Had a mate Rob over last week and we fitted the Hella FF50' driving lights that I had. Did a test ride to Brisbane and back and quite happy with them. Still wished I had the $$$'s for the HID's but these will do.
Found out yesterday that I need to get the bike to Sydney for shipping as there were not enough for a Brisbane container, and its for loading on the 21st May so earlier than I had thought. This means I have to get the final prep done to it in the next 2 months........... hmmm
Need to arrange bike insurance while in the US and travel insurance, will get that sorted soon.
Lastly, because of finances I will not be doing as many training rides as I had planned, no cross Aust trip before I go which is a bummer. But you live with what you have.

Good news day
Got confirmation from Dave Milligan of GetRouted who are shipping my bike to the US for the rally that its all happening. http://www.getrouted.com.au/
I had told very few of my concerns over this, although Dave was always positive it would happen it depended on getting enough bikes for a shipment to be done. Obviously there are huge costs in doing this and he could not be expected to ship two or three bikes. Anyhow he has a good number heading over now and although a few more would be great its a goer.
Dave & Maggie offered me a huge discount to ship my bike when they heard what I was doing. This has been a blessing for us as the costs were mounting.
These guys are tops.

Kawasaki Australia
I have been able to renew the support of Kawasaki Australia after talks with the new National Sales manager Robert Walker. They had put so much time, effort and money into the "Davo & Roku" saga that it made perfect sense to continue that along in some way.

With the current economic state of the world I am very pleased with the result.
Kawasaki Australia will supply a loaner 1400GTR to cover the period mine is in shipping to the US. This alone is worth a lot to me so I can continue with my training. Unsure if it will be Roku that I have put 55,000 klms on or another but its good news.
They have also supplied me with a JVC video camera that JVC had given to them so I can document some things when time permits. Kawasaki clothing and a small but welcome amount to put towards my costs.
Both myself and my wife are thrilled to have this continued support or connection to Kawasaki Australia. Nice to know I have them there.
