Here's a thought ,if you freight that bike over this way send it to where I am , fly in to Oz up here and we'll ride to where you're going to live, "IF" that can work if not all good.
Just a though we ride on the other side of the road to the US.I will lead out until it makes sense.
Cheers man.
Hahaha, cheers mate, I might have to take ya up on that offer sometime. Although I have driven and ridden down under many times on my visits to there and other places that don’t drive on the Right Side of the road! Hahaha

I have been on UH-60A’s L’s and M’s, UH-1H’s, and now MI-17v1’s and v5’s. It’s just about time to hang this hat up, it’ll be 24 years in about 22 months, that’s it for me.

Okay, that's a kind offer! Unrelated, but that reminds me of a joke that the Kiwis told me about the Aussies.

A stockbroker one day decides "the hell with it", sells what he's got, and moves to the middle of the Australian outback. He's living in the middle of nowhere for about six months, when he gets a knock on his door. What?! I mean, he hasn't seen a single soul for six months, so who's knocking? He opens the door, and there's just a gigantic mountain of a man, disheveled, missing teeth, giant beard, kind of Hagrid in a way.

"Howdy, mate! I'm your neighbor!"

The stockbroker didn't even know he had neighbors, so this guy's come from a long way certainly. He greets him, and they start to talking. "Hagrid" says "Look, I'm throwin' a party next week, and I'd love it if you'd come."

Now, the stockbroker moved here to get away from people and the rat race, so he starts to decline, but then again, it has been six months...

"Hagrid" goes on: "There's gonna be lots of drinkin'..."

This piques the stockbroker's interest. He's done with martinis and White Russians, but some good ol' Aussie beer might be fun to try.

"... and after the drinkin', we usually get to dancin'..."

Hmmm, thinks the stockbroker. I haven't really loosened up in a while. This might be fun...

"... and after the dancin', there's usually some fightin'..."

Now, that might be something fun to see, thinks the stockbroker. A genuine Aussie barfight kind of thing...

"... and then after the fightin', things might get a little crazy, and there's usually some sex afterwards."

Well, that does it. I mean, it's been six months! The stockbroker says "I'm in! What should I wear?"

Hagrid says "Wear whatever you'd like. It'll just be the two of us."

UH12 C
It is almost affordable as ADs have always been far and few.

Uncle Sam foots the bill, so they get to decide what I get to play with, for now.

i would have a Huey, but the fuel alone would only allow for about an hour a month.

If we pool our money with a couple others, we might be able to afford 3-4 hours a month!
