Title: Shipping an FJ
Post by: JPaganel on October 12, 2014, 03:13:21 PM
So, suppose I find an FJ to replace the one I crashed, but it's elsewhere in the country.

The obvious solution is to get a plane ticket to wherever it is and ride it back, but I might not necessarily have the needed amount of time off available. Anybody ever deal with shipping an FJ? Googling for motorcycle shipping provides results that are somewhere between confusing and exasperating.

So srry to hear u crash one of our beloved fj's.... The best advice I have for u would be to find a local shipping company close to where the bike is and have them give u a quote...

On other sites I have seen people mention uship.com.  You enter start and end locations and transport companies bid for the job.

Two others mentioned were Keyboard and haulbikes.com
