Hey guys...

I want to get a bike shipped from victoria, in fact my old mans motorbike,
here to brisbane. Whats the best way to do it? Who should do it and how much
should i expect it to cost? The bike doesn't run currently so i can't ride
it up here.. not to mention rego.

thanks in advance...

Paul

$100-odd to fly down and $100 in petrol to ride it back.
Bargain!

(Do a google... plenty of good info on previous threads)

Does he know you're doing this? Makes note to watch the kids next time
they visit.

Theo
The older son is getting married next month, going to Fiji for the
honeymoon, and has just bought himself a new C180K Mercedes Coupe. Why
couldn't I do that at his age? I was probably working for his
education.

Hmmm. He could leave the car at my place while he's away.

You're supposed to read to the bottom Clem. The bike doesn't run and
has no rego.

I work with a bloke who bought one of these not long ago... they almost make
as much power as your average litre japanese sportsbike and with only 7 times
more weight to drag around and 5 times the cost... but I suppose they do keep
you dry in winter.

Another person who thinks performance is about power?

Please look up "couth" in your dictionary. You probably don't have
any.

Theo

That would be one very cheap litre Japanese sportbike.
