Shipping bikes from Goa to UK
Just wanted to share the love and let everyone know about a shipping agent I used for shipping my bike from Goa to the UK. I used a chap called Mathew Dias who owns an organisation called Lynn Packers & Movers.
His details are:

It was a very reasonable price - it worked out at around GBP500 per bike (there were two bikes (both R1150GS - so pretty big - I guess it'll be cheaper if your bike is smaller)) and it took about five weeks to get the bike back to the UK. Mathew sorted out all of the paperwork, including getting my carnet stamped, collected the bike from where I was in Goa and packing of the bike. The bike made it to the UK in one piece and when I picked it up I was able to see the crate he'd made which seemed up to the job. While I wouldn't necessarily say that the crate was the most robust in the world (!) it was strong enough to allow a bike which has been through a considerable amount between leaving the UK nearly a year ago to reach the UK without any other extra dents!
Anyway, if you need someone to ship a bike and you're in Goa then Mathew's the man!! It seems he also can help with shipping Enfields out from the UK to India as he does alot of this type of work.
Any questions drop me a line.
