Transporting Your Motorcycle(s) - Universal Thread.

[surbhit]

@kirosh_03: You should send your bike through train and try avoiding packers and movers(any company). Those guys will always tell there would be no harm to your bike but I have seen a lot of cases where bikes were badly damaged.
In Zma the most delicate thing is the fairing of the bike . You can remove the fairing and take it along with you in the same train through which you will take your bike to Delhi. I did the same thing when I took my Zma from Delhi to Kankanadi(Mangalore).
Regarding the road tax issue I am also stuck with similar problem as I have brought my bike to Chennai and my bike has UP registration.

I second Surbhit's thoughts.
Moreover, both of us have recently brought our bikes from Delhi to Chennai in train.
Just get it packed nicely and leave the rest to Lalu's employees

@all: Apologies for my late reply; I'm hardly getting time to check xBhp. I need to blame my new project.

As I stated earlier, the bike is in transit; thru Agarwal Packer and Movers. They have assured me that the bike will be transported safely. The bike will be reaching Delhi on Saturday.

As for the NOC, I haven't taken any. I have the set of other original papers. I have no intention (for the time being) of selling the bike or staying in delhi for long. Will take the next course of action once I land in any kind of trouble.

Guess I need to alert one of the Chennai folks to send me a petrol reciept.

To Delhi on bike! All the best, Sudeep! Just ping me when you are here. We'll ride with the Delhi boys.

Thanks, Surbhit and Muks! From generating higher revenues to providing better food, the Indian Railways have earned a commendable name in recent years. As for my case, I had no one at home to take my bike to the RS. Hence the decision for packers and movers.

U wont need it. Just have all d paper with u and dont try some stupid stunts on the roads.

Ride safe and no issues.
Delhi is our Capital and India is a Democratic country. Lol

Guys, My bike is here in the NCR!

There were no damages during transit. However, their stickers have left some marks on the bike (too strong stickers). I'll be getting rid of the sticker marks today. I personally went to their warehouse on the UP-Delhi border (Seemapuri) to collect the bike. Although it was quite costly (6k), it was worth!

[BANDHAV]

Congrats, buddy its good to learn that you have finally got your bike here.

Man, seempuri is like a stone's throw distance form my place.

Looking forward to meet you in coming G2Gs.

6k sounds steep but ZMA also needs better transportation !.

I'll be riding from tumkur to delhi sooooon very sooooon

Remains of the Day: Transporting a motorcycle in India

[lakhanironak]

What are the Octroi Charges or Taxes ? Why does one have to pay them when u transport ur motorcycle on a train from one place to another ? I have heard of these charges only in the metro cities.

Ive also heard that the tax is refundable and also that its charged because your importing a vehicle to the metro city such as mumbai.

Why dont they charge you when you ride your bike to mumbai ?

Why are these taxes present ? Please clear my queries... Been puzzled about this for quite a while. Tried my best by googling these but was left with no clear answer.
