Fly and ride or rent a car one way.

Sounds like a u-ship type of deal.

I have used u-ship once, for a parts bike. Everything worked out fine but I didn't have to worry about scratches or dings. That's a ballsy move for a Bimota.

You gotta look at the bidders...some use open trailers (NOT) some use enclosed trailers, some enclosed trucks.... some blanket wrap for fee, some use enclosed trucks....somebody bids, you gotta tell em what your looking for as far as care and price.....Forward Air is a bidding member, (they've bid on every bike I've posted, but they are usually the highest)...but their feedback is no better than any of the other good guys.....so it just depends on what you want....
