    Lol. Yep. Great for old fat lazy fuckers like myself. Much easier on the bod. I'd like an American model with the big conventional forks. A very nice one came up for sale just the other week. If you're at all interested, I'll give you a blast on the SR when I finally get it sorted. Should be nice to ride for its age. Feels like a KX125 to sit on. It's tiny.

    Speaking to the chappy in Brisbane that has a fair few works bikes, one of them being the same year as mine, he says it's really really smooth with a very nice power delivery. Can't wait to ride it. Feels nothing like a KX500 to sit on that's for sure.

    Barty you still taking orders for parts in the US and bringing them back to NZ ?
    I'm after a Dynoport exhaust for my 1984 KTM 250MXC engine type 543 They're in up state New York and list the pipe at $259.95 us , I know the freight will likely be half of that if I had it shipped to NZ so here's were you come in ? I'll pay you for ur time and trouble , thx Kevin.

    Sure we can sort out something NY is the next state over but a 5 he drive each way best idea if you want one buy and have them send it to me postage won't be much. Other option would be sort out what it is you want via email with them put $$ in my nz account and I can buy and have it shipped here sure they would happily dose visa etc either way not to hard.

    Thx Barty waiting to hear back from Rich the maker of the Dynoport pipe with a freight cost to NZ , but I suspect I'll be using your services and the National Government wants to add GST on overseas purchases so you may be getting busy , Kevin.

    Barty just heard back from Dynoport freight 125-150 US ouch , that makes it around 400 US $ in total . So all up say 550NZ . How much would it be for you to get and post back ? just weighing up my options at the moment.

    i would guess, since Barty is bringing in a container, he will be paying GST on at least some of the stuff in there, (cant see if being under $400) you maybe able to hide some stuff, but is it worth the risk?

    It wouldn't be coming back in original packaging and a bit of crime that'lol clean off etc won't hurt it to look not new. Besides been out a country for 2 years so would just be part of our personal stuff as with every thing else coming home.

    Barty when will you be returning to GodsZone as the pipe is not urgent , wud like it before X-mas as the VMX season kicks off around then.
    A scotch brite pad can add wear marks with a few simple rubs on many things it's like "presto 2nd hand/used" .
