MOTORCYCLE TRANSPORT
Shipping a motorcycle calls for a plan built around the bike. Wheelbase, ground clearance, weight and accessories affect how it can be loaded and secured. Contact Dreamline with the motorcycle details and your route so the team can confirm suitable equipment and availability before you commit to a pickup schedule.

01
Describe the complete motorcycle
Provide the year, make and model, plus any modifications. Mention extended forks, low suspension, sidecars, trikes, large windscreens and luggage. Share dimensions when a modification changes the standard footprint; the carrier needs to know what will actually be loaded.
02
Confirm loading and securement
Ask how the motorcycle will be loaded, supported and tied down. Wheel chocks, tie-down arrangements, crating and enclosure options depend on the equipment selected. Do not assume a standard car trailer or a generic vehicle quote covers motorcycle handling.
03
Prepare accessories and condition photos
Photograph the bike from several angles, including fairings and existing marks. Discuss detachable luggage, alarms, keys, fluid leaks and fuel requirements with the carrier. Secure or remove accessories according to the agreed instructions.
04
Arrange a workable pickup
The person meeting the carrier should be able to identify the motorcycle, provide keys and review the condition report. Explain if the bike cannot roll or steer, or if help is needed to move it out of a garage. Equipment and access should be confirmed before pickup day.

COMMON QUESTIONS.
STRAIGHT ANSWERS.
Still working through the details? Call our team to talk about your vehicle and route.
Can the online sedan calculator price my motorcycle?
No. The calculator provides a standard-car planning estimate. Call for a motorcycle-specific equipment and route review.
Is crating always required?
Not always. Crating and securement depend on the carrier and equipment. Confirm the method included in your quote.
Can you move a non-running motorcycle?
Feasibility depends on whether it rolls and steers and on the available loading equipment. Describe the condition before requesting a booking.
