My buddy just got a great deal on a softail springer (01) on ebay... it is located in Seattle Washington... i live outside of chicago... anyone have any exp with any shipping companies... HOG says they will ship it anywhere in the US for just under 700 and i listed the bike info on a shpping bidding web site... just figured i would check here as well

 

Come on shirtless Joe,
The answer is easy
Hop a flight to WA, and ride it home.
How else will you know how it handles?

 

ah ha ha NO WAY! i would never ride a bike that i have not been able to go over that far... i am going to get this for him give it a full inspection, tighen everything down, full tune up, then ride it... can never trust an bike from somethign like that... i once bought a CB from a guy in STL... looked great was in awesome shape... i was 19 so i figured hey I will ride it home! got to about 48mph front bearing locked up, front tire stopped spinning, and I WENT FLYING! thank god i went into a corn field and only had some minor injuries... but i learned a lesson that day... the only person i trust to give a bike the OK to ride... is ME...

 

Better do it quick the price of diesel over 4.00 a gallon. And +1 on the going over your own bike.

 

Did a search on here and found this guy praising this company "ID Transport". said they secured real good and saved them $125.00. Good Luck I would be nervous as hell until it was in my garage.

 

CANT HELP YA BUT GOOD LUCK!!

 

IT MIGHT BE CHEAPER TO DRIVE OUT THERE AND PICK IT UP ......

 

theres actaully a company called shipmybike.com, i used them to ship my bike from Seattle back to Hawaii..

 

Try Forwardair

 

Just recently purchased a car from Ebay and had it shipped from Sacramento, CA to Dallas. I used DAS (Dependable Auto Shippers) here in the Dallas metroplex. Their phone # 800-826-1083. They told me about 2 weeks, but I got the car in about a week. They washed it before and after loading. The person I spoke with their is Phil Mann. I believe he told me that they have a relationship with Harley when they ship their bikes.
