Yeah Greeny,
Pretty spot on there, mate! I've had some conversation with Motosport via email, and when I enquired as to why they have stopped shipping tyres to Oz (and suggested what you mentioned), they danced around the question and eventually came back with a piss-poor excuse that it's just not feasible for them....due to shipping costs. I've then further suggested that if that truly is the case....then why not just charge the customer a bit more for shipping (which would STILL be cheaper for us than buying from local m/bike shops here)......and then I get no further response from them!!!![Wtf Wtf](https://www.australian-hayabusa-club.com/MyBB/images/smilies/wtf.gif)
So, not only are they being pressured by the powers that be to stop exporting them to us here in Oz...but they ALSO seem to have been BOUND & GAGGED about telling the TRUTH behind the whole BS situation!!!![Wtf Wtf](https://www.australian-hayabusa-club.com/MyBB/images/smilies/wtf.gif)
Last I heard, we had a free trade act in place with the USA......but due to the actions of some unscrupilous and low-life C*NTS here, the end consumer (...and the exporting retailer) loses!!![Frown Frown](https://www.australian-hayabusa-club.com/MyBB/images/smilies/frown.gif)
But some of us die-hard consumers aren't going down, or even away....without a HUGE fight to the death first!![Knuppel2 Knuppel2](https://www.australian-hayabusa-club.com/MyBB/images/smilies/knuppel2.gif)
Let the battle continue....and may the end consumer [eventually] win!!!![Yes Yes](https://www.australian-hayabusa-club.com/MyBB/images/smilies/yes.gif)
