    Know how ya feel Annie, if ya get the chance, kick like shit and remind them that you are actually one of those Taxpayers and Residents that pay their bloody wages.

    It's not like you're a foreign importer trying to get something new , wild, and exotic into the country,,, you'r an Aussie just bringen home what was bought with Aussie dollars in this country to start with. 

    It appears that an Aussie that wants to do any business regarding themselves or their own property crossing our own  borders has got to jump through multiple flaming hoops and provide certified copies of everything in triplicate.

     

    Ha!, makes me think that we'de be better off if we were illegal and alien,, then the govt would do it's best to bypass the system and rush us through,,, as well as pay for all the costs.

    All the best Annie, hope it all comes together without too much undue drama.

     Oh me oh my just what I didn't want to hear Annie.

    Leaving for the Big Apple Friday to start the epic journey of a MaxFlight ride simulator on its way to Perth.

    Thanks to Choppawezza lots of bumps taken out of the import road.

    Thanks to our wonderful financial wizards price has bounced all over the place with the Aussie dollar F****K.

    Should be worth the wait they reckon it will take 60 days to get to Perth from Denver Colorado. 

    Cost of freight for a full 20 foot container will be around the $6500 if this helps anyone. This price includes specialised packing for the machine and insurance for replacement value.

    I intend to hit the road with this machine and obviously make sure there is room for my ride to come with me.

    There are definately goog buys inthe states in lots of things other than Bikes.

    Well F**k me!!

    Got an email late today to say customs cleared the shipment -- only trouble is it's too bloody late to get it on the last truck with Bikes Only to get it home

    It will be picked up by them and stored at their depot. Looks like the 10th January now [f**k]
