Motorcycle Shipping

[NK]

I need to transport my monster from Los Angeles to Michigan. I am looking into using a motorcycle shipping company. I want a company that uses air ride trucks and enclosed trucks. I have been searching around on the web for the best companies, but there are quite a few. Does anyone have any companies that they recommend? Any companies that I should steer clear of? I was thinking about having my bike picked up and dropped off at my door, so I wouldn’t have to have my bike sit at a distribution center and run the risk of it being handled without me. 

Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated.

I used ForwardAir to get my bike when I purchased it from a DML'er in Denver shipped to AZ. It was flawless and not too expensive. I'd use them again if needed.

Good Luck.

Even though these guys look like they just have ships, they also do cross country

i used haul bikes and they use covered trailers and only deal with motorcycles only.  i would trust them again, a bit expensive but worth it.

Did your monster fit in small or regualar size container?

When I used ForwardAir my bike was put in it's own steel container and secured by the person who shipped it to me - not handled by any employees, then the container was locked with a personal pad lock. It was rock solid and very much worth the money - which for the distance was really pretty cheap.

Have someone drive your car and ride the bike,that would be a nice adventure ride:-)
