Guzzirider Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Well I hope you find a bike that suits your needs Rob. If I had more space I'd offer to let you store it down here with the hope that more punters would come and see it but my garage is full to the brim! Link to comment
Bbennett Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Your price is very very fair. Link to comment
helicopterjim R.I.P. Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 . . . . and have a good stroll around Scotland. I'm sure I have relatives there somewhere holding my inheritance for me ..... The only things I inherited from my Scottish sires are a bristly attitude and a taste for liquids smacking of gearoil and gunpowder. Best of luck Bert. Maybe she just wants to stay home with you! Were you referring to something such as this .....? Link to comment
pete roper Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Unfortunately Jerry you can't bring it over as a Classic either. Nothing after 1985 if it was ever imported here. The only exceptions are vehicles you have lived with for over six months and have a 'Personal' attachment too. Yes, it sucks. Pete Link to comment
Tom M Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 My biking future is bolt upright,slow and behind a bloody great windscreen....(but its better than none.. ) Sorry to hear that you're having such a hard time finding a buyer. I guess you've already decided that a peg lowering kit and taller handlebars won't work on the Ballabio for you? The Motratech kit moves the foot controls down and forward quite a bit. http://www.motratech.com/MGC-SB10.html Link to comment
Ballabio Bertie Posted January 11, 2013 Author Share Posted January 11, 2013 Hi Tom,I've seen these kits before but I think that a Ballabio with them and higher bars (and a bigger screen)wouldn't be a Ballabio anymore,if you see what I mean..... Link to comment
mznyc Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Hi Jerry.You still not found one down under then?Note I didn't say all enquiries were from Arseholes... Hi Michael,I hope that Scura of yours is hanging together now.It'sabout time you had the crossover and pc on there isn't it? She almost running too good.maybe I'll jinx it trying to give her some more bollocks ? Plan on gettin them on this winter.Hopefully you'll sell yours before that happens ! 1 Link to comment
Guzzirider Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 If it is still unsold by April bring it down to the Guzzi Club GB Scottish Rally with a For Sale sign and get pissed with the rest of us! 1 Link to comment
tattootim1 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 How do all the Harleys get imported into Australia Pete, They bring containers of them over. Maybe call it parts then build and register it that way. Not sure but I've had my eye on a Tenni in NZ currently asking $6,000au dollars 21,000ks and going by the # ex Japan Bike. Even for parts its cheap. Hmm my wife is a kiwi and we go there fairly often maybe I'll keep it for a Kiwi ride if I could trust the Kiwi's to keep it in one piece for me LOL. Its on Trade Me Link to comment

I know exactly what you mean Bertie. Are you thinking about a Stelvio as a replacement? Link to comment
Ballabio Bertie Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 Not a Stelvio Tom,but I'd like to try a Quota.. Link to comment
mznyc Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Went up to the Western Highlands in March up to Skye and the first thing I thought of is all these off shoot,single track dirt roads that go back into cold,dark, scary looking glens and how cool would it be to have a Stelvio or gulp,..a GS to go exploring! May be some of the best dual sport scenery in the world. Link to comment
Guzzirider Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Quota is a quirky beast- the 1100ES version steers and handles remarkably well (it was designed by Dr John Wittner), but it is hard to get the fuelling right with the single injector. I am going to fit some twin V11 injectors and manifolds to mine to help her run better and improve economy. Great for the bumpy moorland roads and cheapish to buy too, if you can find a good one.

Morris Sod Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Sorry to hear your having difficulties. I contacted you a while ago and would love to buy the bike. You were a pleasure to deal with, sent me the pictures and pointed out any details, none of which I had any problems. Trouble is, as we discussed at the time, I'm in Australia and whilst I can buy the bike and put it in a garage in the UK, I can't import to Australia due to very restrictive import regulations. Not much point having it sitting in the back of a garage half a world away. At the moment I would need to wait around 12 years before I could bring it over as a 'classic'. If anyone has any ideas or knows how I could get this bike over to Aus I'm all ears ( or eyes in this case). Equally frustrated, Jerry Hi Jerry just read your post re the Ballabio, would you be interested in a very tidy 2000 model V11 Rosso Mandello Ltd Ed for $10500 AUD located on the mid North Coast NSW - Morris Link to comment
