Well the grand import plan was going oh so well until I received an e mail that the gear in USA is back ordered until 20th January.
Bugger that, canceled the lot, went to the local shop and bought from there. will have it in next week. The boots and armour will set me back an extra $95 AUD. BUT I will build a rapport with the local guy and be able to get a bit of a discount on future items, so it probably works out better in the long run.
Good thinking, always helps to have someone local as a backup.. I have two friends with motorcycle stores and a KTM dealer just a few miles from home. I try to spend with all of them to some extent. If I get stuck and need something at the last moment I can usually find that one of them can help me out. Always keep your eyes open for bargains of course, if you are saving big bucks then buy it wherever.
