Just to be sure the steering is unlocked, you can keep the keys as we never start up the bike so we won’t be responsible for any keys, or anything that is not ‘part of the bike’ unless other arrangements have been made.

Drivers normally pick up your motorcycle within 1 to 4 working days from the date you place your order. Also, we can always arrange to accommodate your schedule, but you may incur additional costs.

The valuation included in this price is $7000.00 with a zero deductible. That means if anything happened, like a mirror got bumped or you got the rare ‘ship’ or ‘nick’ anything like that would be covered, as long as when it is signed for at delivery anything is marked on that drivers paperwork. If you would like additional valuation you can add it for $6.50 per thousand. You can always call me (Mary Lou) to help with any explanations on this subject.

Yes, as long as it rolls we will ship it. We don’t start them up so we don’t care if it starts or not.

Have an alternative party like a friend or relative to sign on your behalf. If you are not available for the pick up of your motorcycle. Make sure there is someone available to be reached directly by a phone for the driver to schedule a delivery time. The driver calls within 24 hours before their arrival, and the delivery time is within a 4-hour time frame.

We try to use smaller trucks for residential area if possible, which is most of our pickups/deliveries. If it is a remote location and it is a Tractor Trailer that has to load in your area the driver will try to arrange to meet you as close as possible, or if that is not possible we can arrange for a smaller truck or a ‘shuttle’ to assist. We work with you well in these areas.

Motorcycles are shipped via enclosed carriers in order to ensure their safety. Depending on the model they will be strapped down to custom cradles in order to transport them safely without damages. It is always recommended to use a motorcycle transporter to do the transport, especially for long distances. Bikes can also be transported via open carrier, although not recommended it is also an available service. Open carriers are usually used for inoperable bikes that are being transported to sell for parts or bikes that are going to a shop to be restored.

Yes and no. We need someone there to sign the contract (also known as the Bill of Lading) between you and the truck driver. If you can’t be there, make sure you have a friend or relative that can be there in order to sign the bill of lading and avoid unnecessary delays. Someone is also required to be present to do a walk-around inspection with the truck driver. This is to note any damages to the motorcycle before transport. So make sure you arrange for someone to be there if you cannot be.

Enclosed carriers are more expensive to maintain and can be covered with hard canvas or metal walls. Open carriers are lees expensive to maintain and are very common, starting with small towing trucks to 18 wheelers.
