Comments: 

...I have just air freighted my NTV650 from LA to Sydney for far less money than any other agent in the US was able to and whats more, the company - ETC International Freight Systems - appeared to know more about freighting bikes than the rest!

The price charged by ETC included crating in the strongest crate I've ever seen and all associated documentation. The dimensions of my bike were 2.4m x 0.8m x 1.2m. The airline they used was Malaysian Airlines and they seem to have a special deal with them as the price which appeared on the Airway Bill was around $3500!

At ETC's premises I was able to prepare the bike for freighting ie. drain oil, fuel, radiator coolant and dismantle/ disconnect various bits and pieces.

Compton is a suburb of LA. The nearest train station is Dell Amo which is an hours walk away!
