The cheap way is Forward Air. www.forwardair.com. They only serve certain cities but are cheap. Call them for a quote. The shipper will have to be "forward air friendly" and crate and drop it off at the terminal. It is a no brainer for dirt bikes but is not too good for big street bikes. Federal Allied is the easy way, have it picked up at a business, your house (more money), or ride it up to the Allied terminal. Have it dropped at any of the 3. Pay thru the nose We are talking 5-700 for a big bike. Take a look in your AMA magazine for Federal Allied's ad and use your AMA discounted rate with them. Leo in Houston.

Speaking of which, last Monday I earned my motorcycle endorsement after 20+ years of riding and 3 road accidents. One of which was my fault. (slipped on sand) I fully expect to receive 95% fewer accidents. Glenn Tompkins A13 -- In DSN_klr650@y..., RM wrote:
