Hello and welcome to the forum,

Hi Edward:
Welcome to the HUBB community. Have a look at the link that Mark provided, many of us have shipped our motorcycles from Canada to Europe many times, and there is a wealth of information available here in the forum.

Try Motorcycle Express - I can testify that, when I was researching, they were the easiest and cheapest and when we went with them the service, flight, everything was faultless.

I second that suggestion. I've used Motorcycle Express several times in the past and always been happy with their service.
Ask them to quote you both Canada-UK (implies London) and Canada-Paris (or Amsterdam). It's very expensive to ship in and out of the UK, especially in and out of London, and considerably less expensive to ship in and out of Paris or Amsterdam.
If you are in Eastern Canada, ask them to quote prices ex Toronto and ex Montreal. Sometimes it is cheaper to ship out of Montreal, and it's only a 5 hour ride from Toronto to Montreal.

Absolutely PE, we flew from Paris to Montreal, which was the cheapest option. We were on the same flight as the bikes so went straight to cargo. 2 hours after landing we were riding our bikes - brilliant

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.
