Subject: Importing an @ to the USA
Dear Tim Bootle
I know a company that can send a brand new @ to virtually anywhere in the
world. I bought mine there.
Your problem is not going to be getting a bike to the USA, it will be
getting it through USA Customs / paying the tax and then trying to register
it in Florida / USA to make sure it conforms with all Florida / USA design
regulations. This will be the hard bit.
My contact is located just outside London, England.
His name is Brian and his details are:
'Bike Lincs. Limited'
84 Dunsmore Rd
Walton on Thames
Surrey
KT12 2LJ
Phone from the USA: 001 44 1932 240 779
Fax from the USA: 001 44 1932 702010
Tell him 'Tim Andersen, the Australian bloke' gave you his address as he
should remember me.
Good luck. If it were me I would be contacting your Department of Motoring
or whatever it is called in Florida to find out if they will even allow an @
in the USA. I know to get one into Australia costs HUGE $$$ for emissions
and noise testing sessions. Quite often if you import one that you OWNED
outside of the USA for a set period of time then it is different.
For Australia if you own it for 3 months say in the UK (you have to be the
UK for that period) then you can import it into Australia no problem. (As
long as you are in Australia when it arrives).
Maybe you need a 3 month holiday in sunny London!
Regards
Tim.
