I sold my Rocket 3 two years ago to a guy in England. Actually he lived in Portugal but he was English & the bike was going to be shipped back to England. At first I was very suspicious of any electronic transfer & after finding out how cumbersome & time consuming any check transaction was going to be I asked my bank {Wachovia} how best to handle it. They said exactly what the buyer had suggested to do. I did not want my main account numbers being given out to any overseas bank so I had a seperate account opened at Wachovia & he electronically transferred the $$ to the new account. 24 hrs later it was verified by MY bank & they transferred the money to our main account.
Simple, safe & clean. AFTER the money was secured I Fed-ex'd the title to a shipping company in south Florida & about 5 days later a truck appeared at my house to take it to the shipping port in Jacksonville.
Clean & easy. You just have to be cooperative with the shipping company & make sure there is less than 1/2 tank of fuel in the bike. Stuff any extra stuff you are selling with the bike in the saddlebags. Do the buyer a favor & make sure the battery is FULLY charged & put some Sta-bil in the gas because the bike will sit in "quarantine" for several weeks in the U.K.!
Don't be scared of an overseas transaction BUT... like ANY money transaction be sure your money is secured before you turn loose of the title or bike. Legit European buyers will have no problem with the process that way.
Bye bye to my baby!! :'(
That's a chromed out "anniversery" V-Rod of some sort that a European sucker I'm sure paid waaaaay too much for already on the roll-back.
