I'd have to take a look as I don't know trikes very well but I'm pretty sure one is a orange tri sport or tri rod,other is probably heald trike,and the other is a very small orange tri sport or tri rod. All projects in need of restoration etc (I'm pretty sure the 2 bigger ones still have the original engines) and the very small one is missing the engine.
Here's one to consider, last year i posted a mini-bike on U-ship from Florida to Wyoming. Went with flexible dates on both ends, cost me $275 bucks. They wanted $460. I refused, no way i was gonna pay that.
Then posted another one from Ft. Worth to Wyoming, again with flexible dates. Moved it for $150 bucks.
Granted mini-bikes are small yet they still wanted stupid money to move them.
You can post your price to move whatever on there. Just 'cuz they want stupid money doesn't mean your at their mercy if you can be flexible on your dates.
Hope that gives you some insight. I was just like you, why does everthing cool and cheap enuff have to be a kazillion miles away?
It paid off bein flexible and not jumping on the 1st quote thrown your way.

Fastenal told me they would not accept minibikes / motorcycles or etc. because of fear of damage - but upon speaking to her further and "clarifying" that the complete Superbronc I was purchasing was not running at the moment - she said they would transport it if it was classified as "Parts" ! My seller dropped it off at Fastenal secured to a skid and 2 days later it was at my nearest Fastenal ready for me to pick up - believe it was less than $200 ? Just Sayin .............
that is what I thought to begin with. I finally got in touch with the seller and he is flexible on pick up date so I can list it with a wider pick up and drop off window, in the hopes someone will pick it up as an extra load.So far my best quote is from haul bikes 600.00. The reviews for them is mixed. If you dont mind waiting, and communication being spotty and problematic. But everyone who said something negative about these issues. comepletely raved about the drivers and the way they handled everything. At that cost it would be about the same as doing it myself.
