Motorcycle Express

I shipped my bike to Portugal last year using Motorcycle Express, Motorcycle Express - Ship Your Bike. It was super easy. The only hitch is I had to ship from Canada, as the U.S. TSA considered bikes hazardous material. This will be easier for you than me, had to ride from Georgia to Toronto.

The process could not have been easier. Cost? $1,500 give or take (my ticket was extra). I watched it get loaded on the plane from the gate and then I boarded the plane. Picked the bike up at customs the next day, got there on Sunday they were closed.

They ship to lots of European cities, not sure about Athens but, if you have to ride through Europe to get there that'll be your tough luck

Hope this helps,
Matt

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.
