Two BM tourists passing Brisbane 24th on route to Maleny.
One tourist (me) at loose end Friday. If you are a freelance gentleman, want to join up in Maleny, Thursday or Friday?
I've always thought that two mango and graphite R1100s would look good together in front of a coffee shop for a photo-op ...

Al,

Thanks for suggesting an alternative, although the possibility of back-to back rides on different makes is appealing. However cost must be considered, and I am after all, a Trixter.
Wear a dinner jacket under the leathers, and drop in to Klosters or Garmisch. for a James Bond moment.

Well I can ...

Anyone zeroed in on this yet?

I haven't done it, but I would really love to.

To me this looks sensational. I could fly in from Oz. Base myself nearby, and ride up and down on a great mix of bikes.

Any reports yet??

Sorry couldn't get the link to work.

Owner described bike as an agricultural all terrain vehicle.

I found this for sale.

The description warrants the owner being dragged behind the bike over a cowpasture, but it is still a good deal. In the main ad it is registered to 2102.

For aircrew, or anyone who ever dreamed of being one, the following blog is great reading.

Apparently a blog for ex test pilots.

Please excuse previous alzheimers moment.

Rolly Beaumont flew the TSR2 from Scotland to Wales very quickly, not the Lightning.

I should proof read my own work.

Long shot, but there was also a Folland Midge. It's a big step from 'midge' to 'meek' but it is all I can offer.

You can Google Folland Midge for more facts.

Of the great, very much lamented, Lightning.
I once heard an interview with Rollie Beaumont who described flying the aircraft from the South ...

Not on your sweet bippy I don't.

Penske pretty much dominates US racing (I know, I know) but I just love having something no one else has. The pose value is huge. (probably so is the price.)

Ohlins are just so yesterday. (':lol ...

Thanks for the link on Conti pressures. Never thought to check.

I never take a pillion, so hoped a lower and softer pressure would be okay, but I will pump them back up to make sure no overheating problems.

Never heard of Conti Attack2 C until you mentioned it. Too late now.

Ah well. We live and ...

It was tyres.

Fitted a set of Conti Attack2 and all my problems went away.

Tips in easily and tracks true. No longer necessary to have two strong men prise my fingers off the handlebars.

I have gone back to 33/38 pressures, which is near factory recommendation. Jury still out on that, but feels ...

Very fair point Vince, but I don't think I am the cause, but I am probably magnifying the symptom by gripping too hard (either with hands or sphincter.)

However no point in doing a course until I am confident the bike is as good and as safe as I can make it.
Plenty of courses here-about, though ...

Fear of falling now becomes fear of running out of money.

I don't disagree with any suggestions, but the cost of tyres plus shocks (even Wilbers) now approaching 20% of value of bike.
Better to jack up the spark plugs and wheel a new bike in underneath. (':)')
Anyway one thing at a time or I won't ...

A Welsh wedding and a chopper club wedding at Caerphilly Castle.

Now we know why that bastion is leaning at 30 degrees.

It was wild knees-up.(':lol:')
