The ball is rolling now. I have boxed my bike up. It will probably take me all of CD5 to get it out of the crate  ;D

Hey DJ, just out of curiosity, how much is it to ship the crate?

I dont have the final figure yet Doc, but I have to do all the documention at your end and I have to pay for the shipping at the same time but so far the bill is $300nz and on top of that is what ever customs and who ever else I have to pay to get the crate. I have sent it as parts of a motorbike and it is dry (no tank) oil, airfilters and the motor is in pieces. Everything has been washed/cleaned hopefully the crate will cruise on threw customs. Failing that I will have to leave it sitting in storage until after CD5. (That will give me the shits).

ah ok  ;) it's just I didn't see a handle to carry it on as excess baggage and thought maybe you had a 'logistics' company looking after it ;D I'm sure it'll breeze through, I know I'd be pretty impressed with the effort 'if' I were a customs official type personage but then I'd let any vintage bikes and bits in under the radar  ::)

TMBill is going to wear a massively big rain coat and strap the crate to his back and say he is just a really big bloke, what can the airport say, your to fat to get on here ;)  ;D Not in this PC gone crazy world  ::)

The crate got picked up today at 4:30pm so it will be interesting to see how long it will take to get to Brisbane.

DJ  I sent a PE 400 To NZud about this time last year in a crate much the same as yours and it took a week .. customs was a breeze and so was the freight company- as long as your paper work is up to scratch

Im off down the hopesomoneshagsme pub tonight to pick up a shelia so i can steal her rain coat for the mission. They build em for comfort not speed down there .
Having carted the odd bike and assorted motorcycle parts across the Tasman i do get the shits when i get charged $16.00 KG excess baggage , I weigh 75 kgs dripping wet in a woolen suit , The Go lightly family at the next check in go at least 140 kgs a piece and get the same baggage allowance  :o theres no bloody justice  ::)

is there any interest in working out a way we can put forum handles to faces at cd5?  any suggestions on how it could be done? 

we could leave it to fate, but suspect we'll still be none the wiser afterwards as to who was who.....

quicky, pack for cold weather, best to be safe than sorry. i know it's starting to cool off a bit around brisbane now, so down south i'd expect to be even cooler.
easier to take a jumper off than beg for one.
and where do all the forum members meet?
in the beer tent on satd'y night of course... or the track, bring your elbows...

how about forum members put their handle on their front plate in texta on masking tape. this will help when the tour of the pits is done.

                                                  or

 post up their bike make/model and the plate #'s it will be wearing, and copy and paste the list to a new post before adding your name/bike to the bottom of that list.
