Aussie Post with a couple of stamps should fix it........ Express Post may be quicker?
Truck the bikes to Adelaide and then ride them to MelbourneGOR better from the SA end I reckon .. great ride and a shorter plane trip .. ticks all the boxes.
Top idea! A few others along for the ride would only make it better

the run from Border Village to Port Augusta is 1000+ km's - i've done it...........once...
By the way, it's been flat out at Joe's for the last 2 weeks fitting tyres and selling (approved) helmets and other gear to the local Rebels. They all left on Thursday, about 70 or so, to ride to Perth for the national Rebels get together. They were planning 1,000km days and were meeting up with other chapters at Port Augusta and then riding over together.

Be interesting to see how they go. I'm sure more than a few of them had no idea what they were in for. Those that did were buying practical stuff, even full face helmets and rain gear. But some were buying undersized open faces so they could shave the liner down. 8,000km in an open face, hanging onto ape hangers!
Have to say that appart from a couple of blokes who thought they were sh1t hot, they were a decent bunch of guys. Meeting them at a bike shop probably helped.

Yeap looking forward to it, I need plenty of practice on the tarmac. Feel the need to get some clicks on the beastie as I have spent way to much time in the mud on the farm bike this year.
