Shipping Methods
Most of the motorcycles, especially the vintage ones are crated before there are shipped to prevent dings and dents. However, if you are on a stringent budget, you can opt for RORO where the motorcycle is secured on the deck with a lot of other vehicles. The tires are immobilized in the metal plates and the rest is harnessed in place. The 1/4th fuel in tank or little less than that is needed to drive it up and down the ramps. While if you need more security when it is shipped, container shipping is the apt decision. You have the option of shipping it along with other vehicles in a large container or hiring your own and shipping it. The shared container is the cheaper option. We can help you with all shipping requirements.
