Stihl dealer told me he knows of a guy that
Tried to ship 2 500i to the U.S..
He didn't know where the guy bought them at.
But they were stopped at the first attempt
At customs.
He had them taken apart and they tried again
They were seized at the second attempt
The guy's out of quite a bit of money.
