Yamaha XT600
hi to all,

we are two bikers from germany and drove down to SA with a yamaha xt600.
we wanna stay in cape town a few months.

so we don't want to ship the bikes back to europe, too expensive

we have a offical document the "carnet"
now we have to registrate the bikes,
first step: we have to go for a letter of authority at the southafrican bureau of standards!
second step: we have to look for a import permit
third step: go to the customs at the southafrican renenue service

anybody who knows about this stuff? how much does it cost? and do we have a lot of hussles and how much time does it need?

ohterwise we have another option, to destroy the bikes and sell the used spare parts!?

thanks a lot
gerd
