Snice the motorcycle is a big part of the budget I’m going to provide my own crate (500 to $800 saving) I have asked my local motorcycle dealer to give me one for free as long as it is treated wood with right stamping.
Company 5
At last to compare with another quote I got by email from a non FIDI-FAIM accredited company so without survey of my house and just by filling quote spread sheet 1×20 foot container door to door at $5845 
! Too nice to be hassle free!
