Its a pity the US dollar is now about 63 cents when it was over 90 cents late last year....

Agree,just got some Sidi Crossfire Boots for boy child and they cost $457.42 Aus or $300 US.
They cost $700 locally....We buy local 7/8th time.
Of course a bike is a bit different.

yeah its a pain the exchange rate, but to get a lot of good stuff that you can't find anywhere else then I still use ebay. But I think the real bargain bikes are the nicely built ones in OZ and NZ.

[VMX247]

I think buyers have gone quiet this passed week or two, the above TM sold for 2000us or 2988aus.
2002-2008 modern bikes are also moving slow, if at all.
suppose some kids have got there new 09.. 
Some bikes and parts haven't even had a bid

A friend of mine had a TM 250 74 MODEL for sale on ebay, and know one bidded on the bike, and he wanted $3500 for it race ready. l beleave he has still got the bike, So you could have that bike it your shed right now, check your back yard first before stretching the dollar for oversea bikes.
cheers

My vmxer mate down the shed would have to shot me first if he sold his TM 250.(probably would   )
It would have to be one a most eye appealing bikes out there. 
Just got all the bolts and bits ZINKED,,,,gonna look bling now    with the black frame. 
I'll have to post some pics up hey ?

david what happened to the ossa phantom

[albrid-3]

hi paul
l swapped it, the ossa phantom went to the west, l hope it will be raced.

[paul]

ok, nice bike that what did you get for it    ,the husky

[albrid-3]

l got a yz 250 a, the bike was like new, but wasn`t that happy with it, the engine was sandbasted, the rims sandbasted, hubs were sandbasted, the stripes on the tank where yellow not red.
so l moved it on, but the bike has been put back to its orginal form. Paul

[albrid-3]

Money l got for the YZ, went into buying the Husqvarna which has arrived from USA, just waiting on custom to release the bike, l will be racing it in pre 65 class, thanks paul

[paul]

that sounds good  i hope you are happy with this one

[albrid-3]

l hope so, hard to buy bikes when you don`t see them in the flesh, to fare away, that is the risk you take, its good to be honest.
