Actually we have just sent a set of bars out to Australia and (unlike most other companies) because we remove the UK sales tax (VAT) once we sell outside the UK the bars actually only cost �170.00. Add postage and the total comes to �218.00 compared to �205.00 posted inside the UK. Only a few pounds difference.

Hope your plate arrived ok!

Also, many thanks to Steve D for stopping in and letting us have a look at his bashplate combo yesterday. It had clearly taken a serious impact over the weekend on the right side of the plate and bars. Steve said the way the angle of impact had happened he reckoned the clutch casing would have shattered without protection, to say nothing of some serious damage that would have happened to his right foot.

Luckily his foot and the casing were fine. Other than a scratch the plate was unmoved, all the crashbar mounts were perfectly solid and there was no movement or deformation to be found anywhere.

Exactly how it should be. Happy customers make for a happy Adventure-Spec!
