Just put your hand on the wall and follow it downstream, you usually don't get a lot of choices.

Steve Carlton, did you buy a 800GS? If so what made you want that over the R1200GS?

That was a demo bike I took out while a tire was being repaired on my car nearby. I thought the bike was quite nice. Good power, light and nimble. A bit abrupt on/off throttle and the wheels don't take tubeless tires. A good way to go if you want something lighter.

"Well, honestly I don't think any of you have the experience to be just jumping on one of these things and going for a quick spin. I got bug splatter on my helmet coming here this morning, that's how fast I was going, I hit 90km/h downhill in the aerodynamic race position..."

The things you do when your bike is in the shop, heh heh

I hear Australia Post is moving to electric bikes. Be able to sneak up on the dogs and catch them by surprise.

Steve,
What is that second picture? Looks like some alien communication device...


And that dog, looks like he chased a cat into a door!

I think that's a yellow, Steve. Can't tell if it's canary or egg yolk.

Some from the weekend.

This little fellow was out for a stroll across the road and held up traffic at Macquarrie Pass.

The Pie Shop at Robinson.

And some from South Head (Sydney Harbour).
