married to a pommie biker, you will have to pay import tax to bring one over, then it has to go over the pits and be inspected, have a look at www.redbook.com.au for bike prices
cheers

Have a look at www.bikepoint.com.au You should be able to see what bike prices are like.

I live in Canberra and have many good roads to ride on, you just have to be aware of dead wild life on the road and stupid P platers.

Have fun mate.

You may want to look at doing some track days at some of the race tracks in Australia. Phillip Island have them, It;s a nice change when everyone is going on the same direction and you don't have to worry about the cops....

So needless to say the family won't let me near 2 wheels anymore! ...

Still, I'd LOVE to be back on 2 wheels, and yes, the roads are VERY warm in my part of town, and I CRAVE 2 wheels, but .... ah .....

Such is life! ...

End of the day, if YOU can control / be sensible (I obv couldn't) with 2 then I reckon you'll love it here!

The roads ARE as sticky as fudge! ...

Good luck to ya!

CasG

Ventilated and all-sorts ...you're lucky to be here aren't you?

Paul&Nic

VERY lucky to be here! ... lost 12 pints of blood in the 15 min journey to the hospital (told my body would only hold 11 ... )

I spent 11 days in Intensive Care and arrived at the local hospital with a 25% chance of surviving!

I dunno what I'm tryin to say here ... ... but just TRYIN to say that 2 wheels ARE fun (prob the MOST fun I've EVER had) but .....

Ahhh, Oh I wish I had my old bike back! ...

Sorry, ignore me .... as I say the roads over here ARE as sticky as fudge, and I just want 2 wheels again!!!!

(I hate these 'bike' threads!! ... )

Dont quite know what to say to that
