Nope. Kinda short notice for me. Would be fun, though!

Not sure what the difference is between International and World....but the VRA from across the pond is quite active---the Vulcan is the European HD,,,
VRA International Event web site for those that may be traveling: http://vulcanriders.net/public/eventselect.php |

Just curious and totally serious as I have no idea...how would one get the bike over to Australia? Container ship? How much would that cost?

On top of that, you will also have the extra charges of shipping to Perth which is in western Australia. It is not a large port so you have limited shipping available. That means you will pay extra for that as well. If I had to take a large guess without looking anything up. I would extimate $2500 to $4000 in total shipping charges. Not including charges to get to the proper port you will need to start from. If you choose wisely you may book on a ship that accepts passengers, which means you can go along with your bike. Add about another $1500 for that. Sooo If I were to estimate from my location I would put aside at least $ 8000 - $11000 for a completed round trip.

I would probably go this route if I were to go. Might not be on a Vulcan though.

Sounds like a good time but Arizona to Australia raises a few problems...like my bike don't float...and there's the issue of finding gas stations along the way.
