Default Motorcycle shipping companies - recommendations?

If I end up moving to the East Coast, I'm taking my bike with me and I'm looking to have it shipped professionally. Estimates from MN are roughly $550-600.

The question is, who's the best in the business for motorcycle shipping? I'm only doing it once, and I want it to go smoothly (obviously).

www.uship.com

they allow you to put what you're shipping up for bid and the company that throws out the lowest shipping quote is the winner, haha. no but seriously, had that pretty little gsxr750 in my avatar shipped to nc from cali for $500 with no issues.

I'm also looking for a company that can ship motorcycles internationally. I'm planning to buy one from Thailand because the prices are much cheaper there even with the shipping costs included.

I think you can give a thought to air road direct. I got my bike transported from one part of Australia to other and they did it absolutely well. So, if you would like then you can give a thought to this company to get the best at reasonable rates with transportation insurance.
