moving to vellore...

hello fellow bhpians,
i'm a new member but not new to this forum.. neways, i purchased a R15 a week ago and got admission for a 2 year course in vellore, TN. i am presently in trivandrum, kerala.. i would like to avoid reregistering the bike as i would be back to kerala again after the course. is it cumpolsary to reregister? i heard somewhere in this forum tht u can stay 15-45 days w/out problems if you have the toll gate receipt, so would it help if i kept goin to bangalore once in a while( it's jus 4 hrs 4m vellore). plus, is the NOC required even if i dont plan to reregister? plz shed some light on various tax requirements as well..
i'm sorry i kinda bombarded you guys wit questions bt i'll b leaving in a week, so it is kinda urgent.. finally one more thing, railways or GAIT- safer?
thanks a lot...

@drumster: Gati will charge you around 2300 INR for a door to door service. Packaging will eb axtra. Railways will cost you around 1600 INR though you will have to take it to the station which means half a day lost. Packaging will be extra.

[rajatagarwal]

Railway lot safer if you put some energy in packing the bike yourself along with the helper

I thought that we should stick this for easy reference. Quite a few people transport their bikes.

Shipping the Bike

I need help. I am moving from Hyderabad to Delhi on July 14th and I need help shipping my bikes from AP to Delhi. Can anyone advise me on the methods I can use? Preferably someone from Hyderabad who can provide contact info/addresses, but anyone who knows and talks sense would be appreciated.

I think Gati ships bikes, is that correct?

hey dude have u got ur noc and transportation insurance as the traffic cops can give you a bad time

[Purja]

ok blokes, i have already transported myself to Pune and got my bike with me as well I have done this through a company called lakshya cargo. they do it through railway where they have a leased boggie. the boggie is sealed at Delhi station and opened only at Pune jn. the cost was 2900/- INR and an extra 200 bucks to the police guy at the station to let the bike go without hassles. it was transported with fuel in the tank and hence this policeman affair. but i' m not complaining. the bike was delivered in perfect condition. the packing was also good. they unpacked and wiped the bike before giving it to me. pass.
