Comments: 

I shipped my Africa Twin last may from Darwin to Anchorage by air. The bike went by air to Los Angeles, then by truck up to Seattle and then by a freight plane to Anchorage.

Here are the facts:
Gross weight: 305kg;
dimensions: 227*85*130 = 419kg chargable weight;
costs: 5.65A$/kg = 2367A$ plus dangerous goods fee etc = total cost of 2522A$.

No crate needed. Compared to the airfare of 1890A$, the shipping was not that expensive.....

The Insurance broker InsuranceMart at 700W 6th Ave no208 in Anchorage can provide you insurance for about 580 U$ / Year. If you contact PROGRESSIVE (1-800-888-7764) you will save around 100U$. G'day mate, Markus
