    I just picked up an LC4 and road it back 1100 sub zero miles in 36 hours so I am a hooked on that crazy machine. Hope I'm not wrong. Thanks for all you help. Can't wait to land in Cape Town.

    Foreigner purchasing a bike in SA?

That would save allot of time and hassle in shipping. Can anyone give me feedback on whether or not that's doable. I...
