In 2002 I flew my Pan to Vancouver with Air Transat and used HC Travel to do all the paperwork - cost £1700 return. Then I also needed a ticket for myself. Expensive but I'd just taken early retirement, so what. By the way it's much cheaper to fly your bike to a Canadian airport than a US one. Crossed the US in six weeks and flew back from Toronto.
Next year I shall ship my bike to the US from Southampton to New York - Wallenius Line (Tony White 02380-637233) - cost now about £500 single. Leaves every Wednesday for one of four east coast ports. I fly out a few days later. Trip - East Coast to West Coast and back again, 3 months.
Neither are cheap but unless you are only going for a couple of weeks, much better to take your own bike.
