Expert Motorcycle Logistics, Shipping, and Transport in Bozeman, MT

A motorcycle is not a small car and it doesn't ship like one. It has to be loaded without pressure on the forks, tied down without damaging the bodywork, and guarded from road spray, rock strike, and anything shifting in the trailer beside it. Open auto carriers deliver bikes there. They do not always get them there the way they left. Redman Van & Storage transports motorcycles from Bozeman in enclosed, secured equipment with crews who transport high-value cargo daily.

How We Protect the Bike

Every Bozeman shipment starts with a documented condition report and photographs. Motorcycles are held in place with soft ties over the handlebars and wheel chocks at the front, never with straps compressing the suspension for the length of the trip. Fuel is drained, batteries are addressed where required, and fairings and painted surfaces are padded. Inoperable and project bikes are lifted or winched rather than pushed.

Why Pick Redman Van & Storage

We have been relocating irreplaceable, uncrated belongings since 1891 — pianos, fine art, antiques, and laboratory equipment. A motorcycle is precisely the kind of cargo that this discipline was built for. As a North American Van Lines agent we ship from Bozeman to anywhere in the country, and we can provide secure storage in Bozeman on either end of the journey.

FAQs

Can you ship non-running motorcycles?

Yes. Non-running, project, and partially disassembled bikes are handled routinely. They are lifted or winched onto the equipment rather than ridden, so the bike does not need to start or hold a charge. Share the condition when you request a quote so the right loading equipment is assigned.

Is enclosed transport worth choosing over an open carrier?

For any motorcycle with paint you value, yes. Enclosed transport eliminates road spray, rock strike, weather exposure, and public visibility. For high-value, custom, vintage, and collector bikes the difference in protection is considerable; for a well-used commuter bike an open option may be acceptable.

How do I prepare my motorcycle for shipping?

Reduce fuel to roughly a quarter tank or less, remove or secure loose accessories, saddlebags, and GPS units, disable the alarm, note any existing damage, and ensure tires are inflated so the bike rolls. Our crew fills out a condition report with photographs before loading.
