the open trailers I believe need to go back to the location you rented it from, they cost about 40$ for a day after taxes and insurance.

I think I paid $55 with insurance when I rented mine from Barrie and dropped it off at a Scarborough location.

I rent a motorcycle trailer from UHaul at least twice a year. Tie down straps from CT and you are good to go. Even though your SUV has a trailer hitch, make sure you have the wiring. You'd think they come as one option but have seen otherwise.

I have an expedition with a trailer hitch on the back, that's all I need?

That, a 2" ball/receiver and some tie down straps and you're good to go! http://www.uhaul.com/Trailers/Motorcycle-Trailer-Rental/MT/

With my Chevy Trailblazer it requires an electrical adapter but most locations have the adapter to lend me.

Costs $15 for 24 hour rental.

That quote seemed a bit pricey,if its a business it wont be cheap,you need a trailer brother.

 

[frekeyguy]

That quote is for fully insured transportation ? Enclosed or open?

Having some one do the job for you is going to cost, 1 you're paying for time, fuel, insurance and wear and tear. etobicoke to peterborough is what, an hour trip so you're looking at 2.5 hours of his time, if he has a helper then that person has to be paid too. 355 doesn't sound too crazy.

[OmegaBravo7]

I'm pretty much one armed so as much as I'd love to do all this myself, I think having it transported would work best

Talk about coincidence, I just finished reading your thread from last January here http://www.gtamotorcycle.com/vbforum/showthread.php?179295-New-zx7-in-Toronto

If you are going to trailer it yourself check out some videos on youtube for proper tie down technique.

I will ride it back for you for a coffee...no worries I am not greedy like others on here! Beat that noobs!

Nice guy. A true biker. Kudos.

ive got a pickup truck, ramps and tomorrow off work.
if you are serious $200 and you help load and unload and strap in the bike.
ill be burning close to $70 in fuel so im really not looking for much.

or...

cover the fuel then clean my garage when we get back... thats what my plans are for tomorrow....and its a full days job

 

[Dougy]

I'll ride it back for a sour key

 

[Invincible]

I'll ride it back for a sour key

ill have it done in less than an hour

 

[mimico_polak]

I live in Etobicoke and will gladly ride it back here for free. You insure it and get it plated and I'm good to go.

And the next two weeks I work afternoon shift so I can do it basically most days of the week. Just try and have +5C temps.

thats a good deal imo.

Hope your elbow gets better soon

Imma be getting mine in about a week and a half from Barrie. Depending on when it happens, might take the Go train up with my gear, and then ride down. Go bus seems like a tedious 2.5-hour process... Or maybe ill make the wifey drive for this one rare time

 

[Schneller]

I'm available as well, with a car and trailer, for $175.

Retired, so available any day.

 

[EaZ8]

thats a good deal imo.

garage is cleaned now. but will bargain for a full detailing on my truck. its really not dirty...it hasnt even been on the road a year yet but i want it hand washed waxed and interior cleaned.

 

[Sinz]

I wonder if OP got the bike yet, there sure was a lot of offers for help!
