Every time I go to Wales to visit the wife's family I run into the same problems.I hope to ship the bike over when I retire in 3 years or so and spend 4-6 weeks touring parts of Europe.

I checked in to renting a bike on my last trip to England and it was around $350/day with the exchange rate. So, for a 10 day trip that would be $3,500 right there. That's why I've considered shipping mine over and staying longer to make it worthwhile.
Maybe renting other places in Europe would be cheaper and I will check into that.
I've also read that some guys ship their bikes over, ride them, then sell them there because they get top dollar.
Sorry to get off the original subject.

I'm not sure but I know it'll be expensive. From limited research, I'm guessing between $2K-3K by air and maybe between $700-$1,000 by sea. I haven't gotten a quote yet as my trip won't be for a few years.

About $750 per week Road King. Of course if you factor in insurance and breakdown cover that makes a difference.

Also, the exchange rate was much higher then than what it is currently, I think it was around $1.75 or $1.80 if memory serves. So, at the time, using my feeble mind, I figuered it would have been close to $350 so told the guy thanks but no.
