Can't help you but...

I may be making the journey in the opposite direction next Fall.
What about bringing my 85 Westy, American Specs over there?  I would
be staying a year or two.  IF, i get the job, that is...

Wonder if it would be worth it or should I sell or store it here and
buy something there.  I hate to sell it because it is in such good
shape with only 84,000 miles original.  Not to mention the new tires,
breaks, battery, shocks, muffler, cat, front bearings and a lot of
love.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Jim in Atlanta with 85 Westy.
