Default Motorcycle transporter/carrier

I may be looking to have a motorcycle shipped from the Pacific Northwest to the Midwest. A few companies come up on an internet search. but I'd like to get a recommendation from someone who may have used one or more of them. Any experiences, good or not so good would be helpful. PM or email me if you prefer.

Keyboard Express. 270-737-5797. Ask for Kelly in Motorcycle Transport. My friend says they are the best. He just had a Harley delivered.

That pic sure looks a lot like the mini-bike I had as a kid? . Me and my pal bought it for $5 then got an old 2 stroke McCullough 5-Hp chainsaw motor for free....spent the last of our life savings of $20 on the clutch. . Luckily the chain would always come off about half throttle at what seemed like about 70 mph....I think we had as much fun driving the neighbourhoods crazy with the noise! . I haven't thought of it in years....I guess it got tossed aside when we discovered the snowmobiles! ~ Pete
