BMW R 1200 GS x 2 (No. 7212786)

Motorbikes and scooters are not only expensive, but also difficult to secure when transported. Though, it turns out that everything depends on how we do it and how much prior experience with shipping we have. It is feasible to ship a motorcycle or a moped without troubles, undoubtedly. The way it will be secured depends on the type of transportation. Owing to some helpful tricks you will prevent any damages, and dents that could happen when a scooter or motorbike is not properly secured.

When you are transporting your motorbike on a trailer you will need 4 belts to strap it down. If you use a trailer that is dedicated for motorcycles or scooters, it already is equipped with the rail that stabilises the motorcycle. In this situation you will need only 2 belts. It's essential to use a closed hook at the ends of the belts, rather than an open one. The closed one will not open up by accident during the shipment.

It is also worth checking the sharp angles or objects that may possibly tear up the belts and hinder your efforts. It's also doable to transport a motorbike inside a truck. The protection and equipment necessary to keep the motorbike installed safely in one place will not differ too much from other methods mentioned above. One thing worth considering is installing the side pads to protect the insides of the van and other objects that will be transported with the motorcycle.

There are also platforms that hooked to a truck or another vehicle, can help you ship your motorbike not occupying the whole space in the car.

Remember to check with the shipping company if the equipment they provide will be enough to transport your motorbike. For instance, using a wooden stand for lifting your motorbike and loading it in a truck could pose danger to people providing the service or pedestrians passing by, but could also cause severe damage to your motorbike/motorcycle.
