So I have a buyer in Texas for a bike I have. I have shipped multiple bikes across the US but the two shippers ived used stopped doing bikes. So does anyone have any recommendations? My last bike that went to Texas was $300 so looking to stay around that price. Thanks

Keyboard carriage ships bikes all over the country.
I know they are a piano shipping company but the owner wanted his personal bike sent to Sturgis and found that many others were willing to pay him for that service and now it has turned into a big part of his business.
I have helped unload many pianos off of their semis and it seems they ship more bikes now than pianos. I have seen sonme very cool antique bikes.
Not sure what they charge for a bike but here is the info

Shipped a bike from Texas to CA using Forward Air. They had a bike shipping platform to tie the bike down and went flawless.

I've used Patriot Express Global, based in Houston. They specialize in bikes.
The service is only as good as the driver, and all these brokers use independent drivers. Some are better than others.
There's a guy based in Arizona who is real good with the bikes. His number is at my office- ask me on Monday if you need it.

By the way, I don't crate the bikes- it's a waste of time for me.

So the buyer called moto shippers and they are out of the office until the 15th and currently the lowest bid on getting the bike from Socal to Texas is $500
