    Hey Bob
    Interesting point and one that Chris and I spoke about after doing the rounds at the Showgrounds. As I stated before, we enjoyed the show but thought certain elements should be added, after market parts being one.
    There is an almost desperate need for the bling to be on show, looking at the bikes, bikers have long pockets and are prepared to spend.
    Many people i speak with bar a few, source parts overseas because of cost and availability. Not certain why we don't get the same here, could be a numbers game or the cost is simply prohibitive, not sure.
    Will be interesting to hear how other persieve this issue.

    i wasn't sure weather it was down to the ADR  and compliance rules  here as they don't seem to like you changing parts or building specials and dealers push genuine parts here to line they own pockets even when they have pattern parts in stock it seems
    not sure how it would go down at transport if i strap a turbo to my zephyr  :p
