Supporting Member roadrash83 Posted September 17, 2020 Supporting Member Share Posted September 17, 2020  Unfortunately I will be leaving Eastern Pennsylvania and all the great twisty roads that I love, for south Western Florida😢 I'm looking to have 5 bikes shipped down, do any of you have any recommendations, advice or companies to avoid?                                                                                Thanks He who dies with the most toys wins.

Unfortunately with 36 pieces of metal in my neck and nerve damage my track days are over. The neck is a result of a few high sides back when I was indestructible! 2 He who dies with the most toys wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Amtrak Auto Train will move em for cheap from Arlington VA to Orlando area. They mount each bike on its own skid. But you got to get em from Sanford to Naples or wherever yourself. Ahh, AAMRR. That was fun stuff. Just curious, what happens when you go through the TSA metal detector?;) Edited September 17, 2020 by nhchris 1968 Triumph Bonneville 650 1971 Norton Commando Roadster 2002 Harley 1200 Sportster 2003 Honda ST 1300 2016 FJ 09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justplainbill Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 (edited) I was going to recommend checking out uShip, because I used them twice in the past and had good results. Reading reviews of the company now, I would be very careful to find out what they will charge you for their service, what the trucker will charge and whether the trucker has a lot of very positive feedback from customers. There are a lot of highly pissed off reviewers here: uShip Reviews - 59 Reviews of Uship.com | Sitejabber 59 reviews for uShip, 1.9 stars: 'I signed up on UShip to...  Edited September 21, 2020 by justplainbill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhotoAl Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 (edited) With 5 bikes have you thought about just renting a trip and hauling them down?  Of course everyone is moving from the NE to Florida so truck costs may be high.  Looked into shipping when my bike broke in Grand Island Nebraska.  No pickups to rent.  Looked into Haul Bikes but gave up as there was lots of fine print and unknown stuff - wound up repairing and then trading for a new Tracer GT which I rode home.  :-) Edited September 23, 2020 by PhotoAl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member roadrash83 Posted September 23, 2020 Author Supporting Member Share Posted September 23, 2020  Looks like I got lucky, I have found a moving company that will put the bikes in the truck. I still have to wait for the guy to come out and give me a quote and find out how they secure the bikes. All I care about is getting the bike and my tools down there safely. This really sucks, going from a house with a three car garage and basement to a two a car and no basement. 😟 2 He who dies with the most toys wins.

koth442 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 That's abysmal. I hope there's another, greater, incentive to be relocating with a decent degree of certainty to have better motorcycle lodging accommodations soon. '15 FJ09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told the lot behind the house might be going up for sale and if so, I will buy it and build a proper garage and replace all the stuff I had to sell and give away. I keep telling my self Richard Pollack of Mule motorcycles, works out of a two car garage.🙂 2 He who dies with the most toys wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
