And they did mark the package as having a commercial value of $150 on the customs declaration (didn't ask, they just did it). Still, I saved heaps even with all the freight, exchange rate, conversion costs, etc. etc.

I couldn't recall if the GST was applied to the value of the goods only or if it included the shipping before they decided whether to screw us or not.

This all sounds like it was cooked up in the bedroom after a hard night.

Sorry, it's all just a little too top gun for me.

Guys, I don't care for any sexual bias tags you may wish to assign this rebuild/thread and I'd rather they stayed out of this.

Honestly, i don't know Toaster or Bumz from adam, but i am aware that Toaster took a lot of pride in his bike and he did have a great looking bike. He had an off and both he and the bike were damaged. I'm sympathetic towards that as I am to any biker who has an off. I enjoy watching bike 'do up' threads and see it as a sign of Toaster's recovery and desire to move on. Because of that i am supportive of what he is doing, encouraged by his excitement, and hope he recovers well and that in starting this project he keeps us informed. Lets not rain on his recovery.

That looks fantastic! I love the writing on the tires idea!

some pics of the bike under way.

Some bits have gone to prep/paint - front guard, new headlight necklace, tank. Wheels and hub will be done later.

bmz has fitted the new indicator lenses.

New helmet has arrived..... looks cool although USA dark visors are not dark at all.

My two new M109R shirts arrived.

Insurance money for gear comes in this week, so its shopping time.

The major parts order from DLP and new tyres from Cruiser Customizing are taking forever to come from the US.

Body is healing well. Back to work next Monday.

Oh the shirts have arrived. well the job is almost complete then.. j/k

Glad to hear that the body is healing and your soon back to work. Take care and look after yourself and more importantly, your bike. Hey at least a shot of the skid lid.....

Hehe... well hey can't ride naked now could I!!

Heard this morning that the major parts shipments will leave the US this week. Just have to wait on the new tyres on order.

Pic of helmet attached..... not everyone's cup of tea but I liked the idea of something a bit different for my fourth helmet... all the others were black.

Yep, body coming right. Will try to drive tomorrow for medical appointments Thurs and Fri. Hope to go buy my riding gear in town on Thurs.

I have imported a box full of the oil based white pens. Haven't decided what price to sell them at yet though

The lettering I had done on the existing tyres lasted a day of rain and road muck and the crash and are apparently still very clear so good to see its durable.

Hey Toaster, I'd be keen on one of those pens, when you decide on a price let me know. cheers
