    Does any one know a company that does this (sure I remember at least one company did but I can't remember any details.

    I do not feel morally objectionable having this chap spend money on

    Look for ‘man with van’, or perhaps better for your situation, a ‘man with
    van that transports motorcycles’? The latter is likely to have tie-downs
    and other protective stuff on the van.
