Traveling with Bicycle and not getting hit for duty

Here's why: To the states with a meticulously maintained Ibis Mojo SL-R carbon bike. Sold it for $1500. Returned with a barely used Ibis Mojo 3 with carbon everything that retailed for about $7500 last year. Assembled it last night, rode it this morning. Funnest bike I've ever been on. Now...if you can even ORDER that same bike at any shop in Thailand I'd be amazed and the price would be stunning to say the least.

 

Excellent. Yes, there's the priggish side of me that says the Thais have a right to impose whatever taxes they please. But then there's the bit of me that hid bottles of plum brandy about my person going through UK customs.
