My daughter and I have Honda Shadow motorcycles. Problem is, she lives in Chicago and I live in Florida. We don't get to ride together much. Last time she was down here to visit, I rented her a Harley for 5 days to take a trip to the Keys with me. The rental cost more than shipping her bike down here!!! Winter's in Chicago are not conducive to riding, so I talked her into shipping her bike (which is newer and bigger than mine) down here for the season. She will visit. We will ride!! And, of course, when she's not here, I'll have to ride her bike every once in a while to keep it in optimum shape. It's a dirty job, but someone's gotta do it!! I set out to find a shipper and just happened upon Uship. What a cool concept!!! Who would have thought so many competitive bids would follow the very same day I posted. We chose Gary at Duck Egg Express to bring the bike down for a few reasons. First of all, Duck Egg???? Secondly, my daughter and Gary were both in the millitary, so they have some sort of instant bond. Third, how could you not pick him with all that positive feed-back?? He says what he'll do and does what he says!! It has been a great experience all around!!
