General information on transport
Each bike is individually loaded in the trailer with the front wheel placed in a special chock and the bike is strapped in using four straps of 2000 lb. test or better. The straps are then anchored into a special rail system. Bikes are not placed on a pallet or skid.
Your bike will be loaded, secured and unloaded by a fellow biker experienced and skilled in motorcycle transportation.
Space is limited in the trailer by the size of the motorcycles to be loaded. We at Dragonstar would rather carry a few less bikes than crowd bikes into the trailer. The safe and damage free transport of your bike is our first concern.
Bike pick-up is usually at a central location, such as a motorcycle dealership. Bikes will be delivered to a predetermined site near the event location.
Your bike will be transported in a clean enclosed trailer specially equipped for motorcycle transport. The trailer will remain locked during transport and inspections will be performed every three hours. We want you to feel secure that your bike will arrive safely.
Rider responsibilities
All ignitions will be unlocked, no alarms left on, and no wheel locks allowed. Keys must be left with bike.
It is the rider's responsibility to be at the pick-up point on time. When the last bike is loaded, the trailer will leave to keep on schedule. The rider will remain with the bike until check-in.
Any bike found to contain any alcohol, illegal drugs, or weapons will not be loaded. Should any illegal substances or weapons be found on the bike, the bike will be turned over to law enforcement without liability to Dragonstar and no refund will be given. Dragonstar will cooperate with any investigation by law enforcement.
Prior to loading, you are responsible for the removal of any antenna, loose or fragile parts, protruding accessories, low hanging spoilers, louvers, etc. The items must be removed or properly secured for their protection and the other bikes protection. Dragonstar is not reposnsible for attached gear, antennas or helmets on bike. If your gear damages your bike or another because you have failed to secure it you are liable for any damage that results.
You are responsible for checking your bike for any leaks of fuel, oil, battery acid, or water. This could incur a charge, or liability for damage, to the trailer or to other bikes.

booking personal travel arrangements
You've got your bike, you know where you would like to go, what's it going to take to get you there? It takes a minimum of four bookings to make a trip happen. Deposits are required for all trips. Failure to get your money paid in time can result in losing your space. The balance of the trip cost must be paid thirty days prior to departure. Payment can be by cash, check or money order.
To complete your booking we will need detailed information on your bike and your expected arrival time to coordinate drop-off points.
Refund policy
The deposit is not refundable. You can trade or sell your space if you choose. The change will have to be accepted by Dragonstar due to space limitations in the trailer. The new rider will also have to complete an information sheet on their bike for approval.
