Moving and storage of motorcycles

Does anybody know of a moving and storage company in the East
Bay (Oakland or thereabouts) which will move and store motorcycles
along with household good? It would be a huge convenience to have
everything handled in one truckload. I gather most storage houses
do not accept vehicles, allegedly because of the fuel

With luck the storage interval will be short enough (month or less)
that no special prep will be needed.

Thanks for reading!

I think Allied will.

 

I don't know if it's changed, but I've shipped a bike along with the
household goods w/o any prep at all. I think they charged me $60 for
the privilage, in addition to the weight. A friend shipped his car in
the moving van... I've had the impression that it's rather common.

BTW, the magic words are "storage in transit", meaning that you give them
the goods for transport and they hold them until delivery.

z!

 

Curiously, the storage folks don't seem too picky, they'll let me
leave reserve fuel in the bikes. The mover insists they be dry.

Which leaves a question: How to drain a fuel-injected bike? I seem
to recall that it's bad practice to run the fuel pumps dry. Anybody
know if that's true?

Looked at the site, couldn't find the term. Where is it?

thanks for your help!
