Hi Chrispy. Yeah currently based out of Brissy, its just a little bit too far at the minute but once I get on road I'll be be popping in for as many chats (and more importantly cups of tea) as possible on the way.
Good news about the Carnet, that seems to be the general consensus but I've just seen a couple of official(ish) websites that name some SA countires as requiring them. I'll take the info of those sites with a pinch of salt from now on.
Permenantly exporting the bike was another concern, at the minute I'm not sure if I'll be returnin to Aus (only a temporary Visa at the minute but this may change) or going back to the UK, hopefully I will have had the bike long enough by then to avoid any UK VAT and duty. Although if that is the case getting the bike back there will involve some more overland travel and definitely a Carnet....just to add another twist.
