my parents went to brizzie, 2600km round trip to pick up 2 boulevards, then they didnt even ride them back (they didnt have rego, but thats beside the point)
edit: oh yeah, that was from canberra, and we went there and back in 2 and a half days

I got a train from Canberra to Sydney, then flew to Maroochydore to pick up the ZXR. Took a week and 1900km to get it home via the coast to Port Mac then up to Mudgee to see dad and then back to Canberra

Re: How far have you gone to buy a bike
Surprisingly......the longest distance is a piddly trip from Sidderney to Anarchy Road - to grab a Z750 twin that Billy arranged for me !!
All the rest have been local down here ( I think......hang on), I did get a couple of RD's from Sydney as well a few years ago...
Closest - delivered to the front door. A 1974 Z1A. Complete. Required 1 x exhaust valve guide. Basically original & unmolested. $350.
Thats a new definition for "Hard To Beat" !!

Re: How far have you gone to buy a bike
Furtherest i've gone (for my first and only bike) was my own driveway. The seller was happy to ride it to my house for the exchange.
