Additional Information: am very flexible! I hope to have this picked up by Nov. 29th 2007. It is in rough shape and I don't mind if it is hauled on an open trailer and exposed to rain or snow. I can meet you at my shop to receive it 24 hrs a day if that helps keep the cost down. I own this and it is not an auction item that I need to win! It rolls freely but won't start. I don't mind if you pick it up, store it a bit in order to consolidate loads to make your travel most efficient with gas prices the way they are. Timeframe: as long as you get it to me in Ohio by February. I am being super flexible because I want a low price. I have a truck, ramps, and a cell phone and can even meet you right at an interstate exit if that keeps you rolling and the costs down. I also may have cargo for you to pick up when you get here. I usally have 3--4 motorcycles that need picked up East of the Mississippi at any one given time and hope to do repeat business with a reliable transporter. We can use Uship to meet but hopefully do business for years to come. -Joe Report a Violation

Response: Joe I will keep the two I have mailed about on my watch list and will check in to see how it's going. As for the N.Y. shipment I appreciate the heads up and I did see it when I visited your profile I just don’t do NYC or the boroughs or the shores it just doesn't pay. If it were upstate I'd be a player. Thanks again Ron (11/8/2007)
Response: I understand Ron. Thanks for the interest and keep in touch. -Joe (11/9/2007)

Response: Hello Joe, I will be in Chicago Tuesday, thought mabey you wanted to get bike shipped. Thanks anyway. If you change your mind my bid is still good until Sunday. SamB37917 (11/8/2007)
Response: I now need two identical GT380 Suzukis moved from Gaslena IL to Chesterland OH. They ove the same pick up location and the same drop off spot. There will be someone at each end to help load and help unload. They will be ready for pick up after Wednesday Nov. 14th. You don't need to tarp these and I am patient for the delivery. I will also meet you 24/7 at the receiving end. How much per bike could you do it for? Also, if you have a run coming up from florida, I have a listing for a bike in cartersville ga 30120 up for bid too. Thank you. -joe (11/10/2007)
Response: Thanks for your response. I will be in Chicago Monday or Tuesday. How far are you from there? Could probablly do both for $500. Let me know asap. Thanks SamB37917 (11/10/2007)

Question: I am like 10 to 15 miles from your pickup i wondering if you would like for me to pick this up for you? thanks...cttrans (11/8/2007)
Response: I have bought 2 bikes from the seller as of a few minutes ago. (now I need two shipped and not just one) The seller will not release the bikes until they are both paid in full. If I send him a cashiers check it has to clear his bank. Can you wait until early next week? -Joe (11/9/2007)
Response: if you could wire the money it would be better and faster also i would need to know how big the bikes are first (11/9/2007)
Response: the bikes are both 1974 GT 380's. i'm familiar with wire transfers but the guy does not except them. thanks for letting me know your charge per bike joe (11/9/2007)
Question: I will be leaving your area tomorrow evening if you would like for me to haul this let me know asap.thanks..cttrans (11/8/2007)
Response: I am in Ohio and the bike is in Galena IL 61036; I assume you are near the bike and not near me. I will decide soon. Thank you for your patience. -joe (11/9/2007)
Response: yes i am not to far i am trying to make my way home to my family i have stuck out here for over 2 weeks i am not to far from your bike i would like to be able to leave today. (11/9/2007)
Response: I am sorry for the delay; feel free to check back with me. I am negotiating to buy another bike at the same pick up location in IL 61036 so maybe we can haul two bikes at once. I know it makes your job easier when there are multiple bikes with a common pickup location and the same drop off location. Kill two birds with one stone so to speak. -joe (11/9/2007)
Response: how long do you think this will take (11/9/2007)
Response: not too long (11/14/2007)
Question: i can do this for 250 please let me know thanks (11/9/2007)

Question: i can pick up and drop off today for 250 thanks...cttrans (11/9/2007)
Response: I am extreemly patient. You can drop them off in January if you need to. The best offer so far is $300 for two gt380 motorcycles. (11/14/2007)
Question: Hello Joe I will be near your pick-up location on the morning of Sat. the 17th. I will have room in the bed of my Dually if you wouldn't mind it being shipped that way. Bed is 8', what is the length of bike. I will strap it upright at handlebars. Will there be help loading? Let me know if you are interested. I will place a bid of 185- if so. Thank you and hope to hear from you. (11/9/2007)
Response: My needs have increased. Now I actually need two identical GT380 motorcycles picked up in Galena IL and brought to Chesterland OH 44026. Two should fit in the bed of a dually. Sat the 17th will work fine. The bikes will be ready for pick up after Tuesday the 13th of Nov. Let me know my per bike cost when you get a chance, no hurry. Thank you. -joe (11/10/2007)

Question: We can do both for 500 if you can be flexiable on dates. We will be coming home from Mo week of Thanksgiving and headed back north from Tx/Ga area week of 12/3. Would that work for you? (11/11/2007)
Response: The dates would work fine. I am thinking about the price. I may do this myself If I line up another bike. (11/12/2007)
Response: thank you, let us know if we can help,trike (11/12/2007)
Response: ok (11/14/2007)

Question: i can ship this in my fully enclosed trailer. i would pick it up tomm and deliver tomm. let me know asap. thanks also i am confused your profile states u ship so why are u needing this shipped yourself?? (11/11/2007)
Response: What kind of price can you do it for? (per bike) I don't need an enclosed trailer but that is extra nice. As an intelligent businessman, I will always consider my options. I only do shipments myself when I have cargo going both directions with no dead heading. Thanks for bidding. (11/12/2007)
Response: normally my minimum for a bike is $350.00 but for this i can go $280.79 let me know as i will pick it up tomm morning. i need to know tonight as we leave in the morning bright an early. and i will be printing off all the directions tonight. i can do cash on pickup or dropoff in full. no deposit. (11/12/2007)

Question: i guess we aren't a go?? i am starting to work on my printing of the directions. thanks and goodluck, joe (11/12/2007)
Response: Yes, you are right, good luck and drive safe. (11/13/2007)
Response: thanks. we will be passing through where the bike is in roughly 2 hours or less. if u change ure mind. (11/13/2007)
Response: ok thank you (11/14/2007)
Question: HI YOU WERE GOING TO GET AHOLD OF ME TOMORROW BUT I SEE YOU ARE ON DID YOU STILL WANT US TO PICK UP THE TWO BIKES LEAVING TOMORROW DOTHEDOUGH (11/12/2007)
Response: If you have any orther runs near Galena IL, I am patient and encourage you to bid again. I still need this shipped. (11/14/2007)
Question: Hi Joe! how many Cycle do you have to be shipped? I can get this picked up for you next week around thanksgiving and bring to you within 1 or 2 weeks probably a lot sooner would need to find something else coming that way to keep the cost low. Since you are willing to wait until I can get more freight going that way, I could do this for close to $180.00. Randy (11/13/2007)
Response: I have two identical GT380s. Both are at the same pick up location and same drop off location. Please describe your truck or trailer (open, inclosed) and where you would store the two bikes while you are waiting for more freight. I am very very interested at 180 each if you submit a bid I will accept it. (11/14/2007)
Response: I have a 45ft open air car trailer with a solid deck(Not open down the center)I would pickup the day after thanksgiving and I have a shed that I can keep them in with my Quad runner! However I don't believe it would take long to get up that way and probably would deliver within a couple of days at your convenience. Since they both pickup and deliver to the same place I would not charge you $180.00 a piece. it would only be $180 for one and $90.00 for the other. Thank you, Randy (11/14/2007)
Response: Please bid $90 or $180 now if possible. (11/14/2007)
Question: HI WOULD THIS BE AS WE HAD DISCUSSED DOTHEDOUGH (11/14/2007)
Question: WE WILL BE BACK THREW WEEK BEFORE CHRISTMAS (11/14/2007)
Question: if there is a third one from same or close location(as in 20 or so miles), we could do all three with price only increaded 50. (11/14/2007)
