...just wondering if anyone has info on bringing a new Harley into Australia...buy in America from a regular dealer and ship it out to Oz. Will it pass Australian emission regulations in US form? Can you get a compliance plate without too much drama?

any takers?????????

Reading about Abby's/Hot01's cross-country ride (and sharing a brief time with her here during the oil change) inspired me to re-read the book "Zen & the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" by Robert Pirsig. If you have not read it, it is a great book for anyone that rides - or anyone else, for that matter (though they will likely want to ride if they have the salt). If you aren't hooked after the first chapter, I'd be surprised. It is available in libraries and bookstores everywhere. Check it out, especially if circumstances (weather, medical, divorce takes your ride, etc) keep you away from the saddle.

If you are new and not familiar with Hot01's journey, check out her posts here and her blog (linked from her posts here).

And for Abby: no, I am not insinuating you are now or have...

This just can't suck enough. I had a great ride today. The weather was perfect, probably the best for the whole trip. My house is clean, my bills are all paid, I even had a big fat check waiting for me. I can't stand to go inside. The walls are closing in on me. I'm sitting out on the porch with my laptop.

Maybe I should pitch the tent in the yard.
