Thought I'd revisit this post in the event someone else needs to ship their chop. My Hondamatic and sidecar are being shipped using 'uship.com' from Tulsa, OK to Modesto, Ca in an enclosed trailer... the total price coming in just under $380. They are due to pick it up next week... I'll try to report back on how smooth things do or do not go.

btw, they are insured and have their DOT license listed
