Import duty £7.55
V.A.T. £29.43
Clearance fee! £13.50

Total £50.48!!!


When I got the seat from the states it was marked " Repaired second hand seat" and I didn't get done for tax!

Order your skid plate, but get them to throw a can of Nitromors at it before packing it. "It's second hand, honest!"

Robin
Thanks very much for the reply Robin. I'm getting so fed up with TT that I think I'll cancel the order and order from AW, I've ordered small parts from them before and they have been great.

Cheers

Mark

There obviously needs to be a type of secondhand-ising treatment for all items sent by post to the UK!! The Uk has clearly demonstrated yet again that it is a nation of shopkeepers!

I feel the need for a bet here. I think I'll get there before you.

Deserts of Mexico or the Atacama down south?

Ahhh, fugheddit.....you'll prolly win on both counts.

I might find a bike in Colombia to zip around on pretty soon.

That'd certainly score me some hep-daddy points for a week or two .

cpmodem - who's seat is that on the back of your 950?

It looks comfy but not a Renzacco or Mayer? That's the one mod I think my 950 realllllyy needs..

Andorra is a cool country. I'd live there in a heartbeat. I could ski my brains out in the winter and run down to Barcelona to chase little Catalana beauties on the weekends.
