what a nice looking bike.

have fun with it.

Just curious, but how much did it cost to ship?

Awesome, do you have pics of it uncrated? Who did you use for shipping?

Looks great.. Definitely a nice 250r

**thestud25** · 03-16-2011, 12:03 PM

Very nice! What did shipping set you back, and what company shipped it?

**TatTooL23** · 03-16-2011, 12:57 PM

Shipping was a crazy thing. you would have to ask RideRed250r for details. he dealt with all that. i payed what we thought it would cost minus $20 to put the deal at what i was willing to pay. then RideRed250r had to build the crate, then 3/4 of the way through shipping the carrier demanded $100 more dollars or they were going to leave it where they were at! so again he had to eat that. so we waited til i received the 3 wheeler and now he is gonna go after the company. this all after it took 4 days longer then they said. i cant believe they could ask for a price, u pay them, then they take longer and make u pay more....crazy. so basically it was not a good thing to have to deal with. to say the least RideRed250r was awesome about it and i really appreciate it. its members like that, that really make this community a great thing. a genuinely nice dude. thanks man.

What company was it? When Frank Destra shipped my 250R from California he used these guys.. It was a great experience.. If I have to ship a bike I will use them again in a heartbeat.

i think it was just called "American Group Shipping"

**MudBug** · 03-16-2011, 02:23 PM

wow a crated 82 250R!!

looks like its in excellent shape, good find!

**RacerRichie** · 03-16-2011, 02:32 PM

Nice bike good luck. YRC has damaged some of my freight in the past and they were a bear to deal with. What freight class did you use? That may have changed things once they figured out what it was. Anyway at least it came to you in one piece!!

**fabiodriven** · 03-16-2011, 03:49 PM

That looks like a really sweet ride for sure.

**tanks350x** · 03-16-2011, 06:52 PM

Really nice looking R for sure...

**Shorty** · 03-16-2011, 06:59 PM

Now Take it out of the crate so we can see the bike better.
