03-13-2011, 05:02 PMSo here's the situation. After riding some 6000km through SE Asia, I've grown extremely attached to my Shineray. Sure, there are more capable bikes, even ones with engines that don't explode, but I just don't want to part with my Long March...
The problem: I'm returning back to the States in early April. Does anyone have any thoughts on shipping a Chinese motorcycle back to the US? Done it before? What hideous amount of paperwork will I have to do and is it even possible with US customs?
If I am going to attempt this, I'd be shipping the bike from Phnom Penh (a whole other story) to Los Angeles. I'm less concerned with getting the thing on a slow boat from Asia, but more about what all it would take on the US side. I know the Shineray would never be street legal in Cali (probably...), luckily I still have family in New Mexico (zero emissions laws...). I know nothing about the import laws, may be impossible, but definitely worth trying.
Any advice or thoughts, let me know. I need to keep this bike.
