Just remember these importers are in it to make a dollar, you don't get the same quality of bike as a local one that's been built to race..

Post by: 80-85 husky on June 13, 2013, 04:42:25 pm: I bought my husky off him and he was good to deal with, haggled the price ok and he let a mate have a good look at it, pull bits off etc

so no issues.

Post by: mudguard on June 13, 2013, 05:55:14 pm: Have not purchased a bike from him but I got him to import my YZ125 from Denver Colorado, and a seperate shipment, large boxes of parts.
I have been to his business in Tweed Heads, and yes he has some ordinary bikes, but has more of the above average ones.
If you are looking for a specific type of bike (from the West Coast of USA) he will make the effort to find something decent for you.
I've found Rob to be a decent bloke to do business with has always returned my calls when I've left a message.
