vladivostok, russia to anchorage, alaska
Anybody out there got a line on an air cargo flight
that will take my KLR from Vladivostok, Russia to
Anchorage? Cargo company must carry DG's (Dangerous
Goods) so the average cabbage carrier wont do. Also
need to know who/where I can get a crate/box built for
it? Reply off list to globeridergreg@...

Greg,
Something that you might want to check out. A group of us had to ship
our KLR's back to the US awhile back. We discovered that if we drained
the gas tanks (which we would have had to do anyway) and most
importantly removed (and threw away) the bikes' batteries, they were no
longer hazardous goods for shipping purposes. Once we got them back to
the US, we had to go buy new batteries. Even with the cost of the new
batteries, we still saved several hundred dollars a bike.
Interpretations of shipping regulations seem to vary alot, so it may not
work for you, but it is worth a try.
If you are having trouble finding shippers and crating companies check
with the local air freight forwarders (I don't what they are called in
Russian). You might want to check with FedEx and DHL. FedEx will carry
bikes. Alternately check with freight arms of any big airlines that fly
from Vladivostok to Anchorage. They may not carry things that big but
they should know who does.

African or European?
When you start making your own hard luggage out of fiberglass fuel
tank repair kits, I think you'd have made Grand Poobah of the list
cheapos.
