        Pure Case of Mismanagement and ruthless/useless laws in the country

        Why Govt looks at the bigger picture?
        Imposing huge taxes will just boost rampant smuggling,
        People will pay taxes if the tax rates were low
        Speak Less,Speak Wise!

        Sarcasm is my automatic response to stupidity.

                  I wonder how this will work out.
                  Will DRI give the new owners a fully road legal bike with all necessary papers?

                  Hope they don't price the bikes astronomically. And all the best to all who participate in this auction!

                    remember readin on teamBHP about some bugger who got his hands on a siezed 600 class for peanuts.

                    Guys from other cities, keep a eye open for customs auctions. My friend managed to get a 10*16GB Ipod touch at a bargain.

                        because they tried to bend the rules earlier!!


                        is there any website or news outlet that announces these auctions?
                        Why is the man who invests all your money, called a broker?

                          dude its not 300% tax, its 150% duty and 150% penalty as they bought a illegal bike without paying the appropriate tax....

                              And the answer to your question is YES.
                              Its not polite to attack someone's language like this.

                              Does anyone know at what figure the bidding starts?
