The shipping options are water transport, rail transport, road transport and air transport. The delivery options are terminal-to-terminal service and door-to-door service.
Preparation of a motorcycle for shipping
The motorcycle ought to be in good condition before it is shipped. This can be done by doing the following activities: checking the engine, the level of the fluids and the tire pressure, if the bike will be in running condition. You would also have to write down the specifics as to how the bike should be handled and if it has any known faults so as to make it easier for the moving company to operate it. The additional preparation activities to be done are cleaning the bike, ensuring that there is no dirt on its body or mud stuck in the tires, inspecting it and taking photos of it from different angles. You should also ensure that the maximum level of the gas in the tank is a quarter of the total capacity. The other tasks you will be required to do are removing your motorcycle accessories. Shipping the bike in a crate will require you to do additional activities; draining the fluids and disconnecting the battery.
