The Red Sea dramah.

Post by rossguzzi »

As some of you may know, I bought a nice 3 1/2 Sport, over the intwanet. It`s in the UK and Im down under. No probs, just get it shipped. Well a few weeks after transferring the money, the disagreement occurring in Gaza/Israel is now threatning shipping in the Red Sea.
Dam, not going to comment one way or another, but it`s really getting touchy !
Can only hope there is a way out soon for the innocent.
Merry Christmas.

It is now at Sri Lanka. I guess it will go via Singapore, change ships (its in a container) then to Melbourne (OZ) From there I have to get it across OZ to here in Perth.
So not far now !!!

Exciting times! But talking Red Sea, maybe bring Mozes to the mountain instead of he other way round ;)

Done that a few times in the past. 2nd cousin runs trucks across the big paddock so will look at crating it and getting him to transport it.

Had it for a little while now. Nice bike. It needed a few things sorted out and still needs rear shocks that work and the front rim a has a flat spot. Hops a bit at 80kph. Otherwise it runs sweet.

Good to hear it eventually arrived and was pretty good for 'sight unseen'
