Allied Picfords are dealing with everything and shipped to door here in Benaraby. Just hope like hell the bikes are clean enough. We have a heap of other stuff which is coming in the same shipment.
Cheers Timbo.
Life's been good to me so far....

Hi all, bikes have cleared customs.. :yahoo:...but are now  having a debate with Allied Prickfords....(I mean Picfords). They are trying to charge a customs broker fee of $480 to have the three bikes valued??? Only had to pay GST of $240 for the FJ. No duty on all three as they are over 12 years old. I've been talking with customs and have been advised it is not necessary to have them valued if importing under the "Pre 1989 scheme".  Also they now want exta $$$ to get bikes to home address in Benaraby, above the origanal quote from the N.Z. end, not a happy camper!! 
If anyone has any experience of these proceedings please let me know.

Hi Jeff P, On a more positive note, bought a "Motbatt" off Flea bay, $105 to the door.... :good2:

Cheers Timbo.

Hi Timbo.

Hopefully the "motbatt" does the job.Should be better than a standard lead acid battery.I was impressed with the ballistic  batteries specs,410cca,20a/h and 1.1kg weight.The motbatt has 190cca,16.5a/h and 5kg weight,but half the price!.The ballistic battery is probably overkill anyway.  :biggrin:

Cheers!  :drinks:

Hi Flips and Leather skin, yep the Motobat should do the trick,  :good2: thats if I ever get a bike to put it in... :dash1:
Latest is I'm up for three valuations and GST on the FJR, just over $900 all up... :mad:. As for the shipping to Gladstone I think that it may be covered from the N.Z. end as it was not  told to us at the time but they are trying to shove the costs on to us.. :negative:.
Phone # is 0409037440 Leather Skin, keen for a meet up some time, what year is your bike?
Cheers Timbo. :good2:
