Default shipping a whizzer

I have found a great whizzer to buy, problem, it is in California and I am in Oklahoma. Anyone have any ideas on shipping? All suggestions and ideas appreciated.

Thanks,

Sounds like a good excuse for one of those butt busting road trips. Seriously you might check with someone like Central Freight lines. I think they ship big stuff like that........................

Ups and now fed x i believe have large freight item shipping probably cost as much as the bike. There is also that railway express that changed it's name. I can't for the life of me remember what it is called. DHL or something like that. Any of them might ship it for you. I personally would insure the heck out of it.

I don't guess you could have the seller buy a bus ticket for it and pack it a cheese sandwich.

Have you asked the seller what they would suggest for shipping?

It was sold by an individual. I have the hauling taken care off. If anyone ever needs to ship a motorized bike check out uship.com. describe the item, give size and weight and you will have companys bid on the haul. I saved about $300.00 and did not have to dissassemble or drain fluids.

Thanks for the help and comments,
Dave
