Experience with Getrouted

I send Quantas an E-mail to ask for a price,to get my Harley from Frankfurt to Melbourne,in a crate LxWxH=2,6mL 1,5mH 1,0mW 400kg weight.Price:2990€ and 150€ Handling and dangerous goods handeling in Fankfurt. Total cost 3140€ (4540$aus) one way. I think that the Getrouted price is good.
Chris.

Chris/ Graham and Sue and all other wandering souls headed to OZ late 2010

I am shipping over (from US) with GetRrouted, loading two bikes (one for me one for wife) Sept. 20th. They say 5 weeks to get there m/l. So what are your time lines? Maybe we can get up a gang and get lost together.

Bob

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
