Has anyone had any experience taking their bike over to the UK? I can retire in a couple of years and was thinking of taking one over to the motherland for a long ride to celebrate. It might be better to rent one; however, it just wouldn't be the same as taking your own.

I think it would take quite a long time to get it shipped out here... it's taking 7 weeks for some stock exhausts.

I like the way you say 'long ride' You could probably do England in a day (that's riding flat out for 5-6hours ). But most of your time would best be spent in the Lake District, beautiful scenery!!

Not sure of many places that would rent a BA or Speedy, that'd take some research.

The beer is good though

After a quick search, the best you could probably get is a T100 ($2000 deposit) from http://www.rental-motorcycle.com/europe/uk/london_rental.html

If it is something you want to research, check out either Uship (kind of like ebay for shipping, moving) or Elite Shipping .
