Well, there's a resounding lack of eager buyers beating a path to my garage lOl Time for Plan B methinks, which is actually better than Plan A - I'll try and import it over here :idea: :P

FFS Bonz ...just keep it, if ya can't import it to Australia then put it in storage somewhere
Forget trying to sell it and upsetting folk by tempting them to buy the "Holy grail"
JUST KEEP THE FUCKER...and be grateful you've got one

You are talking about the "holy grail" here....not one of those "common as dog shit" XB's"

Decent XB's are not that common these days, believe me - especially when you're looking for one! I sold my first one to a German gentleman but never realised how scarce they've become in the meantime. I've only seen 2 on the road near me all this year not counting the southern softies!

Buells of any sort generally are a rare sight now and I know well the feeling of regret that set in pretty quickly when I let my first firebolt go.

Whatever you decide Bonzo I hope it goes well

That was my cunning plan until Australia cropped up. You don't fancy a working holiday in Oz do you :?: :P

I've put in my application for import, now waiting on approval.

:idea: Get Maz to sort it, crate it and deliver it to the docks. Thus ensuring you take delivery of a bike you can be proud of on arrival! :idea:
PS Rumour has it that Maz has the perfect sized crate just waiting to be used. Why, it even has 'S1' stencilled on the side... ;)

Hi Bonzo, your plans to ship make sense, if I were you I wouldn't want to part company it looks a beaut. But should your plans fall though let me know. The Southern Softies have almost convinced me I need a tuber to add to the stable

I hadn't contacted you before now because timing not great for me and didnt want to waste your time . I am currently working in Angola and not entirely sure what next year will bring for me workwise

Good luck with the shipping , maybe I'll be in the market next year if anyone else is thinking of selling
