Problem: Article: There are a number of national and regional companies that can ship your motorcycle, but you want to make sure you get a good deal from a reputable business.  Start by looking up local shipping companies online or in the phone book.  Once you find some you like, contact them to get a price quote on shipping your motorcycle.  You should try to get at least three quotes to ensure you have an understanding of a reasonable price. The distance you are transporting the motorcycle, the size and weight of the motorcycle, and the timeframe will all affect the price of shipping a motorcycle. Open and enclosed shipping options refer to the type of trailer your motorcycle will be housed in as it travels.  Enclosed trailers will protect your motorcycle from the elements and from dirt and grime on the road.  Open trailers offer less protection, but often come at a significantly lower price point.  Consider the time of year and region your motorcycle will travel through when choosing between enclosed and open trailers.  If your motorcycle will be exposed to extreme heat or inclement weather, you may choose an enclosed trailer option. Remember that an open trailer may be left out in the elements for hours or days, regardless of weather. Some shipping companies tout door to door delivery service, while others expect you to come pick up your motorcycle at a designated location.  Having the motorcycle shipped directly to your house may be more convenient, but will also likely cost more.  Remember that the motorcycle will likely be transported by tractor trailer, so door to door shipping may not be feasible if the end location cannot be accessed by a truck of that size. Shipping your motorcycle to the closest major city will likely cost significantly less than shipping it to your door. While the motorcycle is being transported by a shipping company, their insurance or bond should cover any damages to your bike, as well as theft.  However, different companies have different policies and you may be left responsible for a deductible if something were to happen to your motorcycle.  Ask to see the shipping company’s insurance agreement and inquire about what to do if damages were to occur.  Make sure to ask about any deductible you may be responsible for if the motorcycle is damaged while in transit. If the shipping company does not have insurance, you should consider seeking a different shipping company. When your motorcycle arrives, look it over for any signs of damage and address it with the shipping company.  The company may reimburse you for the cost of repairs or pay for the repairs at a designated facility, depending on the situation and their insurance coverage.  Make sure to take pictures of the damage to substantiate your claim.  Contact the shipping company directly to discuss the damages. Make sure to keep copies of any paperwork you complete regarding the damages until they have been repaired.
Summary: Contact local shipping companies for a price quote. Choose between open and enclosed shipping options. Identify the end location. Ask about the insurance protecting the motorcycle en route. Inspect your motorcycle for signs of damage upon receipt.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: While you can always try harvesting the truffles yourself, you might have an easier time finding them online or at a farmers' market. Because you need a specially trained female hog to harvest them, truffles can get very expensive. For best flavor, buy truffles that were harvested during the winter. They won't be the same as fresh truffles, but they will be much easier to find. You can find them online as well as in gourmet food stores. Some farmers' markets may also carry them. The most famous black truffle is the Black Périgord truffle, originating from France. It grows near oak and hazelnut trees and is harvested during autumn or winter. It is suitable for all sorts of dishes. Other types of black truffles include:  Burgundy truffle: best for vegetable-based dishes. Chinese truffle: has a delicate flavor and fragrance. Garlic truffle: has a garlic-y fragrance. The Pecan truffle grows in the southern United States. As its name implies, it can be found near pecan trees. It is one of the most expensive truffles at $100 per pound (454 g). Here are some other types of white truffles:  Hungarian dessert truffle: sweet and ideal for dessert and ice cream Italian white truffle: rich fragrance and flavor with hints of garlic, shallots, and mushroom.

SUMMARY: Buy fresh truffles online or in farmers' markets. Consider dried or brined truffles. Choose black truffles if you want a rich flavor. Choose white truffles if you want a more delicate flavor.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You can usually tell that a yarn is chunky just by looking at it. Chunky yarn is only one term used to identify yarn types within the broader "bulky yarn" category. Many yarn brands will label the yarn as "chunky yarn," but there are a few other terms that brands may use to describe the yarn. These terms include "craft" and "rug" yarn. Check the label to be sure that a yarn is chunky.  Another way to identify chunky yarn is by its yarn weight symbol. The symbol for chunky yarn and all other forms of bulky yarn is "5."  A thicker yarn category is category 6, which is "super bulky." Some yarns in this category might be called "super chunky." Super chunky yarn and chunky yarn are not quite the same, so you should keep that in mind when making your yarn selection. Yarns can be made from different fibers, even yarns of a single thickness. Each fiber will have a different texture and appearance. Experiment with different fibers until you find one that you like.  As a general tip, consider the intended use of the project when picking out a fiber material. A blanket or scarf will need a softer yarn fiber than a rug or handbag would probably need. Acrylic wool is a mix of natural and synthetic fibers. It tends to be inexpensive and durable, making it ideal for projects like rugs and purses. It can also be used for sweaters and scarves but may not be soft enough for those with sensitive skin. Cotton wool is soft, durable, and natural. It is generally preferred for sweaters and scarves but may still be too rough for those with very sensitive skin, like infants and toddlers. The softest wools are cashmere, silk, mohair, lambs, and alpaca. Cashmere and silk wools are typically used for scarves, shawls, and wraps, but they are more delicate and require more care. Mohair, lambswool, and alpaca wool tend to be used for blankets and sweaters, but they also require special care. This step applies to any yarn you shop for, and chunky yarn is no exception. You'll need to figure out which color or colors you want to use for your project. Use any color that you like or that will meet the needs of your project.  Once you figure it out, buy the number of skeins you will need. It's better to have too many than too few. The dye can be slightly different from batch to batch, so buying the same hue by name at two different times can result in having two slightly different shades. You can avoid this problem if you buy the yarn all at once. To be on the safe side, you should also check the "lot" or "dye lot" number on the back label of each skein. Make sure that the dye lot number on each skein is the same before you buy them. Otherwise, you may still end up with different shades. The right crochet hook to use can vary by project and yarn type. If you are using a pattern, then the hook size might be indicated in the pattern. If you are not using a pattern, then check the yarn label for a recommendation. If you are not sure what hook size to use, choose a hook size that falls within the standard recommended range.  Larger hooks tend to be best for chunky yarn. In U.S. sizes, look for a hook between K-10-1/2 and M-13. In metric sizes, look for a hook between 6.5 and 9 mm. If you end up picking a super chunky yarn, the recommended hook size is M-13 and up in U.S. sizes or 9 mm and up in metric sizes.
Summary:
Select a chunky yarn. Consider different types of material. Find the right color. Choose the best hook size for your yarn.
