A 20' container should be a good size for 3 bikes + workshop gear. Might even be able to pack a bit of other stuff around the bikes to serve as padding.

Do I detect a slight note of cynicism / sarcasm in there - her indoors wants to take lounge suite / couple of semi antique items / cat etc !!!

A 20' container for everything? Or a 20' container for your workshop? That's the main reason I've never moved overseas,I'd never be able to take all my stuff.Shifting house is bad enough,more distance is more problems.I needed to put up a 6x12 shed to shift in here....and the cars stay outside.

She's planning to ship the cat in a container ? Call the RSPCA! Or do you mena a caterpiller bulldozer. That would be cool.

That's metres, by the way. Not feet.

living in the UK means that I have had to learn to have only what I need - not what I would like!
I had to get rid / leave a couple of sheds full of stuff last time I moved from NZ to UK, so I know where you're coming from.

Take as much as you can Don, tools and equipment will be last on your list when you get here as they are only essentials when something gives out. Things like lathes and mills- if you know they are good and your happy to use them for what you need then keep em. Especially if they have all the attachments and tooling you commonly use- those bits can really add up and are frustrating if you don't have them.

You only need two tools: WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't
move and should, use the WD-40. If it shouldn't move and does, use
the duct tape

Unfortunately, those of us with big v-twins need a third tool - a big hammer!!!

[SARGE]

gosh .. wish we had a resident tool-guy so we knew where to get all that stuff....

oh... wait ..

What a crass & blatant plug. Bet they don't do self powered timing lights (better for race bikes without 12v or other bikes that it is a pain to get to the battery).

. . . erm, oh they do, actually it isn't a bad site.

hmm, can't spring for the rinky dinky one, wonder if the budget one is ok.

Ahh see! - they don't have a midrange priced one. (can't please some people huh?).
