Check with the transport company to ensure they use a specialist motorbike trailer for the safest delivery. One major drawback to this type of transport is that your bike is exposed to the elements throughout its journey.


ALTERNATE METHODS

Covered trailers are an option and might offer more protection than the standard open trailer. This generally involves a larger vehicle like a van or lorry with a tail lift facility to handle loading and unloading. Some man and van companies have the hardware ready to secure the bike during transit, but are typically used for shorter trips.

A third method involves hiring someone to ride the motorcycle on your behalf. This can work out to be much more expensive than the former two options, with added wear and tear on the bike, not to mention the aspect of added mileage.


Comparable Alternate Option?


Specialist lorries designed to transport motorbikes can carry multiple vehicles at once. The motorbikes are secured by modern methods to keep them stable during transit. If covered trailers pose logistical challenges for you, you could use the 'just ride it' service with peace of mind about the best prices from using motorbike-friendly transport firms.
