Question: Hi, do you still need this shipped? Thanks (11/26/2007)
Response: How are things going? I understand you picked up the bike Friday. (12/10/2007)
Response: I have to be in TX sometime tomorrow. (11/26/2007)
Response: Wow, then there is really no chance as you need to be leavving soon. Do you make this trip often? maybe we could schedule it for next week or after. You have been very understanding so i would like to use you if at all possible.

Response: I'm on my way to Miami now to drop off a couple of bikes. Then back to Sebring. It seems that I am always going to TX. I should move half way. If my bid is accepted, dates are always flexible for me. Thanks. KLCM (11/26/2007)
Response: So in reality, you could be in Melbourne later today to pick up the bike? I will try to contact the seller and see if she will let the bike go and coordinate payment at a later date. I am sure I could get her the money before you actually make it to Houston. Sorry this is so confusing. It all started because she doesn't want to eat the 3% PayPal takes off of transactions. (11/26/2007)
Response: Yes, I can be there today. If you get her bank # you could just deposit it into her acct. Do you want me to rebid. I have to get on the road, and the phone # listed is my home # not my cell. No way to contact me while I'm on the road, unless you have my cell #. (11/26/2007)
Response: If you have time that would be great. I can't seem to get a hold of her but I will continue to try this afternoon. (11/26/2007)
Response: Are you going to wait to get hold of her, before you accept a bid? (11/26/2007)
Response: Are you still out there? (12/11/2007)
Response: No problem, I'll just have to catch you next trip. Thanks and good luck with all this. (11/26/2007)
Response: Is there any place I could leave the bike with you next Saturday until you have a chance to get over to Houston? I am planning on flying in to Orlando checking out the bike and if all is as it is said, I will pay for it then. Instead of leaving it with the people and having you come later, I would rather let you take possesion until you have a chance to get to Texas. Your thoughts? (11/28/2007)
Response: I have to deliver a bike in Key West this Saturday along with some other things. Let me think on it. KLCM (11/29/2007)
Response: You're back. How was your trip to Texas? Not sure what I have shared with you but I now have a place to strore the bike for a little while at least near the airport in Orlando. (11/29/2007)
Response: No, I'm not back, just stopped in a rest area real quick. I'm in Scroggins TX., on my way to ALA to drop a bike off. I'll be back tomorrow. Before I bid on a shipment, I try to put a trip together, so I will have an idea when, where, etc. I'll go ahead and re-bid. I have to get going. (11/29/2007)
Question: Shipper, live in Melbourne. Putting together next run. Will be able to store your bike and take it with next run. If this is acceptable, let us know. Thx, Steve0061 (11/28/2007)
Response: Are you KLCM? Also it looks like I have a place to store the bike near the airport in Orlando so that is where the pick up will need to take place. When do you think you will be heading to Texas next? (11/28/2007)
Response: Not KLCM. Putting load together now. steve0061 (11/28/2007)
Response: Have you even bid on my shipment? I sort of agreed to use another person but I can't seem to track them down now. (11/28/2007)
Response: No, have not bid yet. Since you have already agreed with someone else, I wont bid. Good luck with shipment. Hope to work for you in the future. thx steve0061 (11/28/2007)
Response: I have not accepted any bids but have just been talking to someone and they have gone silent since last week. I am planning on picking up the bike Saturday and storing it in our warehouse in Orlando until someone can pick it up. The sooner the better. If you are planning a trip to Texas soon, I will be more than happy to look at your offer. Have a great day. MC (11/29/2007)
Response: Thank you for the response. We are in the process of putting our route together for next trip through Texas. We will formally bid in a couple of days. I am pretty sure we can meet or come close to your target price. Thanks for the consideration. Steve0061 (11/29/2007)

Response: The bike will be in Orlando for pick-up now. Ready to go Saturday. I can leave it in our company's warehouse by the airport for a few days at least. Do you have a time/date when you can pick up? I have not accepted a bid but have had discussions with 2 shippers.

Mark (11/29/2007)
Response: We're thinking in the neighborhood of Tuesday/Weds next week, I'll be able to give you an exact date by this weekend. My bid would be around $482. Fully enclosed motorcycle trailer, we use soft ties for all contact points and ratchet straps to hold the bike down, with wheel chocks to keep it steady. Let us know if this is alright for you, and we'll place a formal bid. Thanks! (11/29/2007)
Response: I already have several bids at $350 and $375. I could even do it though work for under $200 but they want me to crate/wrap the bike. Thanks though. (11/29/2007)
Response: If we can lower our rate at all for you, I'll be sure to let you know. Good luck! (11/29/2007)
Response: Thank you. I've been saving forever for this type of bike so my boss (wife) is making me trip expenses where I can. I should just ride it back but don't have the time. Oh, I could trade you buddy passes :) I work for Continental Airlines. (11/29/2007)
Question: Hey, I'm on line gonna get a couple of hours sleep, when I can relax a little. Made any decisions? (11/29/2007)
Response: I am flying out to Orlando in the morning then will put the bike at Continental's warehouse and hope someone can pick it up soon thereafter. Since the pick up zip code is no longer Melbourne should I resubmit my request on UShip? (11/30/2007)
Response: Hi, I'm back from key west also. My Mama is in the Hosp. in ORL so I could pick up almost any time. I'm going to be there it seems a lot for a few days. I can bring it back to my place at no extra charge, while I put together a trip. Hope you made it here and back ok, KLCM (12/2/2007)
Response: I am back but am now excited about getting the bike here. Sorry to hear about your Mom. Mine passsed almost 2 years ago with a long illness - sucks. Anyway, I appreciate that you can pick it up as our warehouse is pretty crowded. When do you think you might me heading this way. PS I don't want you to leave your Mom if it is bad. You will pregret it. I was fortunate to be there with her. (12/3/2007)
Response: I can pick it up this week and I plan on leaving again for TX the following week if all goes well with my Mom. (12/3/2007)
Question: Will somebody at the warehouse help be push it on the trailer? thanks (11/30/2007)
Response: That should not be a problem. Should I leave the key with them so that you can ride it up or do you like to just not have that additional element? (11/30/2007)
Response: Yes, I'd like to have the key. Will make the decision to ride or push while at the loading site. Would like to have at least one other guy there for safety sake. Also need a guy at unloading in Tx (probably you). I can pick it up during business hours Monday, the 3rd, if all that works. thanks, Jim (11/30/2007)
Response: Sorry, I didn't get this until I got back to work Monday. Can you rebid? It would be great if you could pick up today or even tomorrow. (12/3/2007)
Question: sounds like scheduling problems, i have a truck in florida that could pick that up although it is not the truck that would deliver, storage would be no charge, final delivery would be between the 15th and 30th of January, with a 24 to 48 hr. delivery notice, let us know and we will place a formal bid, $600, Matthew, FBT (11/30/2007)
Question: Do you have any idea when you are going to make up your mind? KLCM (12/3/2007)
Response: Tomorrow at the latest. I hope your Mom improves quickly. (12/3/2007)
Response: OK, and thanks. I'd just like to get my ducks in a row, as soon as possible, so I don't have to worry about business too. Thanks again. (12/3/2007)
Response: Understand. Thank you for your patience. (12/3/2007)
