I would suggest these…but they’re expensive if you’re only planning on doing it once or twice.

My friend moved from Pittsburgh to Denver. We packed his Ducati ST4 this way and it made it unharmed. Then we stacked his furniture, mattresses, and moving blankets around it and packed it in so it wouldn’t go anywhere.

Yes. These work well, too. 🙂

Maybe use 2 palettes, just park the bike on top of them, and tie down to those. The palettes could slide around, but they won’t if you pack them in with all the other crap. You might need to beef up the palettes a tad, but it should work out. As for putting holes in the floor, you might tear them out if you crank down the straps like I do on my bike.

They use these rectangular crates to ship bikes, that would work awesome if you could find one.

Good luck, enjoy getting the hell out of this state. We have the most expensive legislature in the country, and the worst roads. Florida doesn’t even have sales tax. Have fun.
