Thank you all for the advice. I'll see about securing the bike inside the truck. > Btw, what part of Houston are you moving to? Apartment in Midtown and job at Rice. Are you in the area? Cheers, -ntd On 10/29/2014 02:58 PM, Kyle Munz wrote: I agree with Phil, the money allocated to fixing

All, My sole moving experience was with a Penske moving truck - I recommend them only because the price is similar but most of the larger box trucks are diesel powered, which of course will cost you less money in the long run compared to a gas job. Just a thought. -Joey On Wed, O

The little trailers that UHaul rents are terrible behind their box trucks. Absolutely horrible driving experience, because of the short tongues and trailer stance. In the box, nearish the back, and as mentioned don't use the kickstand. Compress the forks/shocks when you strap it down, you should b

Whichever you choose, make sure to compress the shocks when you tie it down. Personally, I would put it IN the truck. Dave On Wed, Oct 29, 2014 at 2:18 PM, Neil Dantam wrote: > Dear Nighthawkers-who-have-recently-moved, > > I have an upcoming move (Atlanta->Houston) and wanted some feedback on

Dear Nighthawkers-who-have-recently-moved, I have an upcoming move (Atlanta->Houston) and wanted some feedback on a couple options for moving the bike ('97 CB750). Since the trailer rating of the Nighthawk is rather low :), UHaul seems the best choice. Would you suggest: 1. Carry the Nightha
