Favour in Darwin
Hi,
We are on route from UK to NZ, currently island hopping through Indonesia and will be shipping from Dili to Darwin. We were hoping that someone maybe able to help us in Darwin by allowing us to order a few parts and a new set of tyres to their address so we could collect on arrival in Darwin as we believe the bike has to have some equivalent to an MOT to be allowed onto the roads. Any help would be massively appreciated!
Many thanks,
Paul

Be nice and warm up there now, rain .. probably each afternoon .. but you are traveling in it now so not too much of a change. Go south if you want colder and to get out of the rain.

Just as an aside, Ive had tyres shipped from the states and that still worked out cheaper than local.
