Comments: 

I concur with other positive comments made about Gail and Motorcycle Express.  She got my bike on same plane that I was on, thanks to her referral to the Canadian ticket agent.  Motorcycle Express ships to and from all major Canadian cities. 

I landed at 7 am at Gatwick and rode right out of the airport about 3 hours later. Taxi to customs warehouse; waited a few minutes; out of there. 

Her compay also sells Europe-wide liability insurance.  Gail also put me in touch with the required import agent, Les Black, in London. 

I didn't even see or have to deal with Customs, except for a one page form filled out before I left and emailed to Les.  All contact with everyone was by email, always with prompt responses.  Gail arranged this whole thing, from first contact to delivery in two weeks. 

I've shipped my machine inter-continental 8 times and this was easiest ever and only one exactly on time as promised.  Really incredible.  Mention HU and get a modest discount.  Cheers.
