    Dark side insurance Q's

    Wow all this insurance company paranoia ..... the companies have become so powerful. In OZ, the first thing a lot of people do is change wheels and tyre sizes getting away from the cheese cutters most manufactures put on cars and most riders I know start to muck around with tyre sizes because...

    Dark side insurance Q's

    Luckily, the local Bridgestone owner here in Orange used to own a bike shop and is a keen rider ..... he actually does it because the bike wheel is flat and not indented so there is a bit of care and a lot of soap that has to be used in fitting. Good luck with the "flat earthers"

    Next Generation Key-Less System

    Send @DEcosse a PM .... you won't regret it. I have been thinking of putting an electronic voice recording in the circuit that goes to the blinkers so when I approach the bike is says "are you going to ride me hard big boy?" and when I walk away it will say "I need a rest after all that hard...

    Wow what a company. I spent a week riding around the bottom of Queensland a couple of weeks ago which would have been an absolute pleasure except .....

    You all take care of yourselves

    Wow .... I hope you keep it together man. You are on my list of people I want to meet when I ride the States in the next couple of years. Remember .... good whisky relaxes blood vessel walls and thins the blood. Hurricanes can't beat you, this **** can't.

    Been doing some Thinking.

    Yep... nailed it☝️I guess I’m lucky to be married to a woman who doesn’t have a problem with bike parts in the kitchen, and work is tolerant of me taking weeks off to ride and do “health promotion”. Part of a professional group called Psychs on Bikes, we cross OZ every second year doing men’s...
