Ride 2006/2007

 

March 20
The bike reached Dallas yesterday and it took a while to get the customs process completed. I had to hire a customs broker (Rhonda) to get the process finalized. I also had to pay the receiving freight dock. I paid
$1346.01 to the freight company for the sea and land freight for shipment from Buenas Aires to Dallas. I paid the freight dock $50 and the customs broker $150 for the paperwork processing at D/FW. My Mother and Dad drove over and picked up the bike and returned it to their house. I rode over there after work and it took my Dad and I less than 30 minutes to have it off the trailer.
