Watch as we crate our BMW R1150GSs ready for air freight to Kuala Lumpur.
After having some fresh rubber put on the bikes at Motolife BMW in Caloundra, we quickly rode them home to begin the boxing process. We didn’t know it at the time, but we happened to do all this work on the hottest day recorded this year on the Sunshine Coast – damn it was hot!
We’d like to thank Nick Kassis from Freightnet International in Melbourne for organising all of the logistics for us – very helpful and professional and we’d highly recommend his services to anybody else needing to freight their bikes out of Australia. We also need to thank Remedia and the Five Plus Art Gallery again, as their kind support has made flying the bikes possible. Many thanks also to Shaun Gardener for letting us use his fine tunes. Check him out on Spotify!
As this message is posted, the bikes are mid air enroute to Bangkok, before they change planes to head to KL, and we’re off at 9am tomorrow morning to meet them – shit’s about to get real!

Our bikes sat outside in the direct sunlight after a tyre change, and it was properly toasty to sit on!
This is what a bike looks like when it comes out of the crate
Hope you had a good flight ..take care
Am in awe and envy of your preparation and blog techo site. Cheers Geoff Ginnivan
