Door to Door
The best way to ensure your Harley Davidson has a safe journey is to schedule convenient door-to-door shipping. Most motorcycle carriers will arrange to pick your bike up right at your door or as close to it as possible when you schedule service.
If the carrier is unable to coordinate a pickup on your road, the driver will work with you to schedule pickup at a location as near your home or office as possible. This will most often be in a nearby parking lot where the truck can easily turn around once the bike has been loaded.
When the Motorbike is delivered, the driver will again try to deliver to your door or as close as possible if the roadway and circumstances allow delivery at your address. If not, they will again arrange to meet in a nearby parking lot where the motorcycle can be unloaded safely.
Insurance for Your Bike Transit Services
When you ship a motorcycle, the shipper will offer insurance to cover it during transport. Typically, your personal motorcycle insurance will not cover the bike during shipment. Depending on the overall value of your bike, you may want to ask for an increase to the minimum insurance coverage offered.

This can be done by contacting the FMCSA with the transporter's insurance certificate number, and you can verify that the coverage is valid.

Simple Steps to Prepare Your Motorbike for Cargo
- Clean your Harley from top to bottom, even if it is only shipping across town.
- Take detailed pictures and save the files until delivery has been made.
- Write down any scratches, dents or other cosmetic damage before it is loaded.
- Make sure the battery is charged.
- Check the tyre pressure to ensure they are properly inflated.
- Check to see that the fuel level is around a quarter tank for shipment.
- Check for leaks and repair them if you find any. Many drivers will not load a bike with fluid or fuel leaks.
Unless you are moving internationally, you will most likely ship your Harley on a trailer, where it will be strapped down for delivery. For overseas motorcycle shipping, you may want to consider having it crated or placed in a container for shipment to prevent it from damage from contact with other motorcycles, automobiles, or even vandals along the way. In cases where the bike must be created, you must drain all fluids and disconnect the battery before it is created.
For international moves, ensure your Harley Davidson is in good mechanical condition before it is shipped. It can be difficult, or even impossible, to locate replacement parts for a motorbike overseas. Be sure to check into your resources ahead of the move to be prepared if you need a part or a repair on the bike once it has been shipped.
