Preparing Your Bike for the Long Haul

Shipping a motorcycle across state lines involves specific regulations and safety steps. Whether it's a Royal Enfield or a scooty, here's how to prep it.

1. Document Everything

Just like with cars, take photos of your bike's current condition. Note any scratches on the exhaust, mirrors, or tank.

2. Mirror and Battery Care

Fold in or remove the mirrors. If the bike will be in transit for more than a week, consider disconnecting the battery to prevent drainage.

3. Paperwork for Inter-State Checks

Ensure you have the original RC (or a clear copy), Insurance, and PUC. These are frequently checked at state borders in India.
