I know this has been asked before, but I did not file.  What is the best and most reasonable shipper from SC. to KY. About 450 miles. TIA. Don. |

airfare and gas would be cheaper then what I've seen for shipping. UHaul rents motorcycle hauler for 250 for 3 days. Last time I checked on shipping it was 650, but that was 2000 miles, I'm thinking most of the money is in equipment/container vs mileage.

Don, I'm trying to remember the shipper I used when I bought my Valk, they specialize in piano and motorcycle shipping, very professional. They have a distribution point in Elizabethtown. They will do home delivery but, I chose to go to E' Town and ride my bike back home. They were also very reasonable in price. Dang it, getting old sucks. I'll do some research and see what I can come up with. I think these are the folks I used. http://www.keyboardmotorcycleshipping.com/Ron |

Thanks guys, for the come-backs. After talking to the seller I`m in a "not feel-good mood" about spending my money with them. I guess I`m a pickey SOB. But HEY, I`m poor. |

We can ship your motorcycle in one of our enclosed trucks for a total cost of $325.00 These trucks are brand new and have the capability of carrying six high end cars along with up to two motorcycles.

We can also ship your motorcycle in one of our open trucks for a total cost of for $276.25 Our open trucks are a typical nine car carrier that you may see delivering new cars to your local car dealership.

I know it would be hard to land a Valkyrie as nice as yours but one can think about it once in a while.  I must say you are top notch VRCC and I think that all should be as nice as you. Now, do I get some KUDO`s or what ever. Thanks for your friendship. Don |
