So youve found a new job

So youve found a new job. Congratulations! But its on the other side of the country. Okay. Auto transport may not be the first thing on your mind. You have to sell your old homeor get out of your apartment leaseand arrange for a furniture mover. Youre going to drive your car yourself and your motorcycleoh. You dont have a hitch on your car to tow it. You dont have a friend whos willing to drive it across the country. The moving company wont ship it with your personal belongings. You need a professional auto transport service that can handle moving your precious bike. What do you do?

First, do a little research. Like many other services these days, auto transport provides a world of options. Check with your friends or your local Better Business Bureau to find a carrier that has the expertise to move your motorcycle. Make sure they offer closed transportan enclosed trailerto keep your motorcycle safe from the weather and road hazards. They should secure your bike inside a crate or to a pallet that is the appropriate size for your particular bike. Verify, too, that the auto transport service can offer the appropriate insurance to cover the value of your make and model of motorcycle because not all bikes are created equal. Ensure, too, that drivers for the carrier are experienced at moving motorcycles.

Okay, so youve chosen an auto transport service that can handle your motorcycle move. Youve arranged a pickup date and time as well the details for delivery at the destination. Now its time to prepare the bike for its big move. The auto transport service will probably give you a checklist of instructions to follow to get the bike ready. That list should include at least the following steps.

Empty the fuel tank

Drain the oil

Lock down the battery

Remove or fold in the mirrors

Unlock the steering

Remove the saddlebags

Empty the storage areas

Inspect the bike, making note of any scratches or dents

Make sure you have the ownership title and/or registration

When the auto transport driver loads your motorcycle, make sure you keep your ignition key. Small items like that often have a way of disappearing. Then step back and let the auto transport do its job. If you need it, they should be able to track the bike as it makes its way safely to its destination.
