Cash is on the bar, order yer self a cold one if you so desire, I'm
sticken to ice water till I get better.
I had right knee surgery on March the 1st of this year, and the
recovery is going a little (a lot?) longer than I would like.
So, to the subject, my 09 Ultra is currently at my place in Phoenix,
and I would like to bring it to my place in Ohio, since that's where I
am, and by the time I feel up to ridin again, it'll be hotter than you
know what in Phoenix.
So I'm left with the dilemma of how do I get it to Ohio, since I'm not
in any condition to ride for a while yet. I'm leaning towards having
it shipped. I've priced several of the advertised motorcycle shippers,
most are all about the same, a few were a lot high.
So I'm wondering, if anyone has used a commercial shipper to transport
a bike, and if you did, who were they, and were you satisfied with the
job they did.
I guess I could always borrow an enclosed trailer from my bud up the
street, but I'd have to drive there and back, and it would cost as
much, or probably more than the shipping cost by the time I paid for
motels, and $4.00 a gallon for gas in my truck.
Any info is appreciated.
Brian
