We at Autoshite science department ran this through the HAIRNET TRANSLATOR:

My postman has left his sack on my doorstep.

What does this mean? Am I the postman now?

He’s either been kidnapped, regenerated like Doctor Who, or shat himself.
I’m scared. I don’t own any practical shoes. This is very stressful. I can’t deal with being handed responsibility and passing things on. I grew up in the 90s for God’s sake - we were constantly terrified of receiving fake Blue Peter chain letters.

I’m living in a horror movie.

No one is answering the phone at the sorting office. 

This bigger than I thought 

Am I now actually in charge of the Royal Mail?
I’ve called 5 numbers. No response to any of them. Well one person answered but couldn't understand me.

So I guess that’s it - setting my alarm for 3am and starting my shift at 4. If you see me, give me a wave. I promise I won’t judge if you open the door after lunchtime in your pyjamas.

i was thinking that last pic was gonna be different :D

 

[hairnet]

ok fuk it

this happened

bit like when you drive past something and you go oooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

then turn round to go back and look

i was looking at ads for the modern version - which was gonna make @Conanhave a go and was looking for stuff on trademe planning for hopefully whenever i can go over again

looking for second hand new ones these were coming up too

used in oz and nz for delivering the post

i thought fuckit why not - nothing wrong with being silly right?

for the price this was its a bargain and its unlikely to be as knackered as a uk one

yes its in nz - its a 2001 with 40000 kms wof till november and just done rego

massive to @Parky

[UltraWomble]

Surely shipping it will render it just as expensive as a UK one - been looking at CT125 and 110 bikes in Japan & Thailand but getting a single unit shipped to the UK puts the price into orbit around the moon.

[tobyd]

Riding it home surely?

[hairnet]

not really too bothered - wouldnt have bought it if i was worried about the money

still far cheaper than the two uk ones ive seen - even with shipping it would be far less than theirs

Surely you must have at least 17 overdue overseas holidays by now?  Why not combine them all into one epic roadtrip?

[Parky]

When Mrs Parky finds out, I will be looking for a route back to the U.K. 

Hairnet, is it ok if it has about 12000 miles more on the odo when it arrives?

[bub2006]

Great purchase sir. Are these the ones with high/low box? 

[Parky]

Hairnet, about two months from now, getting over 100mpg from this hog....

The cost for the motorcycle shipping service to the Felixstowe depot in the UK is $3950

= £2194.63

Total £3191 before slimy added tax & import duties.

Fuck dat for a game of soldiers.

[Parky]

Costs vary a lot.  This place, Uship, estimates a lower figure

Same happened when we shifted our stuff from the U.K. to NZ.  Quotes varied from £2500 to £11000!

I did read a story about a bloke who flew to Aus, but didn't fancy the long flight home, so bought one of these and rode back instead. Mind you NZ is a bit further away.

i absolutely want to know where you buy your drugs from

i had two quotes before and did one yesterday

for half the price i paid for the bike - for your quote i could have bought many bikes AND had the holiday

even if i have to include packing - getting it here will still be cheaper than the price of the bikes ive seen advertised here - trust me i was well looking into that before i pulled the trigger - even when doing the nutty planned shit with @Conan it was considered - and i still did it
