    Import Motorcycles

    Here is some info, I was talking to some of my 1%er friends over in Alcoy/Guiwang. They told me they can help out to get bikes registered for a couple hundred dollars, by a guy in Cebu. I'm only sending over a Sportster in a rigid frame that I have about $3500 into. Two boxes are under $200 per box. The question is, if you have a much more expensive bike are you willing to take the chance...I think not. I would not hesitate to send over motor cross, or enduro's in boxes, even a few smaller bikes. I plan to send it after I return from the Phils in January. I will post how it turns out. Any added info will be greatly appreciated.

    importing motorcycles

    hello kermit,

    i saw your post on pulling apart bike parts to ship to philiippines as spares and then putting them together and reg them in philippines. i'm thinking of doing that on a vespa scooter that i want to purchase from the US. can you hook me up with your friend who does it or if he can at least tell me how to go about it... i'd really appreciate it. thanks

    Its all well and good to have friends in customs and friends at the LTO but just don't sit around your beers at night complaining about corruption in the PI when the day is done...

    oh and a couple of hundred dollars to get a bike through LTO? That sounds a little expensive. I just got a multi cab licensed without the proper papers for an extra p1,500
