Get Routed.
KennyE,
Thanks for the tip - I went to their site, but the dates and their landing in Portland in July doesn't suit my plans. I would like to get to the HU meeting in BC in mid June with a cruise up the west coast before hand. Also It means that I will miss a fair amount of the summer season for a Prudhoe bay run.
So timing is out, but they do sound like the people to use for shipping.
I bit the bullet and spoke at length with DGM (Dangerous Goods Management Brisbane 07 3260 2366) regarding the DG side of it. They want me to have the bike inspected there, fuel out, battery disconected etc. Steve quoted me AUD$121.00 to have the DG side all sorted.
Then on to Qantas with the completed form
(1300 373 444 - when the bird says "menu has changed" etc, press 1 1 1. It will get you straight through)
where it can be freighted un-crated. I have been quoted AUD$1675.00 all inclusive for 300kg to LA. Un-crated translates into "All care - no responsibility", so unless the plane crashes, why not.
This is similar to Get Routed's one way price to Portland. So I will go with Qantas for the speed.
Of course this is all theoretical - all it has been is phone calls and such at the moment.
Regards Ben.
