The Red Sea dramah.

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 !!!

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'
