There is nothing quite like the open road and the thrill of
the wind, seeing the sights in a new way from your own motorcycle. If you are traveling abroad, particularly if
you plan to spend any serious time traveling, one of the best ways to see a new
place is on your motorcycle. Whether you
want to bring your own bike overseas or you want to ship an American made
motorcycle to your home in another country, shipping your bike abroad is easier
and more cost effective than you think.
There are lots of reasons why you want your own bike instead
of renting one. You know the maintenance
that has gone into your own vehicle, for one thing. You know the feel of your own bike. American motorcycles are also very well
designed and respected internationally for their performance and luxury. Buying one from the United States and
shipping it abroad is often comparatively cheaper than trying to buy an
imported model in one’s own country!
So what goes into a shipment? There is particular preparation you need to
do before the bike is loaded and shipped.
Import and export laws are different for each country, so work with a
good logistics shipping company to get all the right paperwork and
documentation. Preparation for shipping
then includes draining all the fluids (gas, oil, etc.) and cleaning the bike to
avoid any safety issues. Used
motorcycles usually also have their batteries disconnected as well. Then, perfectly measuring the bike and packing
it accordingly so it doesn’t sustain damage is the next step.
Don’t be worried about the details. That is why you work with a reliable
logistics shipper! The cost is less than
you think, and the professional expertise is, well, priceless.
