The 2022 Indian Chieftain Limited Trike brings together the touring capability of a large bike along with additional stability offered by its three-wheel design. The bike has a broad rear area, significant bodywork, and tour accessories that make it a very different load than your average two-wheeled bike. Properly having the trailer and loading equipment for your move will be key.
In this case, the 2022 Indian Chieftain Limited Trike was scheduled to be shipped enclosed from Albuquerque, NM, to Marana, AZ, which is about 487 miles.
The Route
The move started from Albuquerque to Marana, which is located northwestern of Tucson. The distance of about 487 miles was quite short in comparison with cross-country shipping, however, the large size of the trike required special attention during planning.
To ride a trike from one location to another will take several hours of driving. If a customer chooses the transport service, then this will give an opportunity to ship the trike without having to travel himself.
It is useful to make sure of the address and accessibility before loading. It is especially important when a large truck has to reach the trike.
Preparing a Touring Trike for Pickup
Little preparation may go a long way in helping with the picking up and delivering of items. Some things to do before the carrier comes include:
- Confirm the dimensions and weight. Provide accurate measurements so the carrier can check equipment compatibility.
- Document the condition. Take photos of the bodywork, wheels, windshield, storage compartments, and accessories.
- Remove loose belongings. Clear personal items from storage compartments unless their transport has been arranged in advance.
- Secure detachable accessories. Remove or properly secure anything that could shift during transit.
- Check location access. Make sure there is enough room for the trailer to maneuver and for the trike to be loaded safely.
These details provided ahead of time give the driver a better idea of what he’s dealing with, and decrease the risk of anything unforeseen happening.
Enclosed Transport
The enclosure option was chosen for this Indian Chieftain Limited Trike to give an extra level of protection while on the trip. In a closed trailer, the vehicle will be less exposed to rain, road elements, dust, and other external factors.
For a touring bike with body panels and various attachments, it can be quite comforting. At the same time, it gives better conditions when the trike moves from New Mexico to Arizona.
One important point to consider ahead of time is whether the trailer can take the size and weight of the trike. Not all motorcycle trailers are suitable for a three-wheel touring bike.
