Methods of Transport
- Open Air Shipping- this method consists of putting the bike on top of a flatbed trailer. While this is a cheaper method of shipping, it dopes leave the bike open to all weather and road conditions during its transport.
- Enclosed Shipping- this method of transport is safer. The bike is placed within an enclosed container.
- Crated Shipping- this is the safest form of transport and it consists of strapping the bike to a wooden pallet after the battery has been disconnected and the fluids have been drained. It is then slid into a small container for its transport.
- Terminal to Terminal- the bike will need to be dropped off at a transport terminal and retrieved at another one in Chicago, IL. This is cheaper than door to door, but can become inconvenient if the terminal is not near you.
- Door to Door- the motorcycle is retrieved directly from wherever it is at and dropped off at any address you need it to be in Chicago.

The Requirements that Must be Met Prior to Shipping
- Check all fluids, the battery and the tire pressure.
- Make sure that the fuel tank is no more than a ¼ full.
- Remove anything on the bike that is loose.
- Document and take pictures of any preexisting damage.
- Wash the motorcycle and make sure it is clean of all dirt and debris.
- Disable the alarm system if your bike has one.
