New owner - painfully waiting to arrive

Squinternotto Posts : 8 Join date : 2021-06-01

Hi gang, bought a 2016 MG GRiSO end of May from Cadre MG (Enzo was the best). Bike was picked up a few weeks back. It should arrive next week. The wait has been painful. Look forward to welcoming the new addition to the garage.

That crappy former eastern block truck driver Peekup Andropov is probably riding the bike every time his truck stops for a pick up and drop off. And i guarantee you he is wearing flip flops to ride it.

Ah, someone else who listened to Click and Clack, the Tappet Brothers.

I'll dig up my business card for Dewey, Cheetum and Howe, in case you have any problems getting it registered. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Often wish I'd held out for Trophy red! Who'd you use for the transport?

Keyboard Motorcycle shipping. They have a flat price structure for shipping between central and eastern time zone. Fully insured, no deductible. They use special pallets where the bike can be moved around while on the pallet. I used them a handful of times and never an issue.

I found they had a great reputation when I was scouting for a service right around the New Year, and they were great on phone consults. At that time there were some..erm..contextual issues affecting the supply chain scheduling and getting my purchase extracted from a niche in California added some muddle to the process. After getting very jammed up by an independent operator out of Texas that is heralded on the ADV forum, I opted for an upcoming company out of Washington State (https://www.motoshippers.com/) and was very content with the outcome. If I were shipping within Keyboard's primary area, I would've gone with them. I like the idea of their 'proprietary' shipping frames. Their centralized aggregation/distribution point is smart but meant potential delay getting all the way across the country.

Where are they located in Washington State? Their bio touts their beginnings in Huntington Beach, California and phone number lands them in New Mexico...

I've not heard of them before.

Searching my email, I found a response to an inquiry I placed on a Norge out there, and the dealer said they used motoshippers. That was just coincidence revealed by the search.
