    Travel memories - "padkos"

    Ah, the memories. In the 70's our annual pilgrimage from Jhb to Natal South Coast and then later to the Cape. I can still hear that roadside silence in the Karoo heat. It seemed customary to have the dripping canvas waterbag and whenever we stopped dad would raise the bonnet to let the engine on...

    Sending a bike overseas - permanently

    Cracker - I dont think you can expect much less. I have just checked my quote.

    Hi Cracker, I can maybe enlighten you a bit. I live in the UK now and busy sending my 1150GSA from ZA to join me. Why, people will ask. My 1150GSa is in great condition, has about 65k km and I have owned it for about 5 years, so I kinda know what good and what's going to need attention next...

    Australia.... The Island Saga...TwoOhTuTu

    BOZO I think you can stop worrying about the LHC because I found a few mistakes in your manuscript. 1. I think you got your bagels mixed up with croissants. Bagels are an Israeli pasty I think. 2. Switzerland don't make cars, they hate cars 3. Volvo's are from Sweden

    Australia.... The Island Saga...TwoOhTuTu

    Oh this is funny. Ive been on Mud Island for 20 months now and still laugh at things 'that just wouldn't work in ZA' like the self help counters. The Supermarkets have stands with fresh fruit, free for kids to eat whilst trawling around with their parents. Then there is the ironing that I have...

    Costs involved with shipping a motorbike out of ZA - not to return- Anybody ?

    So I am toying with the idea of shipping my 1150GSA over to the UK where I now live. It seems there are relatively few here in the UK and they are expensive when they pop up on Autotrader. I have owned my for quite a few years, love it and know the bike so would love to keep it. Apart from the...

    Like your style of writing and the humor, keep going. Having moved back to the UK again, been here 18 months, I can totally relate to what you are experiencing. You are now earning and spending OZ $ so don't bother doing the converting to Ront thing, it just does your head in. Good luck.

    Getting Nr 1229 back on dirt ** BIKE SOLD**
