Any idea who I could use to ship my bike from Ventura CA to Phoenix and roughly how much?

Using uship.com, I found an "independant" guy who is based out of Seattle, but happened to be traveling through AZ, NV, and CA on his way back to Seattle. I can't recall the exact cost offhand, but it was in the $300 range to have my 75 H2 picked up in Chandler AZ and delivered to my driveway in Sacramento CA. Try out the website but use the exact p/u and destination zip codes to obtain accurate delivery estimates from bids. And, check your pm too.

just be careful, I have personally witnessed the "carnage" that can ensue if using a "cheap" carrier from U-ship

DO YOUR HOMEWORK before accepting a bid. Cheapest doesn't mean the bestest. If you are just shipping a junk/parts bike, then by all means...go cheap, but if you want the thing to arrive in the same condition as it left, spend an extra few bux on the front end rather than an $800.00 paint job and $500.00 in rechrome on the back.

And be sure to specify an enclosed trailer vs open, to further protect from the elements or damage from road debris, etc.

Haul Bikes is the only shipper I will use, My latest bike came in with A+ care and I have used them multiple times.This bike was the biker build off winner for the easy rider and v-twin build off.
