cheers
steve
OH CRAP!!! Another one [V]
You've got an RD750LC ??? [:0]
Mate, Don't think about it...DO IT !!!
As far as I know all trades are still desperately needed...try looking up Skills in Demand on any Aus Gov website.
Put it this way...I met so many people that said 'Oh I wish I had done that when I was younger'....I was not gonna be one of them.
Jesus died for his own sins...NOT MINE !
Welcome aboard Steve. Don't you think it is funny that 220 years ago you lot thought you'd dump all of your human filth here and now you're flock'n over here like flies to a turd.
On the bright side if you do decide to come over at least you'll live in the country that won the ashes. lol
"It's the eighties and I'm down with the ladies"
No...we let you have them back for a year after totally demoralising you last year......

Hey there Mate welcome aboard , pics of the bikes are a must
750lc ???? .[:0]
Hi
am frae penicuik nr edinburgh...so all cricket related stories dinna worry me
Most of the people sent to Aus in the first wave were Scots...and
laffing at the English is a national pastime up here( lol).
DOnt know where to move to yet ...have been hunting around websites.
Looking for somewhere where I can buy /build a house with a reasonable bit of land ...and where there is loads of work
Any job offers greatfully received .
Looking to bring the bikes over ...the 750lc will hopefully be ready in time for summer ( here) . The engine is now together ...and ready for me to pick up
will get some pics on later today
has anyone brought bikes over?
How did u all get started in moving over?..did u go through one of those websites/newspaper places...or did you do it yourselves?
How much did it cost?..or is there any places worth looking at for info.
oh aye ah no it , anyhoo plenty of work where we are just north of Sydney, obviously loads of work in Sydney,{we re about 90kms[55miles]away]cheaper to buy /build up here Sydneys about 40% dearer maybe [have u done drainage? thers a paddy mob whove probably got work and there just drilling holes in the sewage pipes to do recycled water soon]
bring some tattie scones,an scotch pies way ye
:]
as for emigrating if uv got the time do the paperwork your self do it
but if not try first call in london they can do all the leg work for u but they charge about 600 quid
depends on wich visa u want log on to dimia .gov .au for all visa info and downloadable forms my missus is an aussie so my visa took only 6 weeks to come thru
i dont think u have to pay import tax on the bikes but theirs plenty of ppl on here can tell u more about that
i shipped my stuff thru a mob in Liverpool but u should be able to find a local firm thatll sort u out it takes about 6 weeks for ur stuff to arrive here and theres a day sorting out the customs and stuf at this end
do get the DVLA to issue u with export certs for the bikes before u leave and if ur comin to NSW look up importing vehicles on th RTA site think its RTA.nsw .au
Thats the motor at present...still to get put in frame n rebuilt
Tattie scones ne scoth pies ...nae probs..
whats the haggi like there?...do they run free to the left or right round the mountains?
Have done drainage ...( father in laws a ganger)...but prefer house plumbing
fuk me a 75o stroker wicked
no haggis here [the crocs ate them all]
bring as much paperwork as poss to prove ur skills
i tried to get a job via the net b4 i came but they just wont answer emails
ur better off gettin the paper try lookin in the sydney morning herald website
dont let the rates put u off the cost of livin her is cheap compared to back home for example i live in a 3 bed bungalow on a 800sqm plot with 3 garages and two receptions its worth $360000 [ about 150000 quid and we re 10 mins from the pacific]in sydney the same thing in a nice area would cost u about 500000]
Fuck me ! I'm guessing that should go allright then !!
Oh and welcome along Voivod.
cool....keep me a house like that...wont bother building one then
heres one they made earlier
that was an a/c one
have started a v4 500 as well
thats why I need to move to aus...need bigger garage
and heres an alternativehttp://www.classicmechanics.com/article1.htm
