Shipping an un-crated bike

[QABB]

Hey all,

I need to ship this:



From Sydney to country Victoria. Who would be best to use? - i don't want it damaged along the way.

Any tips?

Ride it?:p

Sorry, had to say it. Maybe bubble wrap it and courier. Would be expensive though.

[takai]

Busfreight?

What about going to your local motor cycle shop to see what surplus crates they have there?
I have required crates for items of equivalent size, and the M/Cycle shop is only too glad to hand them over. Some of the crates (O/S ones) are partly made of steel RHS and very strong. Generally they have to pay some recycler to take the boxes away, or are charged a fee at the dump by the Council.
The crates mostly have a pallet for the floor, so the bike can be wired to the floor if you want.

Its a QA50! Fold it up - thats what they were designed for in the first place.
Geez, those things are bloody rare now and that looks pretty intact, I hope its going somewhere it will be looked after?

Otherwise, go to your local purveyor of jinglingchongchingchan minibikes and grab an old crate. Motorbike shops go through an utterly ridiculous amount of crates.
Most minibikes just come in the crate with the handlebars off, if they are disassembled at all (Suzuki JR50's come crated in lots of two, fully assembled - add oil and fuel and off you go racing around the workshop).

Thanks guys, I'll investigate crationg options. Problem is I've bought it and its in Sydney - im in victoria so hopefully the current owner can crate it up.

And yeah, its a QA50 - I have three of them now, all in various states of restoration.

Hey thanks for the offer Southo - Shepparton is halfway to Sydney for me though!

Haha, bastard! I sold my two minitrails for $50 a long time ago. One of them still had the full complement of lights etc...
