    Hey guys...

    I want to get a bike shipped from victoria, in fact my old mans motorbike,
    here to brisbane. Whats the best way to do it? Who should do it and how much
    should i expect it to cost? The bike doesn't run currently so i can't ride
    it up here.. not to mention rego.

    thanks in advance...

    Paul

    $100-odd to fly down and $100 in petrol to ride it back.
    Bargain!

    Does he know you're doing this? Makes note to watch the kids next time
    they visit.

    The older son is getting married next month, going to Fiji for the
    honeymoon, and has just bought himself a new C180K Mercedes Coupe. Why
    couldn't I do that at his age? I was probably working for his
    education.

    Hmmm. He could leave the car at my place while he's away.

    You're supposed to read to the bottom Clem. The bike doesn't run and
    has no rego.

    I work with a bloke who bought one of these not long ago... they almost make
    as much power as your average litre japanese sportsbike and with only 7 times
    more weight to drag around and 5 times the cost... but I suppose they do keep
    you dry in winter.

    Another person who thinks performance is about power?

    Please look up "couth" in your dictionary. You probably don't have
    any.

    Theo

    That would be one very cheap litre Japanese sportbike.

    No, I know it's all about prestige. But it's not much more than a Corolla
    with a $45K emblem on the bonnet.

    Quantity over quality eh. I suppose this ties in well to Theo's point about
    how you measure performance. :p

    You misspelt "Corolla with a Repsol paint job."
