A question:

While shopping at La Comer the other day, I really liked that Vespa-lookalike Italika motor scooter. I also liked the price: around US$1300.00. A few years ago, I looked into buying a Vespa in Anchorage. US$6000.00 and a 6 month wait. When asked about arranging shipping to the States, the lady suggested checking with the factory. They, too, weren't interested. "We'll sell you one and you can ride it home" was the response. I'm curious if anyone from Canada or the States has bought a bike down here and how they got it home. TIA.
