you cant but generally relocation agents can arrange employment and get you sponsored for a visa, but you only need one car and a bike.

Indeed.

I'm tending to disagree with what's been said, if you keep your eyes peeled you should be able to get an ok curvy for £1k, sell your bike privately and that's atleast a grand in the pot. A good bit of money - I'd imagine your insurance would be slightly cheaper too.

Just looked how much an Oz visa is for me as I've used up my working visa already.





AUS$230 ... one off payment. Nothing else Definitely worth being on their 'please please come' list

My curvy does about 50 miles per day and it has been through alot and not cost me too much too run, problem is if its anything like mine wen u buy it ther will be numerous hidden problems, lets just say mines quite possibly on its way out now, its a k1 with about 42k miles on it and i doubt il own it in 6 months... (it has taken 2 years and about 20k miles of me thrashing it though...
