Shipping Companies

Exactly! Even worse on a Ducati, where the stand is bolted to the engine case. One of my shipping disasters was using Federal (Fun Movers) and a Ducati Multistrada. The idiots strapped it down agains the side stand. Luckily the plywood pallet had just enough give to prevent the engine case from cracking. The same morons used the handlebars as attach point for their straps (instead of the forks) and ruined the paint on the fuel tank. When I filed a $2500 damage claim, they said it was all "preexisting damage" which is what they WILL ALWAYS CLAIM no matter how many photos you take prior to shipping. In the end, we settled for $1000 and that was like pulling teeth. Motorcycle owner beware!

NEVER use Federal!
 
Text Rick Dion with V-Twin Express. Both Longbeach BMW and myself at BMW Detroit uses them for all of our dealership transports. Excellent company. 602-791-9297
