Interstate Transport

Post by fitzy »

hi guys,

i'm in the process of possibly buying a bike in sydney and needing it transported to melbourne. the lowest quote i got so far is $315 door-to-door incl gst and insurance from http://www.motorbiketransport.com.au.

just wondering if anyone had any advice or suggestions.

(no one coming down for the wsbk with spare room in the ute/van/trailer? :D )

thanks fellas, sean.

yeah would definately do that mate, but it is a race bike, ie no rego, otherwise that would be the plan for sure.

have worked it out that driving up and back would be cheaper, but time is the biggest obstacle.

swabio - care to inform me on 'who not to use'?
