Tpoppa Posted January 8, 2020 Report Share Posted January 8, 2020 (edited) Winter boredom has me looking at motorcycles online & I'm considering buying a bike that's located near Detroit. I'm not counting on January weather being nice enough to ride it home. Know anyone local that can transport a motorcycle in an enclosed trailer about 110 miles? Not looking for a favor. I'm willing to pay someone who can transport a motorcycle without damaging it. Edited January 8, 2020 by Tpoppa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Punk Posted January 9, 2020 Report Share Posted January 9, 2020 I can't be much help then. You can use my trailer, if you can get a tow vehicle you'll be all set. The trailer is a little less than eight miles from your house so if you come up with something text me if you need it since I don't check in here as regular as I used to.

Bubba Posted January 9, 2020 Report Share Posted January 9, 2020 I'm with Jim (never thought I'd say that...but his suggestion seems sensible) and would go with the cheaper option of a U-Haul pickup or small box truck/moving van. Could prolly be rented for less than hiring a company to move it, and you get to make sure the tie-down arrangement is secure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appreciate that you'd be willing to let me use your trailer, but I don't have a suitable tow vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeansZG Posted January 9, 2020 Report Share Posted January 9, 2020 FYI: Feb '19 I went the U-Haul route & rented their dedicated motorcycle trailer going to fetch my 1200 Multistrada 180 miles away. Total cost was less than $30 for the day. Crappy day that had me wishing I would've rented a fully enclosed trailer, but w/ the 50-60 mph headwinds blowing s**w & the road crew salting the roadways, it was nothing $5 at the local car wash didn't remedy...

I'd rather have it in a suitable trailer that is already setup for motorcycles, with a wheel chock, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheel against the nose, two 2 x 4 screwed into the floor on each side of the wheel and 4 tie downs. Big heavy bike, 600 miles or so it never moved. Packed the screw holes with dirt and turned it in. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
