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,

Sturgis?? And have to spend all that extra on chrome and clothing? No way Jose. If I get my bike to the States, I'm riding. With these guys. Too much to see as it is.
