[QUOTE="SacramentoMike, post: 1438817, member: 11508"] Me! I've heard of Australia! But as to the question, I once rode to L.A. on a '75 Honda 250cc Enduro. My experience on the 400 freeway miles told me I didn't want to ride it back. I bought my L.A. buddy's friend's 650 Yamaha something and left the Honda with my friend to sell. Signed it over to him, etc. He sold it for something and sent me the money. Good deal with a good buddy, but l wouldn't have wanted to go looking for a local buyer when I wanted to leave, and I didn't have to deal with any "foreign seller" issues, tariffs, etc. Maybe there's a dealership with branches in both Oz cities that would agree to buy the bike back from you? Maybe any dealer would buy it back? You'd take a big hit, of course. No idea if it would be better or worse than the hit you'd take at the rental place (even assuming you could pick it up at point A and drop it off at point B). Good luck. [/QUOTE]
