Default best way to ship my bike

i joined the army left my bike now im in oklahoma and it really blows here my bike is in my friends garage. how do i get it from there (tampa) to here (fort sill) for relatively cheap its not in amazing condition so im not worried about it being in an enclosed trailer.

so far this is my best option at 626 with 7000 insurance

Hitch hike all way back here then ride it back up yourself.

what is your mos does your unit have block leave or can you take leave when ever you want... next time you come home uhall/budget truck it back to base also make sure you do what you have to on base so you can ride it

626 is cheaper than air fare + gas + lodge.. you can get it shipped for cheaper too.. just tell them you cant pay that much and they'll give you better offers on the phone. if they wont call another company. i've dealt with these car/bike shipping when I did the gumball run the price they give you up front is no where near their bottom line.

I don't think that will be very hard to accomplish. Good luck.

I'll just ride it up for you at a fraction of the price.

^ straight through to Oklahoma? I doubt that.

So he will have to pay for gas, lodging and then a plane ticket home to a total stranger?
Even if a friend.. I'd rather have a company move it that is insured.
