The best laid plains, Ohh wait.....Houston we have a problem.

The background is that Alan's Harley was being shipped from Auckland, New Zealand into Melbourne Australia. with an arrival date of the 25th of September and clearing quarantine by the 6th of October.
My bike would leave Perth and get into Melbourne on the 6th of October.

Well my bike has arrived (i checked my bike tracking GPS), Alan's bike has arrived but won't clear quarantine until at least Friday 8th of October which delays blast off until Tuesday 12th or Wednesday13th of October.

Ohh well, never mind i have plenty of things we can do in Melbourne when i get there.

So the tip of the day is
When Shipping a bike from NZ (or from anywhere overseas in general) get  a definite date of arrival and when it will actually be ready before picking a date to begin the ride.

cheers
