Taylor Welty 'KnowsBikes' a fraud and is transporting illegally as per the federal laws with no commercial insurance, DOT or MC #S also displayed on the side of your legal truck like all commercial trucks running DOT hrs & log books. You need proper government authority to transport for hire. You have not. We have filed against him. Do not use this guy or the many other non legals that state they are insured or legal it will cost you in the long run. When he gets pulled overby any law enforcement or go over required scales or at state lines driver will the arrested and fined and your load will be impounded and towed to DOT storage and get fees/fines and require a legal transporter with DOT / MC #s with commercial insurance to remove it with proper certification after all fines & fees have been paid.

He has to be paid by paypal first, his bid said he could make the dates, couldn't make them or even close, brokered my shipment, guy had to drive 5 hours to pickup his bike from whoever actually shipped the bike or wait 4 more days. He was the cheapest and the bike was ok and most of his feedback was good, dont pay any attention to anything he counters on this feedback. He may knowsbikes but he knows how to be late too!

This shipper is a DRAMA KING! He makes all of his problems yours, like I need to buy tires for $385, insurenace and feul is killing me and on and on. He is a HI-PRESSURE CLOSER and will not move a dime but will spend half a day texting and calling to justify his price and then pressure you to act now as I have other loads I will take in place of yours. He will use every angle to get more money out of you for the shippment even after you contract it: His PayPal fees, mandatory tips, ealry deliver

Bike was damaged at delivery. Says he takes pictures of bikes to protect himself. I got no pictures. Kickstand would not hold bike up at delivery, this is a half inch piece of steel that was bent sideways. Bike just came out of paint shop, he admired the bike before loading into trailer (was the bike not standing up at that time????) Got to destination and $150 later it was back on the road. Says bike was put into wheel lock but I'm not believing it, I have the bent kickstand as proof.

This was the worst experience I have EVER had! The shipper delivered my bike to a dealer instead of my house. When I went to the dealer to pick up my bike I discovered it had been dropped. The estimate was over $1, 000 to repair. Taylor(shipper) then had the balls to say he picked the bike up in this conditions which is horse SH.T! I will be suing Mr. Taylor and reporting him to the internet Crime Fraud Bureau and the Police in both States. DO NOT USE THIS YAHOO TO SHIP ANYTHING!

DO NOT USE THIS SHIPPER ! Taylor is dishonest and unreliable.If I could leave my phone number here I would.I'd love to talk to anybody thinking of using Knows Bikes or Taylor Welty and explain what he tried to do to me.If it wasn't for U Ships security department getting involved, things would have been a lot worse.The bike was over 5 weeks late.He blamed the delay on weather and on mechanical problems(twice)When he finally showed up, he demanded extra CASH after already paying him in full.BEWARE!

No Detailed Feedback Available DO NOT EVER EVER USE THIS PERSON!!! This deliverer, Taylor, is a liar! liar! liar! I recently used your service and had three motorcycles picked up on 1/20 that were supposed to be in Newark on 1/22 by 8am. After several conversations with Taylor Welty 'KnowsBikes' in which he provided excuses I found out that he won't deliver the bikes until Monday, maybe even later. He acted very unprofessionally and I was extremely worried about the bikes which are worth $20, 000. The story didn’t e
Response from KnowsBikes:
I STRONGLY SUGGEST NO ONE USE THIS PERSON. I feel that these bikes may have been STOLEN. There was NO PAPER WORK/TITLES/COPY OF TITLES/BILL OF SALES with the bikes, and I was really leary of picking them up. They were being sent overseas. When I arrived at Oversea shipper, I had NJ police inspect VIN#. and gather info on bikes. READ REVIEWS ON EITHER SIDE OF THIS, All bikes were delivered in a fair amount of time, considering it's winter and I had mechanical problmes Cheers

$11, 000 damage was done by the shipper. He did not deliver my bike to me but delivered it to BMW Motorcycles of Austin and was never heard from again. Owner will not return my phone calls or emails. I had to claim on my insurance and am out $3000 because of difference between what my insurance will pay and what I paid for the bike. Very corrupt individual. Taylor Welty is the owners name.
Response from KnowsBikes:
READ MY FEEDBACKS, I NEVER TOUCHED THIS BIKE, I NEVER EVEN SAW THIS BIKE, NEVER BEEN TO BMW OF AUSTIN IN MY LIFE. I NEVER BOOKED THIS, GROSS ERROR HERE!
