Just a random fact - The dollar is up to $1.105 on the US. I wonder how this will effect my CAD :msp_unsure:... lol

Bring one bike to the GTG and people will try and show off.

Bring two bikes and we will have a race meeting:msp_sneaky:

Your CAD may have to take a hit as the bastards also dropped the import limit from AUD$1000 to AUD$500 over the last few weeks :mad2:
Gonna struggle to write a new 660 down that far without ringing some alarm bells. However pulled apart and sent in two packages well...

Geez, when did Customs drop that little bomb ?

Take it easy on that quad bloke,i had truble with one a couple of years back,could not lift a chainsaw for 6 months and didnt work for 12 months.I was only going walking pace haha,so from know on i go fast and havnt had a problem since.

Yeah Andrew I know all about stacking quads mate. I ended up with about 4 months off work myself and still having neck and shoulder issues. Hit a cow hole at 90kph and was KO'd in the paddock for a while. Sorta hurt a tad and at the time they thought I'd broken my neck Must have been the inertia from my fat head...

Geez, when did Customs drop that little bomb ?

A mate told me today that he'd read it in The Advertiser sometime last week. Wankers...

Looks like Gerry Harvey, et al (and the ATO) have had a win :msp_mad:

 

[tdi-rick]

and WTF are you getting a 660 for ?
Surely a 390 or 395XP would be more 'suitable'

Crikey Rick I was only using the 660 as an example. If I wanted to import 7kg of lead I'd get it via China

While we're at it I found this today - frightening stuff...

U.S. National Debt Clock : Real Time

Now with this $500 limit we have even less of chance to help our American mates.

I think we are still safe for a little while - customs website hasn't changed yet, but it most likely will change sooner than later.

When buying over the internet

 

[husq2100]

so does the custom thing include the shipping costs??? cause I was told it does, by customs many times....but many here have said it doesnt....:bang:

Stihl: So I fixed and old BG55 blower a while back and it had sat for a while (fuel draind) fired it up, all good, but a tank leak...looks like it was the vent. So I ring the local ego merchant, I mean Stihl dealer, and describe what happening....before I could finish he tells me its the 2 fuel lines that come out of the tank.....I say no ive checked these and I can see the fuel bubbling out from around the vent....He tells me the vent is incorporated in those 2 lines....I tell him NO its a serperate vent and Im looking at it right now.....he says no it doesnt have one and I better bring it in so HE can show me and then says good bye....short story I order a SEPERATE vent for $15 and its fixed.....GO STIHL!!!!!!!!!

Makita: I may have convinced my mate to by one of those DC6401's from the bay...which is actually sydney tools...I couldnt believe it, I figured it would be hard to get this guy to spent $300 on a saw...But he seems pretty keen.....I did make it easy by sending him to the Stihl shop to price saws and told him to get a broucher with specs.....then I pulled up the price and specs of the DC6401....SOLD!!! haha GO STIHL

Matt, he was keen on your but unsure of parts/service/warrenty...he is not a saw or engine guy AT ALL. I told him it is what it is...But untill he has the DC6401 in his hands, anything is possible

 

[tdi-rick]

I hope they have a little 'grace' period for this, if it's happening at all.

It wouldn't be fair on those in the middle of transactions ATM.

I think it's already in place according to my mate as he does a lot of importing too. I can't find anything on it all, even on The Advertiser's website...

so does the custom thing include the shipping costs??? cause I was told it does, by customs many times....but many here have said it doesnt....:bang:

No mate it definately doesn't. Straight from the horse's mouth as I was busily trying to extricate my 390XPG from their grubby paws...
