TAKE YOUR MOTORCYCLE ON VACATION
06 January 2005 - FedEx Custom Critical, Inc.,

FedEx Division provides transport service to the country’s major cycling events, national parks and scenic destinations

FedEx Custom Critical Passport Auto Transport, the premier transporter of classic, collector and specialty automobiles, has a solution for motorcyclists who want to take their bikes on vacation or attend a national motorcycle meet but can’t spare the time to get there and back.

Bypass the time-consuming out and back portion of that motorcycle road trip and ship the bike directly to the destination to “Take Your Motorcycle on Vacation.” Motorcycle enthusiasts can ship their favorite bike to any continental U.S. vacation destination, returning with some unforgettable motoring memories. FedEx Custom Critical Passport Auto Transport gives riders the ability to travel in comfort and find their motorcycle conveniently waiting for them upon arrival. Once there, enthusiasts can concentrate on riding during their vacation – not hassling over the often difficult logistics of traveling to a destination carrying a limited amount of luggage and accessories.

FedEx Custom Critical Passport Auto Transport can provide the transport of bikes for club members who want to attend Daytona Bike Week, Sturgis, complete a Great Circle Tour of one or more of the Great Lakes or perhaps start a cruise from Mile Marker #1 of the AlCan Highway. What better way to ride through Brice Canyon or Glacier National Park than to arrive fresh and relaxed, the motorcycles already on site, fueled and ready?

Passport’s tractor-trailers are designed to address the special shipping needs of motorcycles of all types – from classics and customs to motocross, off-road, trail, sport bikes and café racers. The ability to ship twice as many motorcycles in a single transporter allows cycling groups, clubs and individuals take advantage of the economies of scale with rates substantially reduced over the prices for shipping autos.

While shipping motorcycles present fewer concerns (like ramp clearance and limited fuel in gas tanks) than cars, there are some issues riders should consider:
• Disconnect a bike’s battery to eliminate any fire hazard
• Don’t ship your helmet with the motorcycle. With no effective way to avoid inevitable
movement during shipping, damage to bodywork and paint could occur
• Investigate helmet laws of the states or provinces through which you plan to ride
• Be sure to carry the proper motorcycle endorsement on your license, and have up-to-
date insurance documents especially when traveling through Canada

Here are some examples of one way shipping rates for one or two motorcycles:
• Atlanta, GA to Ft Lauderdale, FL $880
• Los Angeles, CA to Sturgis, SD $1350
• Chicago, IL to Phoenix, AZ $1400
• New York, NY to Daytona Beach, FL $1250
• Washington DC to Sturgis, SD $1700
• Dallas, TX to Daytona Beach, FL $1000
