If you're going for a year see if you can flog it to a mate, at least then you'll have some chance of getting it back.

bringing it over there is not really an option, have a chat with the embassy (01 664 5300) they'll tell you the same as everyone else here is :thumbsup2:

Thats great man he looks so happy taking her off the ramp haha :lbhbh:

So, having paid his buddy a few bob to crate it, and having paid the shipping fees, that pic would have been taken just after the part where, "After much wallet lightening thanks to VIC taxes & fees my crates were released from Customs."

But before the bit that goes, " Now to get the bastard Registered (It will be [B]painful/expensive [/B]– that I’m sure of)"
Christ, he hardly saved money. By the time he got it over there and reg'd, local K6 prices had probably dropped a grand or so:lbhbh:

I've imported stuff to Ireland before and I always try and ignore the "other charges", and pray that I dont get stung with every "worst case scenario charge".
It's only when I add it all up at the end, and be honest with myself, that it starts looking pricier than I thought.
The drawn out process gives you the chance to pay these things at different intervals, as they come up, but all-in, you'd probably be better off taking the loss on your's and buying something over there

Re: Bringing bike to Oz!!
 

Once again you cannot import to Oz if your on a Working holiday Visa.......

You must meet the following

[B][U]Criteria, citizenship and visa requirements[/U][/B]
Applicants must fall into one of the following categories. You must:
• have applied to become an Australian citizen; or
• be an Australian permanent resident (eg, hold a permanent visa); or
• have applied to become an Australian permanent resident (eg, applied for a permanent visa); or
• hold a visa that allows you to apply to become an Australian permanent resident (eg, hold a temporary visa that allows you to apply for a permanent visa)

In addition, applicants must intend to change their residence. Applicants must have been resident in a foreign country (throughout the qualifying period of 12 months’ ownership and use of the vehicle) but now intend to become Australian residents on a permanent basis and remain in Australia indefinitely.

Leave it here or sell it.....

Sound lad, is there such a big difference in the price of a similar bike there that'd warrant the hassle?
Bit of a pisser alright
