Advice on possible shipping routes needed.

Hello there,

Serious itchy feet syndrome, so me and my Blade would love it if any of you guys could let me know if the following shipping routes are possible. If they are do you have any idea how long they would take? Only interested in air freight by the way as I want the changeovers to be as quick as possible.

1) Istanbul to Bangkok
2) Singapore to anywhere in Japan.
3) Japan to Western Australia preferably Perth.
4) Sydney to anywhere in California, USA
5) Anywhere on USA east coast to Ireland.

Thanks a million in advance to anyone that might be able to help me here.

Sorry, I don't have any direct help available - what has struck me about this forum is the sheer size of it.
Somewhere in here will be an amount of advice on parts of your proposed route, maybe all of it, so a search may pull out a start point for you.

Just like the recent changes for recommended workshops and accommodation, this forum might benefit from being split into regions of the world -oceans/seas to be crossed rather than continents to be travelled??!

Good luck with the planning,

Talking Getting there - Shipping the Bike database - left menu

Have you checked out the shipping section - on the menu? Hundreds of shipments everywhere in there.

Oops no I didn't even see that! Just had a look though and it is full of great info and good advice for all my routes bar one. So if anyone out there knows of any company that would be able to ship from East Coast USA to Ireland I would love to hear from you.

Thanks again!

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.
