Or R3 crate. Dunno if they are semi assembled or not.

Pretty sure only the HD crate allows the bike to be loaded 'as ridden' .. you don't have to remove the front wheel , handlebars or whatever.

Very cool info guys. Thanks for helping out.

OK, finally got onto it.
Spoke to the guy I know out here and he said,
He has an agent that he uses weekly out of LA.
At least 4 to 6 bikes would make it feasible as costs with a 20 foot container return shipping, all import/export paperwork etc would be between 7 & 8K AUD (6 bikes is about $1333.00 each)
Sea freight out of LA to Melbourne is about 3 weeks.
Drained of fuel and battery disconnected & taped
Need a metal frame (no timber) to hold the bike so it could be strapped inside a container... he is going to send me a picture of ones made to send some bikes out from Europe
If anyone is interested I can forward the contact details

Hope this helps and abit of food for thought.
Cheers,

I hate to say it but that sounds way out of my reach

it is that figure divided by the amount of bikes going, so 6 bikes is about $1333.0 each return

You mean 1333 each way?

Cost $435 to get my Rocket from Melbourne back home to Brissy .. roughly the same amount of time as well ..that's a ripper deal I reckon.

Getting the fuel tank into the condom is going to be the 'big issue' I reckon .. the rest is easy-peasy. Hope some of you blokes can come see our beautiful country and spend some time with some really good blokes ( I am not one of them good blokes ) .. hahaha.

Shouldn't be a problem. We have Texas condoms available.

I do have kids and I tell them regularly that I'm spending their inheritance

Truthfully though...I got each of them through university and kick started in life...the rest is up to them. The grand kids now that's a different story . I spoil the $hit out of them, load them up on sugar and caffeine then send them home to their parents and laugh my @ss off.

Three divorces and a touch of cancer has me back almost to square one. Actually, there isn't much difference in divorce and cancer. Both leave you broke and feeling like crap.
