Yesterday morning, I handed my motorcycle over to a young lad, Andrew. He flew in from Colorado, with a plan to ride it back home. The first thing he did of course was take apart my bike and install my old 16T sprocket in for the highway:
$4750 later, and he was gone with my bike. I’m glad it went to someone who is going to use the bike for what it was designed for: Long trips and off-road fun.
Yesterday evening was spent doing spreadsheet jockeying. We had to list each individual item we were bringing to Belgium. We had insurance forms that wanted things categorized into little areas, and customs forms that just wanted everything.
We ended up shipping 2,119 items via sea, and 54 items via air. Our air shipment will arive at about the same time we do, so we included things like my desktop machine, two bicycles, bicycle helmets, a sewing machine, and all of the requisite cables and locks. The sea shipment had everything else, even my old NeXTstation:
5 hours after the movers came, our things were on our way to Belgium.
Our best estimate for the arrival for the sea items is January 28th to February 10th. I am hoping that we will have found an apartment to rent out by this time. Sadly, we won’t be able to begin house hunting until Jan 12th, and have to inform the landlord of our intent to extend rent one more month by Jan 17th. I’m hoping for the best here!
Now onto the three days of cleaning our house out before we put the house up on the rental market. Thanks for sharing in my adventure!
