Shipping from US to Malaysia


Greetings fellow bikers. I decided to give up on shipping my bike to the Philippines and decided to get a carnet and ship to Malaysia. Malaysia seems to be much easier to deal with and from what I understand they provide up to 90day visas on arrival. Does anyone have a recommendation on a freight forwarder that can handle this? I am looking to do as much of the work in the process as possible to keep the cost down. Which port is the best to deal with in Malaysia? Also I would like to store the bike in Malaysia for a couple months while I travel in the Philippines, so I am looking for any suggestions on a safe place to store the bike. Cheers!

Philippines - Malaysia on your own bike

hey there,
are you still looking for advice for storage in MY or even going to the Philippines with your bike? I might have found a way, legal and with help from the Philippine governments.

Riding at present around the Philippines - real good experience with the locals, police and government - guess the old saying holds some wisdom - the way you treat them, the way they treat you!

Let me know - and if you are now in MY - go to Kota Kinabalu Mountains in Sabah - awesome!!!!

We've been looking for the same thing. Looking to ship the bike from the US (east coast) to Malaysia.
Did you have any look with shipping your bike?
Anyone want to share a crate (west coast will work too).

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive.
