Any one have any experience shipping vehicles, specifically motorcycles? I've got a bike that I bought in NC and need to get it to CO. It's a project bike, so I'm trying to do it as cheaply as possible and since it's all going to get repainted, I'm not all that worried about it getting scuffed up.

I don't know about the price of shipping, but I do know it's more than the price of gas and a sleeping bag.

Amtrak has trains that let you bring your vehicle along for the ride.

If it is that old 350 in the pics I concur. Get your butt out to NC and ride it back (perfect season coming up), ship it with a carrier (more expensive), or pay someone to ride it out. SOMETIMES you can find a moving company that happens to have room and is looking to fill it. I use uship.com when I have something I don't want to or can't move myself

unfortunately, the bike isn't in running condition, and I don't have the time off to take that trip even if it was.

this appears to be the route for that train. Not really going to get me to Colorado.

I've never used them for a non-move, but Mayflower advertise s a stand-alone automobile shipping service.
