Steve, it's costing me $500 Shipping US Coast to AU Coast, + $450 to get the bike from Pacific Grove to Long Bch which is 500kms.SteveD wrote:What would it cost to ship a /6 from Tenessee to Melbourne d'ya think?
I'd suggest emailing Joey at Schumachers for a quote, tell him where in Tennesee it is, he's been really quick on getting back to me on any questions I've had. Email: joey@sclusa.com

Boy oh boy, I wish I could be the one to transport the bike from Pacific Grove to Long Beach. That's about a five to six hour ride. Pacific Grove is about seven hours North of me.
You will love that bike. They are eager companions.

Sounds like you need to hire a rider to get your bike to the coast. I am available for cheap.SteveD wrote:What would it cost to ship a /6 from Tenessee to Melbourne d'ya think?

PS Well, there is the fact that I did get lost on my first test ride on a BMW. I'm not the best navigator so it may take me a little extra time. (Full disclosure and all that)

Steve, the only extra cost I can envision and am aware of.....like Death,... is Customs Import Duty payable before release/ Clearance. I've heard its around 15%, the trick is to do the obvious to keep it down. So that was Schumacher's quote?
