updated quote from vancouver to frankfurt

[Danette]

I'll fill out the shipping info section too but just in case. I've been calling around to a lot of places and in the end I was going to use Stefan at Knoff tours in Germany to ship our bike over to Frankfurt. I have finally found a local company called MID Forwarding. I got there name through the Los Angles Lufthansa Cargo department. I spoke to Bruno who is a back pack traveller himself. I have a quote for Air Transat for $1475 CANADIAN and $2400 for Lufthansa Canadian for the end of May, one way for a 2002 BMW 1150 GS. Bruno says they build the platform around the bike and the price includes the taxes

... I forgot to mention you get your own container, ride the bike in, strap it down and off it goes. You can also get on the same plane etc., if you want to.
