I just gave birth on hearing that...

 

the tires I put cost-730 us$..everything here has 200% tax..{2600sh}...
Just gave birth again..

 

Holy crap

 

I'm serious about having it sent from here.
I can fetch the stuff for you from our local bike shop - and send it to you as a gift, or get them to send it for you, and pay nasty import duty.They even keep camchains for the 1000F with a masterlink !
Let me know what you need - I've known the owner for 15 years, and I buy my tyres from him.
He'll do a credit card over the phone for you, no problem.
Anything's better than getting screwed like that again.......

 

Thanks again..I really appreciate the help,if you havebeen with this guy for 15 years he must be one of the good guys..I will be happy to do buisness with him in the future..Cheers.

 

Look me upon facebook-Craig joel butchins,Israel.
We go riding every sunnyweekend..check out some pics,the country is small but pretty..

 

Thanks Craig - I'm not a 'facebook' fan.
Bike shop owner is Grant Umpleby. He used to be the Honda dealer, now Suzuki, but I still take the bike there for tyres and chains (no charge for fitting) and if you need wheel bearings fitted same time, minimal cost there too.One of the good guys.
Know your beautiful country better than you think - have some friends ex Israeli Air Force (now retired) and many from my generation worked on the kibbutzim in their youth - not me though.

 

Me too..Im not the computer guy,me being a "Gaden boy" and all,but thats the place were we get our rides toghether for the weekend,anyway nothing compares to the South African landscape...my heart is still in the bush.....{with Jock and friends}

 

Israel is a beautiful place, been more than once. Hope you find a parts hookup that comes in at a little less than crazy.
