It's for my brother and he was hoping it could be picked up before next Wednesday. However, if it can't be done prior to that, the guy selling it will be gone until March 11. How much do you want to for shipping?

Response: Hello sir,
Your ratings are great. I appreciate that you are a professional at what you do. My brother wants to wait a day or two to see if someone can pick up the bike before next Wednesday Feb. 28. If not, you are likely the carrier will will use. Please be patient for a couple days to see what happens. I'll let you know either way.
Thank you, David Harris (2/21/2008)
Response: thank you David, I do pride my self in what I do, and I try to do the very best that I can possibly do,, I do fully understand that you wont to get the bike in a time frame that suits all involved, and at a with-in reason rate!.!.

Question: Hello - would shipper place & secure bike to suitable skid / long pallet or even crate it for common carrier service? ... THX (2/21/2008)
Response: I am expecting one more bid today. If it's okay, I'll let you know by the end of today. You have impressive feedback.
Thank you for your bid and God Bless, David Harris (2/22/2008)
Response: Understand & do thank you for the complement ... however, if you do get a service offer for bike to handled as a "roller" in a suitably enclosed trailer then I would certainly consider ... as an alternate option, and for common carrier service, bike would have to be "packaged up"; that is carrier must be able to handle as "palletized or skidded" freight ... regardless of who you use, would also suggest you get a primary coverage insurance rider ... Thanks for replying ... (2/22/2008)
Response: I assume from your email that yo do not require skidded, palletized, etc? Also, how does payment work? Do you accept COD? (2/22/2008)
Response: I see in reading my previous response, it could have been easily miss-understood; what I meant to say was that if you do get a suitable offer to handle the bike as a "roller", then that would be a good offer for you to consider ... I on the other hand for common carrier service could not accept it unless skidded or crated ... it is a very nice looking bike!!! (2/22/2008)
