And am planning on shipping it home.

Does anybody know of any reliable and reasonably priced shipping companies?

I also plan to send my mountain bike and some other stuff to.

Will I need to fill out a ton of pointless forms tro get it out of the country?

Cheers

Where's 'home'?

It's unlikely that shipping stuff will be economically viable. Usually shipping costs, insurance and import duties amount to more than the purchase price of a replacement at 'home'. Also, most western countries have very specific laws regarding imported motor vehicles, and if it doesn't meet the emission control and safety standards you may be stuck with an unregisterable bike.

Is it an actual Vespa or a generic Chinese motor scooter?

Home is the UK, and its a real Vespa.

I've checked with the UK authorities, and povided it passes its MOT there should be no problems.
