Sup guys. been awhile. Ive been back in the states for a bit. Bought my ideal project bike and will probably have it finished soon. its the kind of thing that I want to keep with me for a long time, probably never sell it. I'm trying to move back to NZ soon (at least after the bike is done) and if i can, i want to bring it with me.

But I already know that the international shipping for bikes is expensive, and quite a process compared to just shipping locally. Does anyone have experience or knowledge with this area?

+1 for Kiwishipping, they ROCK!

Just bought 2 bikes back from CA to Tga with them and cannot speak highly enough of their service and costs.

Musta bin ur attitude.
Couldn't have bin more attentive and helpful.
They got literally 100's of bike and cars waiting to travel in or out thur their warehouse.
I guess with this amount of business they can be selective!!:weep:

Drop me an email if you like. Let me know a bit about where from in the states etc etc. I've imported around 10 from the USA so far. All very easily and quite cheaply.
