shipping own bike Arizonaride?
 

Hi there, does anyone know if you would be allowed to ship your own bike from UK to US if your licence is in the A2 category (restricted) category..as long as the bike is in that category? Rentals are 21 years with full licence as I understand. thanks.

Nobody here in the US gives a crap about your restricted licence. It says motorcycle, that's good enough

100% correct. And remember, customs and immigracion officers are NOT police and don't deal with driver license's or insurance and could care less.

Police may (or may not) want to see a license of some sort but your passport is better. YOU DO NEED INSURANCE and be able to prove you've got it. So sort that before arrival. If you show USA Police a UK license it will be like ancient Sanskrit to them. Best you TELL THEM what it is ... as long as neither YOU or your bike are wanted/stolen ... you are all good. USA Insurance will ask if you have a MC license ... just say YES! NO such thing as restricted license here. A 16 year old can buy a new Hayabusa with NO TRAINING!

.... Someone might ask you why you'd waste a packet on shipping your bike over to USA when you can buy any bike for much less here than in the UK. doh

Uk /usa
 

I do know that if you import to a Canadian port of entry, Canadian cost are cheaper & US/Canadian border guards could care less as long as you have a DL & insurance.
Could save you a few Pounds, Euros or Dollars :clap:
