ok fella`s we were talking `bout this last year, so lets do something about it. who is interested in taking their bike to bonneville in 07 last year i done some inquiring and if we had 5 bikes it would have cost approx $2000 each to ship them over/ return, obviously more bikes would decrease the expense, thats just to get the bikes and stuff there, add on entrie, fares and personal expenses for what its gunna cost ya all up, have a think about it and start posting.

Spending heaps building this year Ronnie, but would be a definite in 08 as i was planning a return trip to Vancouver anyway...plus if any one planning to go after 07 DLRA meeting had a major rebuild would they get it there in time, whats the lead time to get the gear there in time...plus if we sent a 40 footer with a mezzanine floor in it you could put 2 sedans on the floor and 8 plus bikes and equipment above,
Ron , you might want to get in contact with Chris Matheson from Brisbane . I just today saw on the SCTA website that he has entered his car which I believe he entered this year here and ran in OZ . Chris has run a black Hayabusa in years gone by here.
His experience in taking a car to the USA would be helpful I'm sure.
Was the cost you quoted for transportation with a 20 or 40 foot container? and where would it be leaving from?
1 FAST HAYABUSA 217.443mph so far
9 Official Timeslips over 200mph
Very much the apprentice
from memory it was a 20' container to salt lake city, and the price was from either or, sydney/melbourne, give me a week or so and i will get some up to date fact`s and figures together
was down at the winternats, had i known i would have chased chris up, will try to track him down and have a yarn , yes any help would be appricated...
in the meantime what is the feeling on which meeting to attend
i sort of feel that maybe 07 is too close (12 months), maybe 08 would give time for more to come on board, and also there is a lot to plan, orginise, cordinate

Ronnie, see if it's cheaper to have container shipped to west coast port such as Oakland or Alameda or even San Francisco.It's only 1/2 a days drive on freeway all the way to Wendover. I would be happy to help out as it's home territory for me.
thanks jim, earlie days yet, i will keep you in mind,, i have a mate in town here who comes from the sanfran area, he advised oakland also, makes a lot of sense, so it is the port i have given preference too when talking with the shipping agents, (talking with shipping agents is a experience , no worries)
