    Thanks Patriot, we didn't actually realise NAFO was on in that location at that time otherwise we may have tried to fit it in but at this stage we're on a bit of a tight schedule so I don't think we can do it. I'll email you directly.

    East Coast to West Coast Advise

    Well now, from what we're reading it seems that maybe we shouldn't be writing off the Gulf area just yet. From what Patriot is saying it's not that bad after all and it seems they've just plugged the well so hopefully things will improve from here on. Any other comments on the situation?

    Really appreciate the kind offer but I don't think we'll be getting that far north this trip.

    East Coast to West Coast Advise

    That would be the week of October 11th to 15th, I think we fly out on the 15th or it might be the 16th, not sure, the wife has been dealing with that stuff. I'm all about the bike and gear.

    East Coast to West Coast Advise

    Thanks, we are looking into B&B places for sure, we've stayed at a few in NZ and are keen to do so in the states. If you have any in particular you can recommend on our route we'd appreciate it. Always nice to get a personal opinion rather than one from a publication.

    Kiwi's in need of your advise

    Good thinking my friend, thanks very much. I look forward to their response.

    Kiwi's in need of your advise

    No, before you can register a newly imported vehicle it has to go through a thorough inspection. Plates are issued to the vehicle and stay with that vehicle for the life of the vehicle. Thanks.

    Kiwi's in need of your advise

    We are buying an FJR from a guy in Georgia which we intend to ride to LA in a round a bout way then send it home to NZ. What we need to know is how we go about registering the bike so we can ride it. We were planning on getting a " In Transit Permit " which would allow us 30 days to transport...

    Alarm Systems

    Hey guys, do any of you have any experience with alarms for FJRs. We're going to be touring the states in Sept / Oct this year and would like to fit an alarm system to our bike. Can you please post your experience with any alarms and any recommendations you might have. Thanks Allan & Jen

    Wanting to buy 2008 FJR1300AE

    Thanks for that my friend, we've seen that one on Craigs list, a little expensive for us. We're currently talking with Speedtoyz who has one for sale so we'll see how that goes.

    Wanting to buy 2008 FJR1300AE

    Thanks again for your interest my friend. I've been watching Craigslist closely for some time and am able to purchase an 08 manual shift with about 1600 miles for $9000 so thats a figure I'm sort of basing things on I guess. I'll check out the cycletrader sight as well thanks.
