Who is asking the dealer to "send" anything.  I think we are talking
about walk-ins here.  My dealer did not ask if I intend to take
my machine to the US.  I know of another who may have contributed
to the current shortage of Mega ST2's in the US by purchasing there
and carrying with him to a third country.
None of these activities are illegal, nor should they endanger the 
status of a dealership.


Good grief.
