resolved, nice ride on a Honda Pacific Coast.
« on: July 15, 2013, 10:16:21 PM »
I offered to rescue Momo's honda until he can work out a new shipper. A 20 to 30 mile one way trip. I just looked at one on you tube and thought, holy hell, what can you tie it down with? Everything is covered with bodywork, even the handlebars.

Has anyone hauled one or have ideas on how to do so without rubbing something painted or plastic with the tie downs? I've got lots of straps and tie points on the trailer, even a front wheel/tire chock but few ideas.

Which also raises the question how did the first shipper do it when he showed up with no ramps and three tie downs?

I have heard some good horror stories with Uship and after watching a few minutes of that shipping show it confirmed my fears and prejudices.

That's what I was thinking too. The show tells a lot, it's a coin toss whether you get a good shipper or some goof. I'm hoping it all goes well from here on.

I shipped my cb from Columbus Oh to Ferndale Wa with a reputable Bike shipper,took a while but my bike was fine. I'm one of the lucky ones I'm sure. I wish I remember the company.
