Air Freight or share container from Malaysia to North America

We're looking to ship a couple of XT's from Malaysia to North America, preferably to Vancouver in April/May 2011 and have started the usual process of looking at different shipping companies for either air or sea freight.

Just thought i'd put it out there in case anybody either has some information/advice (on any part of the process including requirements for Canada and the USA) or is interested in some sort of container share.

I await the barrage of people wanting the same to reduce our costs to near zero.......

James

Well, we're not quite in Malaysia, but glad to hear you're continuing your travels! We've just spent most of the day getting our bikes cleaned ready for shipping them from Brisbane to Auckland. I'm now going to eat my dinner off my rear sprocket and us my spokes for chop sticks! Dropping the bikes off on Monday so should be in Auckland next weekend.

Maskargo

Hi again, we met at the Mutt Mee Guesthouse, I was the old guy on the red BMW.
I shipped with Maskargo from KL to Brisbane about 3 weeks ago, very easy and at $1010 quite a good deal. They have flights from KL to Los Angeles 3 times aweek, no crate required, straight on the pallet and away you go.
Ride safe John

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
