[bumblebee]

Just bought a bike in Virginia and (Due to extreme weather) must have it shipped to Mass. Anybody have good suggestions who to use??

U ship they do a great job shipped my bike from al. san diego 600.00 The shippers bid on the job.

If you trust the bike to just about anyone then Uship may be fine. Have you ever watched Shipping Wars? I won't be using them. On the other hand there's http://www.haulbikes.com/. They are pros and I've had good luck with them.

Rent a storage unti and ride it home when it is warmer.  It may be cheaper.

that's some good advice....and ditto on watching shipping wars before hiring a rookie shipper.

I had my 3 bikes shipped from Wisconsin to NJ for $1200 with Allied-Federal motorcycle shipping and all 3 arrived without a scratch.  They were professional motorcycle shippers and I got an AMA discount when I used them.

  Thanks to everyone that contributed. I chose JC Motors today and will let the group how it went. The cost was $598.00.

Sorry I am late

Haulbikes shipped my valk from seattle to ossining ny for 550  it was another 50 for the no deductible which I paid
you cant ride the valk for that price if you include meals and a place to sleep for 3 or 4 nights
extremely happy  the driver had his own wing on the 2 level truck very professional but they dont bust their ass getting there quickly   just safely  and that was FINE WITH ME
