To the Darwin community
 

Hi guys,
after travelling Australia we leave the country via Darwin to East Timor October 15th. Our deadline for the bikes is October 9th and we are thinking of arriving mid next week to get all our stuff sorted out. I have t o contact the local motorcycle dealers to get a crate and try to get it somehow to the harbour.
Tim Hobins and Adma Lewis told us about the community in Darwin and that there could be some help:thumbup1:.
Youeven might know a place where I could be able to service a bike if the campsite is not happy with me doing an oil change :(
Thanks and cheers

It is just another path .. possibly a better one? And even 'experienced' people over look things sometimes .. so no worries there.

The oil change thing .. I've resorted to riding some distance .. find a dirt road .. dig a hole let the old oil in that hole .. move bike away .. cover hole with sand ..
and refill with the new oil.. Not the best way for the environment .. but the oil actually helps stabilise the dirt road ..

However if you buy the new oil at a garage then negotiate with them to dispose of the old oil ... more expensive than a supermarket but you get to get rid of the old oil .. and they will usually supply a container for the old oil..
