Methods of Shipping
- Door to door shipping is when the shipping company comes to the place where the motorcycle is located to retrieve it for shipment. They will then take it to wherever you need it shipped to directly.
- Terminal to terminal shipping includes dropping the bike off at a terminal and retrieving it from another terminal. This is less expensive but can be inconvenient to anyone not near one of the terminals.
- Enclosed shipping is when the motorcycle is placed inside an enclosed trailer for shipment. This keeps the motorcycle safe from any possible harm due to debris on roads, weather conditions and more.
- Open shipping is when the motorcycle is placed on an open trailer. This is a cheaper method of vehicle shipment.
- Crated shipping is quite popular and less costly than many other shipping methods. The motorcycle will need to be drained of all fluids and the battery will need to be disconnected if this is the method you choose.
The Requirements That Must Be Met Prior to Shipment
Prior to sending your motorcycle off for shipment to Rhode Island, one must make sure that all of the requirements are fulfilled. Requirements are standard for all transport methods with the exception of crated shipping.
- All fluids must be checked, as well as the tires' air pressure and the battery.
- The motorcycle mustn't have any loose items attached or anything unnecessary on it.
- Make sure there is no more than a ¼ tank of gas.
- Wash the bike and make sure that there isn't any dirt or debris anywhere.
- Check for any existing damage. Be sure to note any scratches, dents, etc. Take pictures. This will help you to notice if any further damage to the bike was done during shipping after it reaches its destination point.
- If there is an alarm system, make sure that it is disabled.
