Transport of Bike from Germany to London

#1 PostAuthor: Z1_Kerry » Fri Apr 04, 2008 10:38 pm

Guys, Anyone know of a bike transporter who can shift a bike from Germany to the UK. I don't want to have to crate the bike up but want to shift it as a roller. Bike goes and needs to be delivered to NW London. Thanks KP

If I didn't have a business to run I would volunteer to ride it back for expenses. I wonder if there's anyone in the club with a bit o spare time? I think it would be quite fun to ride a bike back from Germany.

Yes we will be there at the Ace ,but we are coming on our bikes.So it is a little bit difficult to transport a bike from Germany to London.

Hi guys, Sorry for the sloppy response. Tied up with a birthday last night and woke this morning to find my Internet provider decided to have sunday off. Seems he gave the server a day off as well. Still not totally working and email is not even responding. This is what ya get when one tries to get Internet on the cheap
Davy, I contacted the fellow you gave me but he wanted the biked packed. I asked him to confirm to what level of packing but seems he's away until monday or tuesday. I sent him another email yesterday
Guys, I haven't quiet completed the sale but the bike isn't registered and whilst it is a goer (I'm told), hasn't been run for some time so wouldn't trust it to be ridden for a few hundred miles. I thought I would get it professionally transported but a little hard to find anyone from here.
Guys, if you know of any specialists I'm all ears. I've asked an Ozzie agent here if it can be shipped direct from Germany but he reckons the best call is to go from London as they have containers coming here regularly. Seems you guys are shipping the Kiwis back and some spare container space is available KP. :smak2

KP whereabouts in Germany is it as I know a Euro driver who covers some parts of the country, it's a long shot but worth asking him.

Hi Steven, Location is Essen on the A40. Somewhere around Dusseldorf and Kohln. Not to far into Germany from what I can see on a map
Cheers and Thanks mate. KP

Hello KP, I managed to contact the driver but unfortunately he is running up from Spain at the moment, it was worth a try, hope you get sorted. Steve
