Michael (PanEuropean on the HUBB) said: "I was quite pleasantly surprised to see that they (MC Express) are covering every country in Europe (and parts of Asia) with the sole exception of Iran and Iraq. In other words, for the first time in the last 4 years, they are now covering Bosnia and Hertzogovena, as well as Serbia and Montenegro, Macedonia, Bulgaria, and Romania. In past years, they have not covered Bosnia, Hertzogovena, and Serbia. Although I don't plan to visit these countries this year, it's quite remarkable to note that they are all finally covered."

Motortransport Netherlands - Motorcycle shipping from Rotterdam, Netherlands to USA, Australia, Asia and other locations. From Peet van Dam - Mail glob...@mainport-rotterdam.com - "We are a transport company with our own warehouse and customs facilities in Rotterdam. But first of all I am a person that wants to ride on my motorcycle and my wife as well and that is the reason why I am shipping motorcycles from Rotterdam. I have experience in transport for almost 20 years. The motorcycle can be brought to our warehouse and I arrange everything, documents etc. We offer a great back up (most by e-mail) so we can guide the persons with no loss of time and they have only to report and everything is arranged. We all speak English. And we have a website."

From: Roelandt Herbert, Belgium "It is possible to transport your motorcycle from Belgium to France, Austria, Italy or Switzerland by train. This is also possible for motorcycles with sidecar and/ or trailer. You can travel on the same train yourself. I used the Narbonne route a few times in wintertime and I found it very convenient. It brings you overnight close to the Spanish border, you do not have to pay for the road and expensive petrol, no problems with traffic or weather conditions and saves one day of travel and accommodation. More information on www.nmbs.be, in railway stations or travel agents. (Nederlands) (English) (Français) (Deutsch) Denderleeuw railway station tel.: +32-9.241.26.26 Bressoux railway station tel.: +32-4.229.25.83 "
