Lemme see if I can get in touch with a buddy who just had his GL1200 shipped to Colombia. Standby, will advise. | ||

Update, Doz... my guy just emailed me. He's looking into it... says it's dang easy compared to what he just had to do. He and his wife live in Colombia. Just shipped his 1984 GL1200 there, but it was a nightmare due to incompetence, a forest of red tape trees and squirrels. He FINALLY has it home, waiting to get it re-registered for the road. He had been here in the USA this past summer, on a 4 year late honeymoon with his beautiful native Colombian wife, Gloria. We met at Alcoa Wal-Mart parking lot, me riding my PC800. People Of Wal-Mart, Indeed!!!  | ||

Thanks Squids, so far I've been quoted $1k to ship "parts". For two reasons. Tax on parts is less than a complete bike and size of crate. | ||

Doz: Please check in to registering your machines in the UK before you ship them. Registering overseas machines/cars can be a nightmare (DAMHIK). The DVLC (Vehicle registration Admin' in in the UK) is notoriously slow, pernickety, and expensive. They do not like any non-standard parts on imports (Mufflers, Race controllers, Parts for off-road use only) Obviously, YMMV. Good luck.... |
