sailwesterley got me thinking...
I'm not sure how to contact sailwesterley direct (not enough replies for pm, yet). Anyway, i've been umming and ahhing about the old "non-us buying bike there and selling" conundrum for a few weeks now and decided not to bother as there are too many variables to go wrong there with the legalities and scuppering the trip before it starts. But now it appears people ARE doing it no probs. Main prob seems to me to be the lack of a choice of suitable s/h bikes - dual-sport in general (checked BC and some Calif sites), and that old bugbear of an address. I mailed some dealerships and although they're eager to sell me kit when i press about registering them they never reply back... hmmm. All i want is a DR/KLR-type bike for 3-4000$ (us/can, whatever), that i can register and insure. I suspect this is going to rumble on... confused!
