Drop me a line if you're here too.

Cleared
We managed to clear customs with alot less hassle than I thought.
Having confirmed the bikes had arrived, our shipped took us to the main release desk of the customs warehouse. We were given a copy of our air waybill and told to head to the 6th floor of the main admin building to have our carnets stamped. They did not even want to see the bikes. The main admin building is easy to find, having done that we headed back to the warehouse were we had to pay a airport handling admin fee which is calculated on the weight of the shipment. In out case is was 10 pounds each.
After another stamp, the friendly folk lift driver delivered our bikes they were release and dropped on the loading bay part of the airport. We were then free to start putting them together.
The process started at 10.00 and we were finished at 2.30pm and ready to ride away. Upon leaving they stop you at the main gate to have another look at your carnet and then they wave you off. The ride into to KL is easy enough and after 9000 km of Indian roads the Malysian traffic and roads are a bliss. No Horns in Malaysia!!! By 5.00pm we were sitting in out hotel with our bikes.
It was all too easy in my opinion!!!
Cheers
Jim
