So is the owner !! I Bought an old crate cut it, weld it, drain my tank tape battery terminals, wash the bike for the first time like I will never do again, removed windshield, turn mirrors upside down, wrapped it strapped it, made walls from OSB.
My bike will arrive in France 2 days after me but boat haul is cheap so worth it, I'll get drunk with friends in the meantime. Then I'll start eating some European kilometers yummy !!!

 

You DOG!

 

I am planning of doing same thing next year
Would you mind sharing info for shipping company you use, cost of shipping and regulations you had to follow
Thanks

 

Have fun over there!

 

I went to Montreal to bring the crate and had to wake up at 4:30 Well it's all done and cost me 375 CDN$, the return is a blind date.
Here are the pics.

 

that is really cool.

 

Thanks, but it will really be if the bike make it in one piece. But I'll consider a dent like a souvenir. I'll put stickers of countrys that I will visit, and will try to post pics on the forum.

 

I rented a bike and had some fantastic riding in the hills of Southern Spain. I highly recommend it. PM me with any questions.

HAVE A BLAST!!

 

Hmm, last time I called overseas shipper I find listed on the web they told me that I have to bring bike to Halifax and from there they will take it to France.
I live in Montreal can you let me know phone number or anybody I can call in Montreal to obtain more info.
Thanks in advance.

 

I believe this internet fad has made it to Europe by now so we better get some trip reports along the way!

 

PM sent Lean.
I want to try it myself before giving out too much infos, remember I could never see my bike again ...damn no it will be there.
Complete story on my way back

 

Thanks a lot for your support and trust me I'll have a hell of a blast there.
It seems that the bike have to be insured for proper custom release, I just hope they will be quick to send the paperwork. A banged up bike could screw up a trip over there, since I had to cut the crate in two and weld it back, there is a weak spot right in the middle, but if they drop it, I'll have something to do this winter lol.
