Hi Guys :)

I am shipping a Harley motorcycle in a container allong with all our posessions.

What do I need to do to get it registered in NZ?

Where do I take it? (going to Dunedin)

What about warrant of fitness or whatever?

What sort os costs are involved?

Anyone recommend a NZ insurance bike friendly insurance company?

Any help or advice much appreciated - container loading 28/03/06 :)

Cheers

Wynn

Yep got loads of advice, starting with DON'T :laugh:laugh:laugh

Try classic cover in christchurch for insurance, they cover new models too and were the cheapest by a fair way for us. http://www.classiccover.co.nz/

There is also a good bikers forum for advice, I'll look that up for you too.

Come prepared with all your ownership papers, receipts for purchase price and a current valuation may help (in NZ $) Customs will ask for this as you have to sign to say you will pay GST if you sell within 2 years.

Take pics of your bike showing it's condition before it is packed and get them witnessed by the shippers and lodge them with your insurers too (keeping a copy for yourself)

If you want any more info please ask or pm me, particularly on the VTNZ side of things.

There will be a few hurdles to jump over and loops tp jump through - but nothing too complicated... As people here will testify (including myself )

But man - when your bike does show up - is it worth it... !

Good luck with everything
