Founded in 1988 and based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Haul Bikes provides motorcycle transportation services through a team of transportation veterans comprised of experienced motorcycle enthusiasts. Haul Bikes utilizes a specialized shipping system that protects bikes from wear and tear while ensuring a speedy delivery. You can also help prepare your motorcycle for shipping by considering the following tips.
1. Clean the bike. Give your motorcycle a thorough cleaning before transport, and make sure to scrub off all heavy dirt and soil deposits. Washing it before transport will enable you to examine the bike’s current condition and make notes about it.
2. Review bike’s current condition. Conduct an inspection of your bike and record any current scratches or dents. You can take photographs of the motorcycle to keep a visual record of its current condition.
3. Secure loose parts and accessories. Make sure to secure any parts or accessories that may fall off during transportation. This includes saddlebags, tank bags, and fairings. You may also want to consider removing aesthetic accessories, especially if the transportation company takes no responsibility for them.
4. Check the tires. Check the tires prior to shipping and ensure that each is properly inflated and functioning before shipping.
5. Empty the tank. While doing so not required by all transportation companies, you may want to consider emptying the tank for transport. You may also want to remove the battery to ensure it doesn’t come into contact with high temperatures.
