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 !!!

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.

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.

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.
