    How comfortable are you riding the bike that far? A one way plane/train ticket back.

    Re: Need to move bike to NJ

    We have thought of riding it but that requires plates, insurance etc. It's a used machine and we are trying to get it to NJ to be shipped to the UK.
    We have a few options but thought of trying a local company. I'm thinking like a "man with a van" type service, smaller and more local.

    If I had a truck I'd bring it down myself. Any suggestions would be appreciated and the bike is in southern Vermont.

    Thanks

    I was in the air freight biz years ago, Forward Air will truck it down in a mc container pretty cheap. Just get it to their terminal at Logan, you strap it in and its gone to EWR, Newark NJ airport.

    Re: Need to move bike to NJ

    Ok lads, we have found a shipping company that can handle the bike.
    Federal Allied is a one stop shop and will go with them.
    Would have liked to do it ourselves but we lack the free time.

    Thanks again for all the help as it is most appreciated.
    BTW, if you ever need help with coffee give me a shout.
