    Playing in the shed

    Every now and then I pull the bike cover off my old Z1300 start her up and give it a clean. While I'm at it I go over the big unit, great way to clear the head after a busy week. Riding is better but no time today. Hopefully tomorrow. The Zed feels like a posties bike compared to the Rocket when...

    Distinguished Gents Toowoomba ride

    Once I saw that Brissy had a ride planned I searched and found a local one and went along. Thanks to @Mittzy for posting about it in the first place. Definitely recommend going to anyone thinking of doing it next year. The Toowoomba ride was extremely well run and great to be a part of.
