It wasn't cheap, bout as much as airfare. Had to ship the bikes by boat out of Galveston, TX to Civitaveccia outside of Rome right as hurricane Gustav was landing. Because all the countries were EU, border crossings were super easy, all we needed to get through customs in Italy was proof of ownership, temporary importation papers, and special travel insurance which covered the entire EU, and your passport with int'l drivers license. Once out of customs, the only thing we dealt with after that was paying a 30 Euro 1-year road use permit to get into Switzerland.
Lots of photo speed traps in Europe which can be thoroughly disregarded because whats the point? Not like they can bill you here
