[QUOTE="FXRS, post: 1282459, member: 87653"] I've also had two very good experiences shipping bikes cross country via Federal Motorcycle Transport, division of Allied Van lines. Couple tips (shooting from memory, it's been a while): If you can have the bike shipped from/to business addresses I recall it saved some money. It's not like they need a loading dock or anything. They just don't like sending their big moving van trucks to tight residential addresses for a simple bike pickup IF it can be avoided. I just had the driver meet me in the parking lot of where I worked. About 5 years later I shipped a second bike and the exact same driver showed up. He said I thought this place looked familiar - easy deal, nice people to deal with. Secondly, may not help our Canadian poster, but I remember getting an additional discount by being an AMA member. Oh, no need to crate the bike. They supply the pallet it gets tied down to then covered with quilted pads. All done right when they meet you to pick it up. I supplied my own soft ties (loops) so had smart anchor points for tie-down straps. Drained gas, left oil in - no problem. Good luck, [/QUOTE]
