Title: You guys are so frickin' lucky !
Post by zipidachimp on 02/08/22 at 21:21:11

Spent a cloudy, boring Sunday afternoon exploring the innerwebs, especially Craigslist and specifically Craigslist in San Diego, Portland and Seattle since they are in a straight line from where I live.
Wow! discovered that of the bikes I like, I can buy 2 to 3 low mileage bikes in the US for the price of a decent bike up here.
Ex: 2016 S40 $1500, lots of cool bikes in most of the 3 markets at really great prices, both dealers and private.
Will begin talking to customs brokers and see if I can catch a bargoon.
Cheers! 8-)

dont stop there, if you find out its doable get a car trailer, buy 4 or 6, pass em on for a good deal making enough to get one for you for free :)

The motorcycle market where I live is incredible. I live within 20 minutes of Cincinnati and there is a good selection - but the cool part is that Columbus and Dayton Ohio are less than 2 hours drive , and Louisville and Lexington Kentucky are about the same distance......and Indianapolis Indiana is just a bit farther to the west. The Craigslist has thousands of motorcycles for sale within a couple hours drive for me!

The majority of the bikes listed here in the midwest are big American V-Twins or the Japanese copies. In between those listings are a lot of nice dirt bikes, dual sport, adventure, sport, touring or vintage bikes. I used to see Savage motorcycles for sale on a regular basis - for some reason there have not been many listed recently.

Hard to believe, but exporting a vehicle from USA requires approval from US Border Control and Protection, 72 hours before exporting! Talk about red tape.

So if a tourist rides across the border and wrecks his bike, abandoning it with a local mechanic or friend... what then?

They coordinate with CBP to get it back across the border if they are shipping it.

OK, that's if the owner wants it back and pays for it.

If the owner abandons it?
