To ship a motorcycle, first choose between an affordable open trailer or a protective enclosed carrier. Prepare the bike by cleaning it, documenting its condition with photos, and reducing the fuel to a quarter tank. After removing loose accessories, you will sign a Bill of Lading with the driver to confirm its current state.
Once the bike arrives, inspect it immediately and note any new damage on the paperwork before the driver leaves to ensure your insurance coverage remains valid.
