I will soon be moving to the other coast, and have arranged for a
moving company to move all my stuff. Included are two BMW motorcycles
(a 78 RS Motosport, a 51 R51/3). Both these bikes are like new, since
I keep them in my apartment and never ride them in New York (for lots
of reasons).
Anyway - anyone got any tips I can give the moving people (Bekins)
to insure these things get to Calif. in one piece? Can I assume the mover
will take all the required precautions? I took the gas/oil out long
ago (although it is not required under current N.Y. law when storing
them in your apt.!). I'm considering taking fenders off and just
boxing them. Anyone else done this sort of thing? Did the bike(s)
make it ok?

thanks...rich
