If you have a hitch on your car, you can tow a trailer with your bike in it... motorcycle trailers can be rented reasonably cheap at U-hauls, etc. Or you can buy your own.

Having a shipping company ship your bike for you can cost between $250-$500 or so.

You can buy a decent trailer for $300-$400

Hey, I know this is off-topic, but do you play CS? What does AWP stand for?

Yup, used to play a bit to much, AWP = artic warfare magnum / police. Which is pretty much one big ass sniper rifle, and my favorite gun :cool:

if you have a 4wd then you dont have to empty out all that just keep it in?

Hey AWP... If you have time, look at the end of any motorcycle mag and you'll find all those adds. I see single motorcycle trailers for about $255. May want to look into getting one of those. It'll just take a while to get shipped to ya.

Yah I think I will go with a single motorcycle trailer. Anyone recommend a specific name brand?

Just get a flatbed trailer from Home Depot or Harbor Freight. If you are in a rush though, i would recommend seeing if you can rent a trailer from UHAUL or something "one way".

Unfortunately Uhaul motorcycle trailers aren't available one way I checked :(
