Hello,
I wanted to give everyone a update. Viktor's machine is crated and we are currently working through Government, custom's, and airline shipping documents and authorization's. It looks like everything is a go! Viktor's machine will be taking flight soon!
Matt
Glad to see the update, I can just imagine the hoops one has to jump through to make the deal happen.
That's really good news for Viktor.
For you guys joking about taking it from Alaska, the Bering Strait is frozen solid in the winter. He could have driven it across and never got his feet wet. However, that would land him in Siberia in the winter. In addition, the Russian troops along the strait are not real understanding about folks coming across that way. They tend to shoot first and ask questions of the corpse from what I hear. Still, it would have been quicker and, probably, easier than the course he ended up taking.
Excellent M Ox Inc,we all knew all jokes aside it would happen I cant wait to hear the results of Viktors first ride,Matt O you have done more for US/Russia relationship than any government appointed stuffed shirt could,on that thought Matt O for president.Cheers NCT
Considering how long this deal has taken to complete, i sure hope he is happy with his new toy. It would suck to have buyers remorse after all of this...

Now I finally realize why those Russian Bears have been buzzing the Alaska border lately. Sheesh! I give you kudos Victor for your perserverence.
The question now is; will it be an outdated three year old machine, or a new one?
