say i was to travel to europe and my inner tubes somehow got filled with guns and drugs.

what is the likelihood of getting caught at the bridge terminals at dover or calais?

bike in question would be a small cc 2 stroke thing.

Don't they have x-ray machines? Dogs?

I really wouldn't like to find out.

What kind of gun are you going to squeeze through the valve? Even if you take the center out it's too small.

They know all the tricks, they have sniffer dogs and X ray machines. People must get through sometimes but these people have spent much more time, money, effort and intelligence trying to fool customs.

Its not worth the risk for the penalty either.

This is the best way to do it.
Get some mug to take the stuff over for you ... promise him 40% of the 'earnings' ... then if he gets through fine... but if he gets caught, all you lose a small cost of the initial purchase. (and he loses his freedom).

Let us know how it goes.

If Richard Tomlinson's book is to believed, he hid a passport and money etc in the petrol tank of his bike, when he was on the run from the security services.

Tubeless Tyres you could hide stuff in. Tubes, you'd have to cut and rejoin which sounds like a ballache to get leak free.

Customs must see this stuff thousands of times a year and know all the little places to check. Granted, I don't think they x-ray all vehicles or use dogs on every one but still, I wouldn't risk it.

Same way if you went to the airport with half a kilo of cocaine in your pocket, you might walk past all the security and customs scott free but if they do have the dogs out or ask you to step through an x-ray machine, you're fucked.

I saw something a while back, these drug runners had this genius method of hollowing out logs, stuffing them with drugs & a gps tracker and putting the ends back on and floating the logs down a river, from one border across to the next country.

At ferry ports most people just go straight past customs without being stopped, the same as at airports most people walk straight past customs without being stopped. The chances of you being randomly stopped and your bike x-rayed is pretty low, decide if that's a risk you're willing to take.

If you're going to do something like this then don't go posting about it on BCF or anywhere else, it's exactly the same as not shouting about it in a pub, you have no idea who is reading/listening to what you say. Rolling Eyes

Like the French customs that searched a small van and found a very large bong and herbal ecstasy as well as one of the occupants wearing a THC hoody (Doh! that’s what you get for sampling the merchandise, silly not to have taken it off before Embarassed), but didn’t look any further so didn’t find the couple of ounces of strongly smelling weed and hash in the dashboard – no search when getting to the UK.

Never mind someone walking back through UK customs from Holland with a similar amount of weed in a lego box that wasn't wrapped nearly as well as it could have been.

Whether it's something I would want to risk in this day and age is another matter - not sure I've got a massive interesting in other one would smuggle, for that matter.

Replace your tyres, seat hoses and rubbers with sticky black, have a compressed ball of hash instead of a fuel tank and expansion chamber and have the frame and handlebars made out of assault rifles, samurai swords and single action revolvers.

Should be fine then Thumbs Up .

the using gun parts as bike parts is actually an excellent idea. I was thinking (hypothetically) pistols, but a rifle could be managed that way

Hi

While most people probably aren't searched a few will be randomly. Suspect most of it is targeted at those they think are likely targets. Such as those who look slightly out of place, looking nervous or overly defensive.

There are loads of places in a car or bike where you could hide things if you wanted to go to that much hassle. But if they really think you are worth taking a bit of time over I doubt it would make a great deal of difference if you just left it under the seat, or put it in the sump of the engine.

But you only need to be unlucky once to be really screwed.

All the best

Keith

insides of the handle bars would be a good place if whatever said 'substance' is is small enough. Wonder if you could take your mirrors apart too and place it behind the glass.

Hasn't anyone seen easy rider? The pills and cash have to be stored in a plastic tube attached to the bottom of the fuel filler cap...

*really* screwed, at that.

It won't like being caught with a couple of spliffs by a copper who's just done you for wheelying through a speed trap- it'll be an importation offence, with multi-year tarrifs. (Life, if the quantity is right!)
