Moving home, or a longer trip for your bike
Moving to a new place, buying a bike out of town, or sending one to a specialist a few hours away: MotoLimo goes anywhere within about 500 km of the GTA, as long as the trip starts or ends in the GTA, or is on the way back. Tell us both ends and the timing, and we’ll work out the trip.

When you move
Most reputable movers won’t put a motorcycle in the moving truck: it can void the insurance on your household contents, and a lot of people only find out close to moving day. MotoLimo takes the bike from the old address to the new one on its own trip, on the day that suits your move.
For real estate agents
Clients moving with a motorcycle? Let them know before moving day that their mover may not take it, and pass on MotoLimo’s number: 416-651-2424. They can call for a price at any stage of the sale.
How far
Anywhere within about 500 km of the GTA, as long as the trip starts or ends in the GTA, or is on the way back to it: a bike picked up in Sudbury for a shop in Bracebridge is on the way home, so it works. See the map on the service areas page, or call and ask.
Quickest answer: 416-651-2424. The crew is often on the road, so a call usually beats the form.
If you ever need to transport your bike, MotoLimo should be first on your list. And when you call, you should check out his truck and equipment. Fantastic, state of the art lifting platform which will hold your bike solid!
Questions
About moving and longer trips.
How far will you go?
Anywhere within about 500 km of the GTA, as long as the trip starts or ends in the GTA or is on the way back. Not sure about yours? Call and ask.
Will my mover take my motorcycle?
Often not. Many reputable movers won’t put a motorcycle in the moving truck, because it can void the insurance on your household contents. Ask your mover early, and book the bike its own trip.
Can it be done the same day?
We work mostly by appointment, and a longer trip is best planned ahead. Sometimes a same-day trip is possible: call and ask.
Do I need the exact address yet?
No. A town or postal code at each end is enough for a first price; the full addresses can come later.
