That did it! THANKS!!

Hi Folks: New player. I have to characters on my subscribed account. I recently got the TF-4 Rampage Speeder. On my 26th level Jedi character I went to the Republic Fleet to go learn the speeder skill and then pick up the speeder. I learned the skill with no problem, and then, from my inventory (where I had put the speeder when I got it via email) I put the speeder on my quick bar in the "=" slot. It won't activate. When I investigate something says something like "You have added this items to your collections from another character. You can pay C coins in order to get it usable by all your characters." That made little since sense I'd only been on the Jedi character since I got this speeder. But I went to my 6th Level Sith character to check it out. It says the same thing. So, I'm confused. How do I activate this speeder?
