I need to move a motorcycle 2 miles, but can’t drive it

My ex had a huge stroke. That’s the end of driving motorcycles for him. I was going to try to help him sell it, but I need to move it out of a paid storage place. It’s big and heavy. I have never driven a bike, and don’t intend to start now.
This seems like a relatively simple problem to solve, but I don’t know how I could get it onto a truck. I don’t know anyone who knows how to drive one. Is there someone who’s solved this problem before? It seems silly to hire someone to tow it 2 miles, but I’m not sure we have other options. |

If you’re on FB or similar, I would post asking if anyone you know who is local has a motorcycle license who could do this for you.
If that’s a no, just call a tow truck. |

| A motorcycle license is different from a driver's license. Post on Craigslist or Facebook asking to hire someone to move it from Point A to Point B for you. |

| I would post on your local FB or Nextdoor group. Someone will do it for you. Did your ex ride with a group? One of them would probably do it. Bikers stick together. |

| Just post on your neighborhood Listserve / group. My DH did just this a few weeks ago for someone in the neighborhood who hurt his back and couldn’t move his motorcycle. |

| I’d just have it towed. Seems cheapest and least risky. |

Agreed. hiring some rando off craiglist is a good way to get it stolen. |

South end of Springfield. I thought about hiring someone from Craigslist, but it’s a nice BMW bike. I don’t want it to get stolen. I’ll ask around among my neighbors, and see who has a license. If I can’t find anyone, I’ll hire a tow company. I am moving out of the area in another 6 weeks, and I am worried that whoever else takes over the bill paying will forget to pay the bill, and he will lose the bike. |

| I’m sorry about the stroke, OP! If you ask on your neighborhood listserve, maybe a neighbor can help you. |

| List it for sale and whoever buys it can move it. |

Dante is a good guy. I call him whenever my bike needs to get towed. Don't call a regular tow truck, they will often screw up the bike. People who tow bikes have specialized equipment. |
