Thanks for post Kel. I too have been doing research, and as the bike will be shipped along with my household effects, some of the costs will be spread across the entire shipment. As regards the duties, not eligible until I obtain perm resident, but will have to pay in the end after the initial temp import period. Quarantine is more an issue for cars, I believe the crate needs to have a hatch to spray fumigants through and nothing more. I will give you the official story and damage once done. Still not content on how to tie the bike down to ensure stability for 5 weeks and avoid damage to bodywork and frame. Maybe someone else will reply ...

Seems like a lot of trouble, but we're all on this list for a reason, and will not part with our babies without a fight and without some greenbacks, something we're all used to. If you have a sec, shoot me some riding areas offline so I can take into consideration for the ultimate purchase of a home.
