Anyone got any contacts in the shipping world? Looking to ship a bike from Greece to Israel, utterly clueless as to where to start. -- TD 2000 GSX1300RX (red and black) Missing: SOB, Unreliable Italian exotica, cage - What with the Internet, it doesn't take long to feel like one is an - expert on any subject these days.
wouldn't it be easier to fly to israel and take it over to greece on a ferry (via Cyprus, I imagine)?
Stick it on a plane, see James Cargo http://www.jamescargo.co.uk/ Shipping a bike is unreliable unless you are not bothered about you and the bike being there at the same time.
Wah. 'The "European Broadcasting Area" is bounded on the west by the western boundary of Region 1, on the east by the meridian 40° East of Greenwich and on the south by the parallel 30° North so as to include the western part of the USSR, the northern part of Saudi Arabia and that part of those countries bordering the Mediterranean within these limits. In addition, Iraq, Jordan and that part of the territory of Turkey lying outside the above limits are included in the European Broadcasting Area.'
A quick search on google.gr for "greece-israel transport" didnt' reveal much, but here's a couple of sites that Google ads presented. http://www.grsamson.gr/main.php?index (English) http://www.beinoglou.gr/index.htm (English) http://www.astrametaforiki.gr/diethneis.htm (in Greek, so try google translate) I didn't check the sites' contents, I just picked the three more likely to be able to solve your problem judging from the pics/general description. Furthermore, you can try asking a question on www.moto.gr, the largest Greek motorcycle forum I'm aware of. Everyone speaks a bit of English and there's a lot of helpful people in there. Not sure if you need to register first.
Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, TD Crate it up, stencil it with the phrase for "Motorcycle Handle with Care", which is "Agi ftfro m Hezb ull ah". Then arrange to have it delivered by a small fishing boat, preferably at night to avoid damage from the heat of the day. Simples!
Cheers, very helpful indeed. -- TD 2000 GSX1300RX (red and black) Missing: SOB, Unreliable Italian exotica, cage - What with the Internet, it doesn't take long to feel like one is an - expert on any subject these days.
