Crating

In early December, the KLRs were packed back into manufacturer crates for shipment to Port Klang in Malaysia.  Crating bikes is something of an art form.  Manufacturers spend lots of money determining how best to minimise the space required for a motorcycle.




Then, along come three monkeys like us who also want to pack three aluminium panniers, windscreens, crash bars, luggage, etc into this original crate.






A combination of strategy, planning, cunning and sheer violence eventually prevailed and the motorcycles were safely crated in time for pickup by Bikes Abroad.
