Bike transportation

Post by niggle »

I need to arrange collection of bike from Keighley Yorkshire to Redruth Cornwall. I have had one quote from Moving Motorcycles of £195 + VAT (=£234) and am awaiting a quote from another lot. Has anyone got a particular recommended motorcycle transport company?

EDIT: I’ve just put the job on Shiply so will hang fire until I have had a few quotes from there as well, Anyvan instantly quoted £277.

I used Moving Motorcycles to shift 3 bikes from Lincoln to MK...£150 each cause they were a bundle.

Can't fault them, they did exactly as their name implies! Turned up on time, polite, very careful with the bikes. They have dedicated vans with 'racks'.

Deffo go with a specialised bike transporter. I bought a bike from a dealer in Edinburgh and it came down bungeed to the side of a big arcade games consul and rubbing up against a settee on the other side. Marks-a-plenty! :roll:
