biffsgasgas Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 Congrats on the move! You will show up just in time for American Thanksgiving that next Thursday. Find a small turkey and have a feast. You might want to steer clear of the malls and shopping centers that following Friday. People tend to get trampled over shoes and electronics on that day. --Biff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smarty156 Posted August 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 So, the bad news is I've just spoken to an experienced shipping company and they say there's no way I can have the bike shipped over to the US. Anything with an engine (even a lawn mower) would not be allowed in. I guess the silver lining is I'll be getting a new trials bike at some point in the next few months!!

Cheaper than to ship a whole bike. And a fun task to re-assemble... If you are going for a new bike anyways, it doesn't matter too much. Finding a used bike was harder for me when I moved to the US, less bikes to choose from than in Germany. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fanticmatze Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 Copemech, I have been busy riding Trials, not much time for surfing the web. Translation was good enough for me to get the meaning. Take care! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
