Shipping a bike intersate

Looking to ship the Gixxy down from Brisbane to Melbourne and would like any
suggestions on the companies anyone has tried. I've pushed the ride-down
issue to the point of frustration but my olds wont budge. I've googled (the
ng and around) but not fully satisfied so I thought I'd give this a go.
I'd appreciate any suggestions...

 

Tell them you are catching the train then just ride down. Once you arrive
there isn't much they can do about it is there? It can't have been anywhere
near as dangerous as they reckon if you made it down safe and sound...

For added effect meet them at the train station.

Id have to say riding down is almost as safe as flying.. and the way NSW rail is
the trains are a risk :_)

 

Pestering people for work

 

We're going to be driving....

I want to pass as did my grandfather in his sleep..

Nope.. Would do Nightfil over IT anyday.. The only Info Tech I use in in CAE

 

Why would I want to? It sounds old and smelly

 

These Queenslanders, they come to our state expecting Engineering ...

(you could get a job designing number-plate brackets for Ducks!)

pay for my airfare and I'll ride it down for you

 

Bikes Only, talk to Kurt Johnston, Springwood is the Bris depot.
Depot to depot is cheapest, Melb depot close to CBD.
call 07-3219 7000 fax 07-3219 7122.
They're a Brissie mob, covered transport only (Fergusson is sometimes using
open trailers; just got a bike from a mate in Adelaide, 800km on open
trailer through the road muck and rain, gosh...what a mess it was).
Bris to Melb should be cheaper than the other way around, since main traffic
goes south-to-north.

TB,

I use Darryl Savory of Cycle Trans - 0413 760 850 He does regular Bris
to Melb trips using a covered truck. Has done work for my clients when
I'm shipping bikes to New Zealand and back and they have all been
happy with the service and the condition of their bikes on arrival.
He's fully insured although your bike is probably covered whilst in
transit anywhere in Australia as part of your Fully Comp policy.

Kind regards

Thanks for all the advice. Now I've got to make sure the olds send it down.

 

i got a gsxr11 shipped from brizzy to melb last week by a company in micham
melbourne, not good, open truck, bike was absolutely COVERED in dirt
....filthy. and the side stand was bent where they had strapped it down.
spend some time checking a company out.

 

What was the name of the company who sent your GSXR11 from Brissie to
Melb?

Kind regards
Dave Milligan

 

**** Melbourne's not as far as Karuah-and-back and you did that without cra... umm... err... how much is the
train?

 

They make wildlife wear numberplates down there?!!?

 

Trouble is it'd be over $300 in airfare, petrol and accom so he may as well ship it and save the tyre wear....

 

as well ship it and save the tyre wear....


shut up Clem!!!!!
