Subject: FW: getting a Goldwing crated & shipped ex Sydney


Good afternoon.

My name is Ivan Smoljko. I run a motorbike shipping company in Melbourne called Bikes Abroad and ship motorbikes to/from Australia around the world. 

I would like to ask whether you can provide some advice on the best place to get a crate big enough to house a 1998 Honda Goldwing 1500 or if there is any possibility one of your members may know of a crate I can get my hands on

I will be arranging the export of this Goldwing from Sydney to Santiago Chile for a Italian rider who has travelled 750,000 km on the original engine and attempting to be the first Goldwing to travel 1,000,000 kilometres.     

You can find link below to the riders website

http://www.gold-wing.it/

I would be greatly for any information you can provide to ensure smooth export shipping frojm Australia

I can be contacted on this email address or alternatively on 0466 965 460 anytime

Rgds
Ivan

That is definitely some serious Km. Only 5 years to go.
I wonder what is the most Km on an ST1100 & ST1300 ?

There's a gold 1100 owned by a mate of mine in Cairns with in excess of 250,000kms on it. Still going strong although it's now semi retired as the owner has bought a VFR800X.
