i'm going on vacation and would love to take my fiddy. If i drain all the fluids can i take it throught the airport as a peice of luggage?

 

dunno bout the whole metal thingy.......

 

you might be able to box it? I go surfing all over and its like $50-to $75 to take my surf boards depending on the airline and location im going......

 

let us all know how that works out b/c i know i'd rather fly myself and my fiddy out to chicago instead of driving.

when you coming to chi?

 

Yea I was thinkin of doin that to my fiddy as well. When I go down to Dallas TX every summer it'd sure be nice to take the fiddy along. Hey you could say it's a prop and that it doesn't actually function, they'd probably let you check the bag and toss it underneath. If ya do, remember to take out the valve stems so you're tires don't explode/implode. Also might be a good idea to take the plastics with you on a carry on bag so they don't get cracked or bent during loading/unloading. Those guys can be pretty rough.

 

thats what i plan on doing
im gonna get a big suitcase and break down what ever i have to to make it fit in the suitcase and then fill it with bubble wrap :YEAH but im not going to send it as a carry on i doubt that will fly
only prob is when you get to chicago you dont have any transportation

up nukka

 

what....lol.....you guys are hallarious. i could be crazy but i would have to guess theres no way your gona get a fiddy on a comercial airline.

 

y not if they pack it underneath they might think its normal luggage

 

yall' make sure all the gas and oil are drained, because if they catch you guys with gas in it they'd probably charge you with a felony or something.....sounds like a cool idea though...i hate to drag on, but remember we live in a post 9-11 world....

 

dont they ship bikes through airlines???and i think they provide crates

 

this is how you ship a fiddy

i think the whole point of bringing it with you on the plane is so that you dont have to pay for shipping
shipping that ups will cost some cheddar and then you gotta ship it back
if your gonna ship it you do better putting it in a big crate with a bunch of other fiddys and shipping it motor-freight

 

well unless you want to fly with some chickens, pigs or cows you could bring the fiddy, but not on a comercial airline.

sweet, When I use to fly to contests on my bmx we use to break them down and pad them real well. Got hasselled one time at ohare because they thought the pegs wrapped up with all my tools was a "bomb"

 

just deflate the tyres and drain the fluids, other than that its pretty much a straight shot

 

i called around here 150 bux was cheapest i could find to ship one to chicago
on yellow frieght dock to dock, door to door was 400 bux
anyone else got a better price let me know

 

I say you just call the airline and talk to them that would be your best option. I do know that each bag can't weigh over a certain amount or you will gat charged more ,but you can have different bags weighing close to the max. I bet if it was takin apart you would be able to.
