If you are driving across country I would just tow it, Or just put it in a rented pickup. Let me know, I have towed many a bike myself and have all sorts of little tips I can give you. Otherwise I would talk to some of the used bike, and if your brave enough the dealers, in your area and they will have the local bike movers numbers for you. My friend had his bike shipped from somwhere out west to Forida and it cost him 1200 dollars. Apparently the more time zones you cross the more the price. Or so I have heard. Hope you can figure something out.
