Comments: 

I had a little trouble organizing with Air Canada at first. But if you talk to the right people they will get it done for you. If you talk to Vera (SWEETHEART) at Air Canada Cargo, tell her Kurt recommended that she will take care of things. She will fill out the dangerous good form out for you (if your nice). Or you can talk to Terry he is very helpful as well.

You must bring your bike 48hrs before hand drain the tank to reserve level, disconnect the battery and tape the ends. Have your destination address with you, they require that. Drive it up the ramp and say bye bye. Then you will meet up with it at Air Canada Cargo on the other end.

I highly recommend Scotland as being your drop off point. They go out of their way to get you on your way. And try and book an early arrival time so you can assemble your gear and get a good start in the morning. All costs were with Air Canada Cargo I never incurred any other costs of taxes, neither in Scotland after that.(God bless those haggis eating people)
