Nice one thanks! I have it covered now the offer is much appreciated though and welcome to the site, carefull though its quite addictive!
The Sponsors unfortunatley have gone bust which is a real shame as they have been a great help all the way through the build and i have friends that worked there the owner himself is a good friend of mine.
Global recession sucks a big one!!

Cheers Oz

The bike started its journey yesterday and should be in denver around the end of next week depending on how quick it clears customs i have to wait until the 8th unfortunatley but family matters have to come first.
Cheers Sam I could use all the luck I can get!

Just an update really,There has been a few problems in the shipping Dept and the shipping has been delayed due to red tape and a load of running to and fro getting documents drawn up signed etc but it should fly out this weekend at some point arriving Denver via Dallas ready for another road trip to the salt.

The main reason for this post is to say Thank You to Justin Blaskowski at IJS Global for his patience and help with the shipping documents etc.

And a Very Very Big Thank You to several people who have behind the scenes have put together a good deal of money to help out on this trip after the bad news about the sponsors misfortune.

I dont have your details as yet Chris has only just managed to get in touch and tell me but you know who you are and as soon as I do I will be in touch to say thanks in person and I will send something in the post when i get back from Bonneville.

I will do my best for you all and hopefully I will get to say thanks face to face one day it couldnt have come at a better time as without your help it would have been a very tight if not almost totaly impossible trip.

Much respect Oz

Cheers Fellas, I will do my best oh and if anyone else is flying a bike out there have you had any problems with carb floats bursting with the altitude? Bought another set to take as hand baggage just in case.

Hi Oz.
When we took the Kwak out in 07,we had no problem with the floats at all.
Have fun,keep it upright and don't throw a leg out of bed :-D
