My Experience: Shipping a Dyna to Europe from the U.S.A./Canada

Hi folks. In this thread, I will detail all that I went through to ship a 2009 H-D Street Bob to Frankfurt, Germany from Chicago temporarily (for personal vacation use).

Please stay tuned...

My RG stood in the shipping depot in Houston for over 6 weeks, then 3 weeks on a boat to get to England.
