Shipping Bikes/Trikes

[The Wolf]

Hello Boys & Girls... I am researching shipping prices. We want to bring our vehicles over to the USA in 2011.
Does anyone know a GOOD shipper who will take our bikes from the UK to the USA. So far been quoted around $2900 return.
Can any of you good folk point me in the direction of someone you know?
Thanks

We ship 20-25 every year....within the continental US. Got that down to a fine art and we just lease an entire 18-wheeler and load the bikes ourselves on Harley pallets at the HD Dealership. Then, have the HD Dealership on the other end unload them for us. Average cost is around $300 a bike/trike. HOWEVER...you have a lot more miles to cover from Scotland and I don't think there are any roads between here and there (that's meant as a joke of course). I wish you all the luck in the world and we would be glad to have you. We looked into a New Zeland ship once and decided it would be much cheaper to fly-n-ride. Our HD Dealer always rides with us and had a deal set up on the New Zeland end....then 911 happened and we never got back to that project. At $2,900 a pop to ship...I bet you could rent some rides cheaper over here in the USA.

Good Luck!

Not sure where you're looking, but here are a few that offer trike rentals...

We might look at doing the same. Will save me having to convert to left hand ride.
