Riding season in Washington, DC
Summer is the busiest season, with military PCS moves and political and government job changes. Memorial Day weekend draws large motorcycle rides into the city, and spring and fall are popular for buyers and sellers. Book early for summer.
Planning a DC pickup or delivery
Most DC neighborhoods are row houses and apartment buildings with permit parking and no room for a large truck. Rock Creek Parkway and other federal parkways do not allow commercial vehicles. We agree on a meeting spot with you before pickup day, often a wider street, a loading zone, or a parking lot a short ride from your home. If you live in a building, ask management about loading rules.
Military and government moves
Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling, the Washington Navy Yard, Fort McNair, and Marine Barracks Washington are all in the city, and the Pentagon is across the river in Arlington. Tell us your report date and new duty station. A trusted contact can release the bike if you leave first.
Riding from DC
Riders leave the city on I-66 for Skyline Drive at Front Royal, about 70 miles west, or head north through Maryland toward Catoctin Mountain and Gettysburg. Memorial Day weekend motorcycle rides honoring veterans bring thousands of riders into the city each year.

FAQ
Washington, DC motorcycle shipping questions

Usually not right at the door. DC streets have permit parking and little room for a truck, so we meet at a nearby wider street, loading zone, or lot. We agree on the spot with you before pickup.
How far is Washington, DC from your Richmond office?
About 110 miles, roughly two hours on I-95 depending on traffic. Northern Virginia and DC traffic can add time, so we call before the driver arrives.
Do you ship motorcycles for military moves in DC?
Yes. We ship for families at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling, the Navy Yard, Fort McNair, and the Pentagon. Tell us your report date and a trusted contact can release the bike if needed.
