Importing a bike to the UK
Does anyone have any experience of importing a bike into the UK?
I'm a UK citizen in central America with a US bike. Originally I had planned on shipping it to South Africa and riding around southern Africa but I've had so much trouble and cost with this bike but I'm now thinking I can't aford to do that and I should cut my losses and ship the bike back to the UK and import it. (I can't really, leagally sell it in central America)
But this is something I haven't really looked into yet so I'm just fishing for some advice. Has anyone done this? Is there anything I should do/could do now before I stick it on a boat that would speed/aid the process or is it just a case of shipping it and then sorting it all out when I get home?
