How it works

Aussie riders dream of shipping their motorbikes overseas for adventures across the world's great mountain ranges - but the logistics involved keep it a dream. Typical story ends up with big money spent on a two week tour to scratch the surface. The few that do take the plunge with their own bikes spend more time on bike logistics instead of the fun stuff learning about where they'll be travelling + route planning. BUT WHAT IF Aussie riders come to understand seasonal restraints and that they should all be shifting their bikes roughly the same time? WHAT IF the Aussie rider effort could be co-ordinated to create FCL opportunity? WHAT IF the hassle was deleted with the whole bloody entry + exit sagas streamlined? Would YOU Ride The Ethereal?

Own Bike Odyssey consolidate motorbikes at depots in Brisbane + Melbourne and ship full container load (FCL) to strategic destinations at optimal times dictated by season. These destinations not only provide gateways to the world’s epics for Aussie riders, they also provide convenient motorbike consolidation points for shipping to Australia. Excellent secure storage options are offered to cater for variable ride windows allowing us to consolidate a five week plan and a five month plan in the same container. Ultimately, our service is specially tailored for riders considering independent overland adventure of duration four weeks to full season to inter-continental. This isn't some bow-ribboned tour. This is YOUR Own Bike Odyssey.
