This is the shipping on a 2006 American Ironhorse Texas Chopper from San Diego California up to Washington State.
American Ironhorse Texas Chopper
Usually, when someone purchases a bike that has to be shipped the buyer is the one who arranges the shipping. When comparing shipping cost. I would suggest to verify that the shipping company has proper insurance. Should your new motorcycle get damaged or destroyed during the transport.
From the seller’s point of view, perhaps the most important thing to do is to document the condition of the motorcycle. Just prior to its leaving your possession. This should be done with detailed photos as well as a video of the bike running.
The video you’re watching now is an example of my actual documentation when selling this 2006 American Ironhorse Texas chopper. Really, it just takes a couple minutes to do this motorcycle condition documentation. You can save a lot of problems down the line should be bike be delivered with damage that did not exist when it was in your possession.
San Diego Texas Chopper motorcycle
Personally, I no longer consider purchasing any motorcycle that I cannot personally see and ride back to my home in San Diego, California. So far, the longest ride that I had, took over nine hours and except for the fact that when I started the ride, early in the morning, it was below freezing, it was a great ride. The majority of riding this Texas Chopper back to San Diego I was cruising at 75 to 80 miles an hour on the highway.
American IronHorse was an American motorcycle manufacturer that was founded in 1995 by Tim Edmundson and Bill Rucker. At one time, AIH was the largest factory producer of custom motorcycles in the USA. Their 224,000-square-foot (20,800 m2) factory was located in Fort Worth, Texas, and housed the complete manufacturing process under a single roof. Although most (305) parts for the bikes were made in-house, such as the seats and wheels, all American IronHorse motorcycles were built with S&S engines and were assembled in-house. In Spring 2008, American Ironhorse ceased production on all cycles and most company assets were liquidated at auction.
I think the part about insurance is good advise , we ship motorcycle internationally ever month and we try to get all our customer to take out a good insurance cover . But for some reason or another many seem hesitant to spend the money on it ..? You would think after spending thousand on a the bike the small amount for the insurance would be a no brainer , especially knowing it means you covered in case the unexpected happens .
And no matter how careful your transporter is anything can happen .
