Welcome to Orstreilya, mate.
I see you've anglicised our postcode already: "WA6028"  Well done with that.
We hope you can get the ST out here.  We're running out of them and yours might be the last to arrive on our shores.

For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

Welcome from Kinross WA 6028.

There will be two of us now.

I think I remember you, staying in the Burns Beach caravan park. It was a saturday afternoon, I had just arrived at the cafe for coffee with the Joondalup Ulysses group.

Just getting in some early language lessons for the Pom.
He'll need intense sessions on arrival, possibly before Customs.

Hi Ed,

I didn't think it would be to long before you came on here.

As for the 12 month personal import for your bike. You might just make it in by September.

Welcome Ed from Philbo at Meringandan in Queensland.  Also ex pat.  Arrived in 1963.  I had a Harley Davidson with sidecar at the time, and had no trouble with customs.  Mind you, it was made by Matchbox
