    Shipping a 500ie

    Does anyone have suggestions on freight companies that will ship a Beo from California to Massachussets? And how much should that cost?

    Golfnut, A friend used these guys to ship his Harley. They came out and put it on a pallet, covered it, then shipped it in an enclosed truck. You can get a quote by puting in the zip codes.

    I had my BV500 shipped from Savage, MN to Cleveland, OHio for $375 last year by:

    Bob Brotzman [hasslefreemovers@gmail.com].

    Bob had an enclosed trailer (like a long horse trailer) pickup and deliver. No pallets as it had a wheel chock and strap hooks - all set up for motorcycles. Delivered right to my door. They have a cheaper transport on the back of a semi but it's open to the weather.

    I am totally loving it. 2K miles in 2 months. And we've had a very mild start to the year weatherwise...
