Three Harley-Davidsons: İzmir → Porto, ready to ride

Door-to-door motorcycle transport with temporary-admission customs for a touring holiday

Three riders from İzmir wanted their personal Harley-Davidson motorcycles waiting for them in Porto, Portugal — in time for a festival and in running condition. Personal vehicles mean temporary-admission customs; motorcycles mean oil and fuel on board, with the documentation and certified-transport requirements that follow. Pinea planned and executed the move door to door, and the bikes rolled off the truck ready to ride.

The brief

Three personal Harley-Davidson motorcycles, collected in İzmir and delivered to Porto, Portugal, in time for a festival tour.

The challenge

Personal motorcycles require temporary-admission customs treatment for touring — not a standard export. And because the machines carry oil and fuel, the move demanded specific documentation, certified drivers and strict compliance with transport rules, plus delicate handling so the bikes would arrive in running condition.

The solution

A dedicated vehicle with professional loading, securing and unloading included; temporary customs formalities prepared in advance on both sides; and carriage arranged fully in line with the applicable transport regulations.

The result

All three motorcycles were delivered on time and in running condition. The owners picked them up, rode to the festival and completed the tour they had planned.
