Get a big enough crate for me to fit in!!

[rcgbob44]

If its of any help I`m going to ProTwins tomorrow to collect some pannels and my seat unit and I will ask them about there old crates.

Where are you?

Hi, the new bikes come in a metal crate, strapped in with a cardboard cover on (which isnt very protective)

the crates get shipped back to the logististics company and find there way back to the factory.

I wouldnt recommend using one to ship a bike in really.

there are some bike transport companies that pack the bike for you. have a play with google maybe.

Yes please Bob !
Doesn't matter cos i'll travel to collect some.

Hmmm - are they all the same Wilf ?

I'll second that!

Some transport companies we have used, strap the bike into a van as you may do yourself. It depends where you are going from and to.

Others require a full wooden crate built to spec by the shipping company for use with pallet trucks and fork lifts.

Good luck and safe trip.

Ok cheers guys.

Bikes need shipping to Oz from UK - they specify which wood we use too!

Plan B then

[Dougducati]

Ride 'em there!!!
