Enjoyed the race (but being Aussie felt bummed about Casey going down - seems he just lost the front end). Best ride from Nicky for quite a while, and I'm sorry he missed out on 3rd - he was all over Dovi round the back but just couldn't get the drive onto the straight consistently, and was run...

I thought that was just for the scrotes, and the testicles were stored elsewhere :D

Wilbers Suspension - rear shock and front springs - but this was on the first model with very soft suspension (Superbrace worked well with this too). Carbon Fibre Tank Protector - I add this to my 2 new bikes the week I took delivery. Still looks as good today as when I put it on 8 years ago...

And of course she loves going for rides, even if it is in the car: And we also have what I call our 'wild pets' - wild birds that we feed. This is a family of Butcherbirds (3 generations at the time this piccie was taken, now 4 generations). Molly comes to fetch me when they call so they...

Just for you. In her winter coat. During summer here we keep her coat far shorter - just too warm otherwise: @AVGeek - lovely. I'll bet that was once your bed before it was taken over :D

About 7 years ago I did come accross an actual car fire almost from start to finish. This was just after I stopped - the occupants were all out of the car in a small group looking helpless: Within minutes it had progressed this far: And once the firies got there they had it out within a...

Noted, and thanks!! By playing with the toggle between km & m you can almost double the photo opps - 106666k's = 66666 miles, etc.

Great story, and well done Dad. Glad you lived.

On a ride 2 weeks ago: Before: and after: One the originals. 2001 - one of the first into Australia. And yes, I have other bikes so these are not the only biking miles in these years.

Can't remember if I've posted a piccie of our Molly (Spoodle). She has been for a ride before, though: I have a spare pannier though, and have considered doing something like Duke's setup: She's a little big, though. Maybe now that Zea is riding her own bike I should make a carrier to...

It's been winter since 2005?

Actually, looking closer, it's more like an iPod Nano (3rd Generation?) (which, BTW, is a horrible piece of equipment. You can't actually switch it off and the battery goes flat!). From what I read, that would rule out OM, as he would just about be getting into Walkman technology around about...

Hi Rog - very good in many ways, and battling along in others. Probably much like most of us, really. Zea totally surprised me 18 months ago by getting her learners licence, then going on and getting her open licence. She now rides her new FZ6 and totally loves it - wants to ride easily as...

I did think the yellow helmet might help, and the boots too. The gloves maybe also. I like the comment about OM, and I had considered him, but if OM really is O then I think this rider was too young by a decade or 2. Here's some closer detail. There are some clues - looks like a...

Anyone recognise this rider? The piccie was taken on the move in September '09 when we were headed from Santa Barbara to Carmel, California, while we were on a 3-week tour of the USA. We were on a black FJR (2-up, loaded for touring) in the company of friends on a ST1300. I tried to get...

I'm with OC on this one. Can't believe you would be so damn inconsiderate :rolleyes:

Here's a piccie on my USA-based Fjr:

Late on the scene, and congrats on the purchase. May you both have many happy miles together. My wife just got her new FZ6 early January, and we just completed a 2,900 mile ride in 8 days - I carry all our gear on the FJR (she has the left bag and 1 pair of shoes in the topbox. Topbox also...

Me too! :angry2:
