Dodgy,

Working in the import/export industry, I see many individuals who have set out on similar dreams to yours, but have ended up wondering why they bothered! There are many costs along the way which you may not be made aware of - cleaning, crating, transport, shipping, port fees, MAF inspection fees, container fees, more storage, more transport etc. etc.

Hint - get yourself a really good agent. They will know the best way to do things. I would suggest finding a NZ agent who can help you before you go and then again once you bring bike home. This way it will be easier to address any issues once home, rather than trying to contact a German agent!

I can help with some contacts if required.

But, think of that adventure! How much is that worth to you? And you're not doing this for financial gain.

Good luck.
