Sounds like bullshit to me

The mighty brick 42 years and going strong. They have become a big deal in the modded cafe racer scene. https://youtu.be/YcSDnvT5VZ0?si=3zI_ZqKRRQ-6MRSB

Agreed, sharks are complaining about the poor quality of tourists.

Sure, Just fly in and land at WilliamTown RAAF or maybe a Drifter on floats to motor to my boat.

No , it's aweful, stay away and keep safe from Jaws

They only bite on weekends when the tourists arrive.

Good you bought some good riding gear for the cold. For summer or any spirited riding, get some actual leather gear ie a jacket, gloves and preferably leather or at least Kevlar lined jeans. Nothing manmade provides the abrasion resistance of quality leather. Cow leather is great but Kangaroo is the absolute gold standard. For gloves, Roo skin is best for thin but tough. Ride by the motto- " better to leave a long dead cows skin on the road than your own".

Beautiful riding weather here in Port Stephens....waters calm, fish biting and a 167 HP steed awaits.

Good luck with the bike. Use the Piano theory for riding and you will be safe, it's worked for 40 years for me. Stay shiny side up.

Mr cash for comment You could trust John to spin anything to advantage himself and make us feel he was the voice of truth. You pay and he will say The blueprint for Alan Jones et al.

Onya bike buddy .. Good to see Stay shiny side up

The seat and peg placement look comfy like some big scooters. Electric bikes are coming but range is a big issue for touring

I note the front end is very similar to my BMW K12r, but with a silly rake angle. Looks cool but not practical, but that's never stopped motorcycles before.

The coffee culture is certainly a uptake of Italian coffee here in Australia. We are now considered one of the premium coffee cultures in the world. Even Americans with taste buds seek the Aussie version as takeaway, so Aussie chains are taking over from Starbucks. In recent food Olympics, Australia was number one for coffee. We also grow premium coffee in northern NSW and southern QLD.

Sympathy for the devil my friend. BMW make the the best big bikes in the world. The smaller ones not so much.. It feels and looks like new, far better condition than me. I have shaved the big grey beard and long silver hair, hopefully they will mistake me for a young hipster..
