Response: yes most likely do you know where the best place to find a master pallet or a shipping crate base that would best fit the bike? thanks (5/7/2008)

Response: off hand I would call my local bike / ATV dealer ... or Lowes, HoneDepot, job site, etc ... a long pallet or shipping skid if made up, must be sufficiently large / long enough so as to accommodate the bike as placed & secured with no overhang ... often (2)standard 4-way pallets “strong backed” together as one will work with (4)ratchet tie down straps cross fastened to bike being anchored to pallet stringers ... fuel to be drained down / gas free & battery (if applicable) disconnected ... any additional parts or accessories to be boxed up & also secured to pallet ... local bike dealers will often have used / salvaged crate bases which may be acquired or even they will “palletize” the bike for shipment albeit for a fee which may offset some common carrier accessorial charges as bike would then be coming from (or going to) a business type location ... drop shipping to another dealer is good too as they can “de-crate” the bike & may even give you some credit for the crate base? ...

Response: So I am positive that i will use your services but i have just a few more questions to ask about it. When do you think the bike will arrive and how soon would you want to make the pick up. The bike is being stored at my fathers house so most likely i will have him take it to a motorcycle shop so that they can get it ready for delivery and i know they have the packing materials and what not after all i had them order me the bike. Ok well thank you for you responce and the timely manner in which you conduct your business. BEN HEYS (5/7/2008)

Response: Ben - your follow up query is appreciated .. would estimate 7 business days transit time not including day of pickup ... as far as to how soon bike could be picked up, well that is up to you as this will be done normally within 1-3 days from the date it is ready for shipment ... would agree with you to take it to a local dealer to get prepped, that is if it this would be that much easier for your father that have it done this way ... althought an enduro bike isn't as overly large as compared to a cruiser bike to "palletize" or crate base ... let me know what you decide & will bid accordingly ... thanks for you consideration (5/8/2008)
