Things are warming up! only 3 weeks to go! Bike is ready except for a suspect battery. A$289! Still, I don't wanna be stranded in the Tas. wilderness with no sparks. More as it all gets a bit closer.

Fibrillation seems to be under control with medication but breathing was getting just a little tough and not at all pleasant. My GP called up a chest X-Ray which showed a large shadow around my right...

Best wishes for quick recovery from all us in Oz, Mate!

Hi Gunther! I don't know where to start raving about Tasmania - first, you could read the report on the...

It's back on again! I am booked for this one already and can't wait. It will again be in motorcycling Nirvana - Tasmania!...

The track into the Nakum site was pretty interesting as well (previous episode). She obviously has the production of her video as the top priority - setting up her cameras first so as to record the...

Spoke too bloody soon! Three days of relative peace and now the fibrillation is back with all the previous symptoms. I have been told by partner to stop referring to breathing in short pants as...

Procedure done and electrical order restored by the brilliant staff at Epworth Hospital Cardio Dept. (Same complex where...

Finding it hard to believe it is over 8 years since I started this thread cataloguing my journey with cancer on the pillion seat. Unlike several of our dear friends who started with me, I am still...

6 or 8 -it would have made the little Nash jump up and bark! I hope he spent an equal amount of effort on brakes and suspension, they were pretty minimalist on the original, as I recall....

V8 or V6 transplant, Richard?

I wonder why Lambo see a need to advertise the V10 firing order? That front wheel! All is forgiven....

Thanks for the shots of Half Moon Bay! Great memories, a friend took me there mid 90's for the Pacific Coast Dream Machines show. What an event! Vintage aircraft, warbirds, bikes, custom car...

At Last! A bike for us shortarses that seems to be mildly mechanically interesting. Not so sure about the 32deg. lean angle, tho'....

The joys of "Just In Time" supply logistics!.....

Before Our US mates leap into print, 98 octane in Oz is equivalent to 94 octane Premium in the US. Same juice, just a difference in the way the rating is expressed. (RON vs RON/MON average AKI) ...

Oz petrol prices have taken off! I paid A$2.20 /liter for 98 octane yesterday. My dodgy maths puts that at US$6.16/US gal.

Thinking I will put some brake fluid in Putin's vodka.....

Couldn't that have ended up badly! I was sure she was going to get her bike washed, involuntarily...
The sheer volume and quality of her video output just astounds me. There seems to be a plethora...

Geez, Dave! I don't recall you being invited to join the Bumpy Road Riders Club! I suppose we will have to give you Premium Access to the Rare Spares group now, as well...
Laffs aside, this is...

Thanks Randy! I can't unsee that now.......

It was all Zen, back then....

Someone got a great deal!

I wondered where you got to, Trev! I was hoping to catch up with you in Melbourne back in the day, but got a bit distracted by health and other issues.
You sure have covered a lot of our "wide,...

Wow! 49+C at a latitude of 50 degN defies comprehension. We get it pretty hot some places here in Oz, but I doubt our Lytton (near Brisbane, Queensland) would ever see 120 F, 49C and it's at 27...
