Just doing some long range research on national bike transportation services for a possible upcoming house move. Pickup from Wiltshire but drop off not yet decided... ho hum. It'll be for two bikes, the Darmah & V-Raptor, but I'd also want the option of storage to ease logistics. Any recommendations?
I had a good enough relationship with my dealer for him to pick up and deliver my two bikes to my new home 130 miles away
Lots of cities have short term storage places these days, so perhaps thats solution combined with a van rental? Mind you, if you are moving somewhere nice, you might be able to get one of us to ride a beautiful Darmah there for you? I'd like first dibs on a St Ives move in June/ July/ August?
Make sure you do your research on the storage facility, I have a mate who had his £60k camper nicked from a 'secure storage'. I used a shipping container (they exist in many different sizes) for a couple of years.
After a brief google search a couple of dealers names did come up so even though I haven't bought from a dealer for 20 years that might be an option to consider. With things as they are dealers might be looking at other revenue streams and they're ideally set up for such a service. I'm thinking I'll only need storage for summat like a week or so just to tide me over the moving & settling in period.
Have looked in to the container option myself but not sure about the condensation element. How did you find it?
Never had an issue with it. I found the container the best solution by far. Super secure on a hyper locked and camera-ed compound.
