Freight UK to Aust

[Booster]

Figure some here have had a bit of experiance shipping from the UK .

I want to bring in a package 1.7mx.75mx.75m and just over 200kgs.

Any suggestions for reliable cheap freight companys, one quote so far was for just under $2k AU, [:0] i was expexcting a little less!!!
Any tips welcome :D

[Johnnie5]

you could try www.getrouted.com.au

he does bike shipping but could surely fit a package in the container somewhere

Sounds like a small jet engine ...or maybe a medium size thermonuclear device.

What you up to Greg?

[Large]

That should get the spybots sniffing around...If you don't hear from me again, I'm prolly in Guantanamo

:D




P.S. I assume you're talking Sea freight?

[Booster]

I'll try them Jonnie5, not quite up there ally but you never know ... thanks

Yes Large sea freight , wanted a smaller garage heater, current one is a bit big so i'm ebaying it now.

A mate on another forum recommended this mob. Said he paid about 680 to ship a cbr to the UK...but that was a few years ago before GST

Thanks Guys i'll see where my enquires go . The Brittanic shipping is a dead link but i have mailed MJ and will talk to world wide.
Shipping from Newcastle under Lyme so i suppose liverpool is the closest shipping point.

So your going into the carpet cleaning business? ;)

[EXBEN]

That would make a hell of a back up generator for the farm booster ;)

[Booster]

If it ever rains it can power a big pump.

So I was right?

Making your own Y2K?

Edit;
AND he's a TV star as well, I was just watching 2 Wheel Torque & guess who was interviewed?
Bad luck on blowing the 'Bus up mate, I'm sure you won't be out of action for long.

[Jockney Rebel]

ere greg i thot u were kiddin mate ..but u really are a nutter

[Booster]

I wanted something fairly light,make good hp reliably and not cost the earth. sort of like a huge turbocharger on an engine but taking the less reliable pistons out of the way ;)
There was a y2k at the Bonneville WOS , had trouble with salt in the compressor ,

Long term i want to build a motorcycle streamliner with 2 wheel drive , hydraulic 2wd if i can get it to work.

Poor roadbike will have to wait a while to be fixed, couple of jobs i'm doing for others are a higher priority.just a bugger i may have to drive to the GP.

[Iceman]

Or put a plate on the track bike.

[Jockney Rebel]

boost .ill butt in here [being in the hydraulics game] you gonna use the Yamaha style of 2wd ?
ie run the pump for the front drive motor from the out put shaft to the rear wheel. so that when the rear spins it spins up the pump faster giving ur front wheel more drive thus giving ur bike a more balanced drive system.
a simple traction control device

[Booster]

I was thinking about a hydrostatic system from a big harvester (something i'm familiar with ) and a adjustable flow control valve or valves to find the correct lead for the front wheel.
I had not thought about the Yami system , it would be easier to do a mechanical type drive to the rear but the turbine is not very throttle responsive and the hydrostatics would give me instant throttle control and have the turbine set at constant revs.
What will work in practice may be entirely different .
Weight is not a problem and i plan on having 2.5-3 meters to pack everything in.size will help reduce gyroscopic probs of the turbine spinning along the axis too

Jim thanks for the Brittanic Shipping link there talking 310 GBP,
Worldwide are unavailable, and MJintnational have not replied

[Gix11]

Greg, I don't know what you have been smoking recently, but damn mate, I think I need to try some.

[qickdraw]

Booster - I use IFB Network out of Sydney for all my large sea freight import packages. Give them a bell on (02)9839 3100 and they can give you a rate from the dock in UK to your door.

[Booster]

Only breathing dust(brown) around here at the moment... The " what if " has been in mind for a while.

Thanks Stu but sort of committed to Brittanic now, they have replied to several emails and are based nearish the pickup point, but i do have to organise my own clearance at this end, and just happen to know a forwarding agent ;)

[Jockney Rebel]

GREG their pretty good them scousers i never had any greif getting my gear ,just cost me a day at botany that plan formulating in ur obviously deranged mind sounds like fun mate

[Booster]

Safety first Jim, if it wrecks i can't go back to the startline and do it again ,no fun in that.
