my motorcycle broke down in the middle of nowhere texas and instead of paying $600 towing to the closest bmw dealer, i decided to just have the bike transported back to tucson, so i wouldnt be stranded while my bike was being fixed. found a reputable shipper on this site who would ship from pecos, tx to tucson, az for $300 and they used an enclosed trailer. all around, i think it was the best of a bad situation.
