    But I noticed something...
    Had things gotten "interesting" during that maneuver: the guy doing the unloading, had absolutely NO access to the brakes!
    Glad to see that it went well...

    ​At least he covered it with his hand so his hand would have gotten smushed too.

    I just came across this thread. What didn't you like about Haul Bikes? I guess that's the one you used, for whatever and whenever. If it was the delivery time you should have been told it could be up to 4 weeks since that's the way they operate. All delivery routes lead to Milwaukee and back.

    I'm surprised the windshield was on the bike. When I had Haul Bikes deliver my 2013 RT from Wisconsin to Idaho in Dec 2013 one of the requirements was to remove the windshield if it was higher than, what I don't remember. In your case either the pick up driver wasn't paying attention, or he noted a disclaimer for windshield damage on the contract sheet since it hadn't been removed and exceeded the max vehicle height.
