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

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" !!

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.
