[Naked Twin]

I have a big garage too, I am able to store, wash and ride it round the "block" to keep the battery charged.

[Dark]

Im really interested in seeing how this goes and the details for getting a bike down here

Looking forward to see how you go wet4U and good luck

[Dark]

Double post

[zRoYz]

Just hope the freight companies in Canada are better than the Canada postal service or your bike may end up in China.

[SLAC]

Fark its in gud nick PGM... $6250 is a gud price. Obviously your going to race it? Rego maybe hard right?

[WET4URacing]

ended up $5600aud and some pennies.
will be my roady. gunna see about rego etc today. i have a RR frame spare if i cant rego that 1. just means a complete swapsy.
will keep you(those that want to know) all informed as & when i know

[Busta]

very interested to see how this goes.. hopefully it's not too difficult

[WET4URacing]

ok here it starts

if the vehicle is pre jan 1989 built it can be imported and rego'd
post that date of build and it cant be.
as i race and have a race licence and currently race this specific model its a load easier to bring in for race /close circuit use only( so i will have to use my spare vin and plate).
i have to apply to canberra for import papers . i have to supply invoice of ownership and fill out a load of paperwork. A good buddy who does this all the time and is only to happy to guide me thru(previous owner of metros) the maze.
let you know more later

[Dark]

cool i was thinking about doing this purely for my next track bike upgrade

look forward to seeing the procedure

[Mr.Ed]

Just hope the freight companies in Canada are better than the Canada postal service or your bike may end up in China.

+1 on this. 53 days from the postage date till I got my Bazzaz (Vancouver).

Must have been hand delivered.;)

[Mr.Ed]

Must have been hand delivered.;)
My money is on the mailman moonwalking his way through his deliveries. :p

[WET4URacing]

just checked my visa statement and canberra removed the fee $50 on the 14th. so something must be happening down there.
will update when import permit arrives.
the bike is still sitting in ol mates garage over there in canada.
bet this would be different if he wasnt green. can just imagine a ducati or yamaha seller , "when the fuk are you gettin this chunk of shite outa my shed"

[WET4URacing]

got it and it was issued on my b'day

happy b'day to me

cheers my wet weather friend

[WET4URacing]

So the bike has been dropped off last fri at the shippers to be crated .Had to wait till the owner came home so he could take it to the mainland.
Was about $850 to have it picked up and dropped off at shipper so i decided to wait for him .
The shipping and crating cost were just under $2k US. So now just doing paperwork.

[WET4URacing]

Finally its gettin packed

I've landed two by air and one by sea, but not for a few years.

[Naked Twin]

Could it be that customs did not understand your eloquence when picking up the bike?

plus another $100 to get rid of the crate . was spost to be out of the crate so i could wheel it into the van but was not.
the drama was we were told it was removed from the crate(big wooden box) and washed, but infact it the side was removed from the box and they hosed it down while still strapped in the crate where it travelled.
so i turned up and there is no farkin way if in fact i did get the box in the van i would never have got the fuker out at home . so they had a cry and finally 1/2 dissaembled the box and i wheeled it out and into the van. 3 farkin hrs it took . definatetly not the brokers fault , very poor communication from the wankers where the box was. there shit dont stink that lot. as i explained if i made that sort of mistake it would be like the wheel falling out of the bike i had just worked on as it left pit lane.

so $1900 to box and ship and $1900 to get it in the van this end.
the invoice price of the bike for customs was $2500 aud
total just less than $9600 and i cannot rego it the way it sits as its post 12/89 so i will have to fudge the system

[Busta]

nice choice in font size.. ithe hubble space telescope would've come in handy just then

motherf**k... 3800 to get it delivered and out of customs.. and that's by sea! i hate the whole import process here, when i brought in some jap cars years ago they took ages to complete the quarantine/inspection thing and i had to pay storage fees ontop of it all for their lazyness.. I wonder how all those Learner bike places import tons of those cbr250's all the time? there has to be an easier way...

[WET4URacing]

fuk i need a magnifying glass . fuk nose what happened there . sorry
yep its not cheap. but you cant buy a RR in OZ anywhere.

[Busta]

hey.. meant to ask you.. did you ever own a VH commonwhore?

[WET4URacing]

hey.. meant to ask you.. did you ever own a VH commonwhore?

[Busta]

It might have cost more than expected but it does look like it just rolled off a showroom floor! (Another) very nice bike indeed! ;)

[WET4URacing]

no it cost about what i thort. between 9 and 10k . i sold the ZXR750R for 11k to buy this

[zRoYz]

That is one well kept bike, is it all factory except the Muzzy?

[Marshy]

Very, very nice! Beautiful, showroom condition.

[SLAC]

Very nice.... Fark that frame is shinny, did they supply sunnies with the purchase. LOL

[WET4URacing]

That is one well kept bike, is it all factory except the Muzzy?

no my other 1 is , this has a bit of bling. was a suprize when i noticed the muzzy is full Ti .

[blackzook]

Beautiful bike, the previous owner must have spent heaps of time polishing the frame and forks.

[warwick]

Find out what customs washed the bike with :ayyy: They did a great job worth the $1900 :lmao:
That is one beautifull bike , Just park it in the lounge room and polish it and enjoy the bike as an investment:ayyy:

[laidback]

VERY worthy addition to any toy shed mate.

What do you do with a bike like that...certainly not use it as a every day hack.
