OK badwebbers.... I am getting back into Buells again... miss the x1's... I have a fellow Badwebber that I might be purchasing a bike from. But he is 6+ hours away. thinking about having it shipped.

I need some advice. Who or what shipping company have you used? what the heck is the process for it? Do I send the check to the badwebber then they set up the shipping? do I set up the shipping?

6 hours? I'd just go get it, even if I had to rent/buy a small trailer. Still easier than having it shipped.

I've used forward air and haulbikes.com. No complaints with either.

I'd have to second that. If you've already committed to the purchase, I would either trailer it or ride it home.

Unless it's not roadworthy or you need to inspect it one last time before giving the seller the briefcase full of benjamins.

Rent a truck or van and go get it. Shipping is going to be at least $400 once you really get into the prices.

Yeah Chicago traffic is double plus ungood.

During the day = not moving
Middle of the night = moving but scary

My vote is for scary moving.
