Motorcycle shipping from DE to ME

[Kurlon]

Ok, final stretch, I've got to get my project bike from DE to ME. (It's a pun, AND accurate, cool!) Anyone got suggestions on who to go with?

uship.com

Place your bid on what you want to pay and transporters will bid to move your bike, if they cant do it at your price they will offer their price. Pick and choose on the best bid. This is what I used to get my bike from MA to TX

[Kurlon]

Looks pretty straight forward, thank you for the pointer.

8 hour ride... make it a hell of a Saturday...

[Puppet]

When do you need it, and what is it?

[Kurlon]

Heh, if I could trust myself to be safe driving after the 8 hours down, I'd be all over grabbing this myself. As it is just going to NJ I had to pester my wife to drive part of that trip, and it was half as far.

The precious cargo in this case is my new race bike, a 92 FZR400 RR SP that I had Speedwerks go through, plus a few spares. First LRRS weekend is the 28th, I'm hoping to get it home at least a few days prior so I can get acquainted with it myself.

[Puppet]

Cool. Good luck. A little sooner than when I'm heading north, so I can't help this time

Give me 300 plus gas I will go get it

some enterprises rent pick ups maybe un limited mileage like some cars or borrow a trailer

leave at 5 am be back at 10 pm

[Kurlon]

I have a truck and trailer, I just don't have the ability to drive safely that long. I've gotten a couple decent offers on shipping via uship so far, may talk a friend into splitting driving duty with me, haven't settled on a plan yet.

$250 plus gas?

$250 plus gas?

That's going to be one hell of a haul for you, what kind of milage does your setup get?

[typeone]

another option for you...

i used a guy named Rory through uShip that runs bikes up and down the east coast, he swung out to IL for me to grab the Husky. super professional, really nice guy and a long time enduro rider. only cost me ~$350.

if the other options don't pan out, i could dig up his contact info for you. (may already be bidding on your shipment, username vint51a)

Around 20mpg towing the trailer.

To bad you couldn't wait until May 2nd to get it. I am going to NJMP on May 29th and 30th and could arrange delivery from the track to portsmouth for a fraction of the cost!

[Kurlon]

I suppose I COULD wait, would suck missing the first round of racing though. I'm going to have to stew on that a little. It'd save me a good chunk of change I suppose... hrmmm...

I second this. I'm down at NJMP for TTD's and I'm driving back to ME (Bangor) right after. If you're interested and you can wait PM me.

There you go Kurlon problem solved!!

Edit: I'm almost tempted to some how get my time off shifted so I can go to the track day at NJMP myself...

[Puppet]

If you decide to wait until the end of the month NJMP, I'm coming up from DC and can hand it off to KB.

That was my thought earlier, but it wouldn't help you with the first round. On the other hand, if you come play at NJMP....

[KB]

Let me know what you want to do sooner rather than later. I will leave friday night son.

[Kurlon]

The racer in me says get bike now, run all the races.

Somewhere along the line I managed to convince my voice of reason to give me a second chance, and it's saying missing one race weekend as an AM isn't the end of the world... I'm game for my ride getting passed around a few times to make it's way home after NJMP.

[KB]

Get in touch with Puppet get it to NJMP and then tropicoz will bring it to maine. Problem solved. I am out for this weekend I made other plans to work and make some cash hanging sheetrock. Driving would have been easier but baby needs new shoes so I gots to work yo!
