        If that's the case, you will probably have to build a wooden crate to put it in & ship through Forward Air. Ray.

              Got any friends that have a brother, that works with guy, whose cousin drives a 18 wheeler ??

              I'd check out some local trucking companies and see if any of thier drivers are going to NYC.

              Hey, it's worth a couple phone calls, ya never know.......

                  Try uship.com--truckers with less than full loads bid on picking up & dropping off your shipment.

                      yep thats him but he said he was giving up on the bike because the bike shop told him it was going to be to alot of money to fix and i refered him to this web site to help him get it done.

                        just heard from the guys and it turns out he didnt give up on the bike and has it back up and running. he told me he did swap the engine so i imagine somebody convinced him.
