I wish I had the time & it's only 625 miles each way. Athens, Ala to Canton, Ohio! |

I might be trailering a bike from AL to OH on 5/28. Haven't decided whether I should fly and ride or drive and trailer..... In case of trailering I could possibly offer a ride :-) |

Sorry, I couldn't wait any longer and I'm paying a shipping company $450 to get it to me. I just didn't want to miss any good riding days so she's on her way here ... hopefully within days! Thanks for everyone's help and ideas! |

I'll grade the shipping company and advise all of you when it's completed. I was amazed today. The shipping company was there to pick it up TODAY! 1 business day after I ordered the shipping and paid the deposit to the shipper. I ordered the shipping on Friday. The driver arrived at the sellers place of storage, called me and gave me a report of condition while he was there! It will be here Wednesday pm or Thursday am. So far, worth every penny I paid. Think of this. It would have cost me 4 tanks of gas with a Dodge Dakota R/T @ $50 per, 2 days of not doing business, a hotel room, and food both ways. For $450, I couldn't justify it. So far, so good. |

WOW! What service. Ordered shipping on Friday 5/11. I didn't even have time to Fed-Ex the cashiers check to the seller yet so I wired the money on Monday 5/14 after I got the call from the shipper that they had a truck in the area! The driver called me from Alabama and went over the entire bike from his cell phone with a description. Picked up bike in Alabama on 5/14 and delivered it to me on Wednesday 5/16 and went over the bike AGAIN with me. Somewhere my Firebolt lost a mirror from Alabama to Ohio! The driver wrote ME a check for $50.00 to replace the left mirror! All for $400.00 total. Best transaction I've EVER had! Silva Auto Transport 831-724-9507 (Sadie) I have NO affiliation with them and I found them on the net. Tell them Bill Yates sent you. I may get a deal next time by passing this on! |
