I'm going through the process right now.

Waiting for quarantine inspection and booked in at the motor vehicle registration (MVR) office (Goyder road) on Friday, when hopefully I have possession of my bike - for an imported vehicle compliance check to obtain the CTP insurance.

But that will only be valid for NT. Once I cross the state border into Queensland 5 days later I have to obtain CTP valid in Queensland . . .

Australia don't make it easy!

Hey snake. If you are heading home in December and need a place to store your bike in Perth drop me a line.
Xander

Thanks so much for your kind offer Xander but I have already got a place to store my bike for christmas and new year in Victoria. So it wont be neccesary.

However I will be in Perth next week if everything goes well. Will have my bike serviced there. Any tyre shops with a good selection and reasonable prices in Perth? Any other advices for Perth and around, places to see, stay etc?

Hey Snake,
With out a doubt best place for tyres in perth is "Tyres for Bikes"
621 Albany Hwy, East Victoria Park WA 6101
(08) 9362 6262
(not Cheap cus this is Perth, Australia but best prices and selection around and honest)

Other then that there is heaps to do around perth., what kinda stuff do you like?
Culture: hit fremantle
on way down: hit the pinnicals (strange rock stuctures in cervantes).

Lots and lots easier to catch up for abeer and chat..


Once south hit Squilly with a pm he is the nullabor expert

Hi and thanks for the advise about tyreshop in Perth.

I found this place on the net, seems good with a wide selection:

Motorbike dyno | North Perth | The Bike Doctor

Worth checking out?

Ok I see. Thanks for advice... :-)

Hi Kurt,
I have been trying to get a message to you in regards to you ride east but having difficulties with the PM.
You are welcome to stay with us when you ride through Adelaide on your way east to Bendigo.
Send me an email at jeffthechef49@hotmail.com or try another Pm.
Look forward to hearing from you,
Jeffrey

I second what Xander said, on avoid bike doctor & use "Tyres for Bikes" in east vic park.

Mezo.

I did use "Tyres for bikes"

Fitted a pair of Sava Invader 24. Unknown brand for me but is said to be 70/30 on/off road and looked similar to those I had Shinko 705.

Very quick service and helpful guys at Tyres for bikes.

Thanks for the advice guys - much appriciated!
