500 bucks in a plane ticket for me and I will do the service for you
no kidding

More like 1600 or 1700 miles, depending on where in Texas. Desert, hills, desert, high desert plateau, then mountains, and lots more desert. I know some out there are crazy enough to do it, but I wouldn't ride that on a Monster. Probably on a Beemer though

Not sure what the monster would cost but one of the guys we ride w/ had a MV shipped (from Cali I think) and he said it was ~500.  My new bike shipped to Austin from MD was 550 so you're probably looking at around 500.

plenty of people have done it.
i rode mine about 1300 miles a few summers ago.

i think time and the fact that he wants to take 2 bikes are the limiting factors with regards to rising out.

that said, i'll ride the second bike

Where in Texas are you moving?

I just moved out of Texas, and packed my bike on a Penske moving truck. the roads up to Boston has more turns that I10.  I suggest you rent a moving truck, pack your stuff, and the bikes,

3 for 1 trip, and no air fair, and you can stop along the Grand Canyon, and Rt 66. don't forget Santa  Fe... what a treat!    just watch out for Armadillos and your gas tank... don't wait till the light comes on.

I used Allied to ship a bike I sold from Seattle to Sacramento. They did a nice job and their rates were reasonable in comparison to everyone elses. They picked the bike up at my house. I think it ran about $600.

put it up on uship.com for a couple weeks.  It takes a little time but you can get a really good deal.
