Macdoc, myself, and a few others have hijacked many a thread and started talking about motorcycle transport, and the idea came up to post a new thread and keep the info there to make it easy to find. So here it is.
My contributions:
Years ago (2009) I crated and shipped a bike to Vancouver using Fastfrate... a LTL transport company. I got the crate for free from a bike shop (Cycle World West) and trailered the bike and the crate the the Fastfrate depot... $250 to ship a bike to Van, B.C., which might have gone up a lot since then, but that was very cheap.
Option 2 -- http://www.mytripmybike.com/ offers two way transport to various destinations out West... in the US and Canada for less than $1000 (in some cases over). You have to follow their timeline, and sometimes they offer early booking discounts, but it seems a reasonable way to get your bike West and back and avoid the Mid-West flat straight roads.
Mac and others... post what you've found.
