There are motorcycle specific movers and then there are furniture movers that will include a bike in the moving van. Check the AMA's web site at www.amadirectlink.com for more info. I had my bike (s) shipped from Southern Cal to Tulsa, Oklahoma for a very reasonable price, and they arrived undamaged.
