A baggage handler, flight friendly, packed bike! Fingers crossed it arrives in Washington DC in one piece!

ReplyDeleteGood luck mate, you'll soon be there.
Nicely packaged Bro, with those skills you could get warehouse work at our place!!! lol
ReplyDeleteNice packing job, just make sure you tape the hand-holds. Baggage handlers can be a bit forceful and can tear the box, but dont cover them or the box will be kicked/pushed/shoved around if they cant pick it up. Good luck with your trip! Rich.
ReplyDeleteTop tip Stato, I'll tape the handles tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteLooking Good, hope to see you in a few months
ReplyDeleteGood job mate - done that before? Or did you need to get some advice.
ReplyDeleteOf course, it's always possible that you just used good common sense and gumption ;-)
Think it was good common sense and gaffa tape!!
