Why dont you get the WA guys to squeeze it into their container coming over to Port Augusta. You can drive down, do the CVMX Nats & take it back with you  ::)

?? Why the rolling eyes Steve??

Already spoken to Tossa and their container is full at the moment. A spot might become available but that is still a couple of months away so I'm looking a "plan B" in case that plan doesn't work.

And it's unlikely I'll be making the trip to the Classic Nats this year as Conondale Classic is just the week before .. Now's the time to use rolling eyes  ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)

Rolling eyes, you've bought another bike (or maybe more) so the word "downsizing" has a different meaning the further you head towards the tropics, LOL  ;D

Do you want me to conatct the mob that shipped your 250D down here? I can see if they do that run (Perth to Adelaide & then on to Bris).

Guilty as charged .. but in my (weak) defence, I sold a number as well.  And besides .. always been wanting an old British oil dripper .... but alas .. I still have far too many  :-[ :-[ :-[

Okay getting desperate now as the seller wants it gone asap.  I won't know if it can go in the container with the Classic Title bikes for a month at a guess so is someone from Perth able to pick it up and store it for a while?  I'm happy to pay your fuel to pick it up and retrieve it.

I've tried VIP and Ceva and neither are satisfactory options at this stage.

Any other ideas??

Thanks
Craig

ring a few different furnature removal  companys and you might at least get it to the east coast on a back load /I was going to get a bike from perth and a removal company wanted 300 bucks on a back load  to melb from perth

Mate you have been the best helper with transporting bikes over the years and I have always appreciated your assistance. I think you have done more than your fair share :)

bike logistics are good - and not a bad price.  If you can get it transported to my place in Kinross I can store it for a while.

Tried them all and ended up getting the job done via Ferguson's transport (the mob above) for a fairly good price to be honest.

Thanks for everyone's assistance :)
