  • Secure crate / carrier if you have one (if not, we can assist).
  • Any attachments or accessories (eg panniers, windscreens) you need transported.
  • Fuel & fluids: resist high fuel levels for safety.
  • Photos / evidence of condition before transport.
  • Book ahead—distance or remote areas may require extra preparation time.
