Default Motorcycle Carrier Recommendation

Good mornin', Guys.

Prior to going to the internet; I'm hoping that some of you maybe able to assist me in finding a vehicle transporter.
I need to move a motorcycle from the east to the west coast.
I would much prefer to accept another riders advice than believe is advertised on the internet.
Oh by the way; If you know of one NOT to use then please let me know that as well.

TX
Ride In Peace

I used AAA Transport. Bike was shipped from Naples, Florida to Saskatchewan, Canada. Great price $1,200CDN. And the bike was delivered in A1 shape! It rides strictly on a bike shipping pallet (Not in an enclosed box), but had no problems. Great to work with! Good Luck!

I don't know any carriers. But I do have some advice. I detail bikes and a customer had me detail his bike when he got back home from Florida. He used a motorcycle carrier he all ways used in the past. When he got the bike back the windshield was off and the screws were missing.

When I got the bike I started to take the seat off. The hold down screw that holds the seat to fender was gone and the fender had a deep scratch in it. All the bolts holding the trunk were loose.

They removed parts from his bike so they could fit other bikes in the trailer.

Make sure what ever carrier you use, they put it in writing. They will not pull off any parts so they can fit other bikes in the trailer. If they say they can't do that. Walk away.
