The examples of situations in which it is necessary to hire motorcycle shipping services include when a bike has been sold and delivery to the buyer's address is part of the after-sales services, when the bike’s owner is relocating or when they would like to attend a biking event. Additional situations which require such services to be hired include when the weather conditions are not favorable for riding, when a bike is being salvaged or being taken to the mechanic for repairs or maintenance checks.
