Relevance of motorbike transporters and how to find them

How do you define auto transport in your words? Basically for someone who wants their car or motorbike to be delivered at a new house or to a winter vacation home, services from an auto transport company is required. The motor transporters would deliver the vehicle at the new destination at the stipulated time. Since it takes at least a week to set your car into the schedule for pickup and delivery, you need to keep this in mind and plan the whole process accordingly. Once you have found a company with whom you would conduct the business, you need to give at least two week’s notice at a minimum to the company you are contracting with.

You expertise and efficiency lies in finding the right company for transporting your motorcycle. Even though there are many different auto transport companies available these days, not all of them have experience with motor bike transport. So what you need to ensure is that the company that you have located has experience in handling the bikes and transportation. Their experience largely determines the safety of your vehicle and time delivery.

It is true that there are certain times during a year in which most of the vehicle transport occurs. You need to decide the right time to ship your bike. There are a few seasons when there are a lot of motorcycles shipped to particular destination. For example, during the summer holidays, many families would move around hence the transportation sector would be active then. Also during big event happenings like Sturgis, motorbike delivery would be more.

You need to take into consideration when the bike should me moved if you want to get a good price and want the vehicle to be moved on time. If you are planning to attend a big motorbike event, it is good to ship the bike much before the event in order to avoid hassle and also the shipping cost would be considerably less.

If you want to make sure that the motorbike delivery would be conducted on time and safely, never hesitate to ask questions. Ultimately it is your bike and you have the authority to ensure its safety. Clarify all doubts by asking all questions before you take the service from a motorbike transporter. The response given the company would have a major influence on your decision of which company would be the best to hire.

The price involved with the transportation would vary with each company. You need to take time and collect as much free quotes as possible. This would help you to compare the prices offered by each company. Never give in for the cheapest deal until and unless you are confirmed that the company is offering the valuable services. You need to know cheaper is not always better. Grab a quote from a company and then do research on the company. By doing a thorough study, you can find out if the company can be relied upon. You just can’t cherry pick some company and hand over your bike as there need to be some amount of reliability during the vehicle transportation process.

Fresh Photos of New Chrysler 200 Sporting Brand's New Grille


Now that Chrysler Group has announced its new European Jeep lineup and revealed the next-gen Dodge Durango and Charger, the most important cars to expect soon are the 200 and 300 sedans. Chrysler has put out some new photos of its redesigned and renamed Sebring replacement, and we finally get a better look at the car's nose plus a peek at the leather interior with contrasting stitching.

You already know the car will get a the 2.4-liter I4 World Gas Engine and the new Pentastar 3.6-liter V6 with 283 horsepower. For the rest of all the released info, head over to our previous post. Right now we're here to check out the latest teasers from Chrysler.

With a full, if dim, view of the front end, it looks like the new Chrysler grille will get some styling cues from -wait for the shocker- Hyundai's latest proposals. Hopefully we'll be getting some proper pictures soon that will put any fears to rest.

Remember, this is just meant to be a stop-gap solution using the 200C concept's style on an old Sebring chassis; the next all-new 200 should be significantly less Sebring and more its own model in-line dimensionally with the concept it's based on.

Malignant Rumors: Jaguar Considering 2,000 Units a Year of Turbine-Powered C-X75 Halo Car


As Porsche begins development on the hybrid 918 Spyder, Jaguar is reportedly taking the idea of a limited-run production version of its Paris Motor Show C-X75 concept into consideration. Autoweek reports that the British luxury marque is discussing the possibility of building up to 2,000 units annually of its XJ220 successor. If you're thinking about getting the checkbook out anytime soon, though, hold it right there.

First, due to production methods and costs, a firm number has to be decided on in regards to the C-X75's volume. Then, over the next five to seven years, Jaguar will try to prove its futuristic micro gas turbines - which are actually cheaper to develop than an internal combustion engine - are feasible for a consumer vehicle.

Tony Harper, head of advanced powertrain development for Jaguar, says, "We're talking two to three years for implementation of the gas-turbine technology, then another three to four years to integrate into a vehicle."

Should this timeline be believed and the bookkeepers give Jag a green light, we could begin seeing mules of the futuristic turbine-powered supercar as early as 2012 or 2013. Don't worry; by 2017 the Matt Beaven-penned C-X75 should still be looking fresh.

How Not to Customize Redux: 1996 Ford Taurus “Space Ship”


Do you want a car that, "look deferent and feel deferent [sic]"? If so, this Australian tuner - whose skill at vehicle modification is in line with his comprehension of the English language - has the car for you...

The third generation Ford Taurus was not a very pretty car to begin with. Its ovoid shape, which extended to the taillights, rear window and even the dashboard was not especially attractive and made the car look like it was slowly melting.

This enterprising owner has attempted to fix that by adding an ill-fitting body kit, hood and roof scoops and a generous amount of black and gold paint (which makes the car look like a tin of Lyle's Golden Syrup). The result is...well, you can see for yourself.

Underneath that hideous façade the Taurus appears pretty stock with a 3.0 L V6, automatic transmission and 164,321 km (102,104 miles) on the clock. It looks like it even has the stock wheels and tires.

For the enterprising buyer in Blacktown, NSW, this...thing could be yours for a little over AU$1,500 - or at least that's the highest bid currently on eBay.
