Stumpy, there is a big hole in the system ect. A local club were having a show could they borrow one of my Shadows for the show. the next day a English guy and his son came to my home with the guys from the club returning my Bike, and said could he buy the Shadow, price was agreed money paid, then the local Harley dealer rings me to say he is pick up the bike putting it into a Harley crate taking it to Adelaide airport and it is going to the UK no problems it happened ( no trouble sending things out of a country no paper work wanted except a engineers report to say the Bike has no oil or petrol in it ) five years later a guy from the USA said he had the bike and was very happy, two years after that the then club registrar at the time contacted me and asked me for the details of the bike somebody in the UK had cloned that bike put into a auction in the UK unlucky for them a guy from the USA bought it, try to get it into the USA there customs had the same engine on file the last I heard the bike was still in the UK. so the moral of the story is no trouble sending a bike out of a country.
