Does anybody have any suggestions, good or bad, on shipping companies? Also, how bad is it for the forks to be ratcheted down for 3-5 days? Anything we can do to prevent damage?

And I guess while I'm on the topic, anybody making a trip or needing a ride to Dallas area or back in the next week or so? I can supply gas money and drivers

maybe have the shipper use one of those fork trees so the bind on the forks isn't so bad...

I read in some MX magazine that they could stay compressed for ever, it has no effect.

funny i used to have one about 6 years ago

Thanks, Aaron. I'll go with that

If you contact the shipper they can drop the bike off at any Fastenal(yes the nut/bolt company) and they will put it on a truck and drop it off at any fastenal store of your choice. Needs to be on a palette though. I did this with my bike. $300

Wow, thanks, Gimp. I will check into that. Found a door-to-door for about $500 and they say they will have it here in 3 days... Doubt we can beat that, but I will check Fastenal.
