Bike freight shipping from Sidney to South Africa

Hi,

We already post this message some other place but I am posting it here so maybe someone else can read it.

We need to ship the bike from Sidney to SA, we want to ship it by boat and when it travels there, go to New Zealand for some riding.

Do you any company that provides this service?? Cost?? Time it takes for the trip??

Thanks a lot

Jose

+ for Stwart. He shipped our bikes Melbourne to Johannesburg 3 weeks ago.
His service is excellent, but be aware that his contacts at the other end are still searching for their own backsides - and I gave them a map...
FWIW, we paid SAR1000 per bike to a freight agent to shuffle paper and SAR850 to collect the crate from SAA. These numbers equate to Au $100 and Au $85 respectively. Fast, friendly efficient at Saa Cargo, but the freight dude wasted 4 days for us.

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.
