Located in the northwestern part of Pennsylvania, Erie shares a beautiful coastline with the lake it is named after. Close to other major cities, Erie has a lot to catch your attention. Motorcyclists love having the freedom of cruising on the long roads along the shore of Lake Erie and a ton of different things to do within the area.
To have a bike hauled to Erie contact several companies within the area. There will be plenty of trustworthy companies to choose from, and having it moved to the city is much safer than trying to take it there yourself. Luckily, hauling is rather inexpensive and easy to take advantage of.
Hauling Tips and Advice.
When you have finally selected a company, ask them what methods that they have to offer. Some of the methods are best chosen for shorter distances of travel and favorable weather and road conditions.
The open-air option leaves it open to the possibility of all elements. The motorcycle is placed on top of a flatbed trailer for its delivery. If the road conditions or weather isn’t favorable, the bike could be subjected to minor damage. However, this is a cheaper method and many companies will offer insurance during the process.
Enclosed and crated methods are among the top two most popular choices. These methods both ship within an enclosed container. Crated method is a bit more detailed and will require a bit more preparation, but it is the safest form.
