Cheers, thanks for the community.

I agree, start small (0.75 - 1.25gm) even 0.5gm can be fun and not overwhelming, more like a subtle shift that is cool but not too demanding. If you are going over a gram have someone you are super comfortable with to help you deal with situations. Beaches and forrests are cool, stay away from drunk people.

Have fun.

61% of Australians don't realise that our Navy will have no meaningful impact.

Would be better of banning exports of coal and iron ore to China, but that would hurt the megga proffits of our mining magnates and we can't have that.

iKon shocks are great arent they. Had them on my Kwaka, went with Hagon (UK) shocks with a classic shroud for my Trumpy. They also make a good shock.

Anyway well done, nice looking bike. Be great for taking to a cancer fundraiser ride we have called "The distinguished gentleman's ride" https://www.gentlemansride.com/

15k seems ok for something like this, would definitely buy one if the start sending them to Australia 🇦🇺

So friggin cool. Modern bits but looks 100yrs old. I want one, but may not be able to afford one. What does something like this cost?

Well with so many people living in their cars I reckon a family of four would sleep comfortably.

Unfortunately they seem to be mainly owned by arrogant wankers.

The education should be "everyone and everything on the road is trying to kill you. I think jaywalking rules may be an american thing. But simply Cars are more noticeable visibly and audibly, pedestrians can stop and change direction orders of magnitude faster than cars. Do I think built up urban areas should discourage car use? Yes

I didn't think I needed a relationship to join a conversation.

Also South East Asia - bucket of water with a plastic cup next to the hole in the floor. I don't have a problem dribbling water down my buttcrack with my right hand while scrubbing my clacker valve with my left han, but squatting over a hole in thefloor is hell on the knees when you are nearly 2m tall.

Actually looks more like "Get in mah belly" Yummo.

Perhaps they are just talking to pedestrians and cyclists that are in a world of their own? Not everything to do with the copers has to do with fines.

The number of pedestrians I see crossing roads with their heads glued to their phones, cyclists at night with no lights or cruising through red lights, groups riding 4 abreast on narrow, winding and hilly 100kmh roads (just a few examples) is astonishing.

Like it or not vehicles will always exist and it is up to everyone to play their part in not being a danger to anyone else or themselves.

Yes there are a lot of reckless, careless, distracted or entitled drivers but there are also pedestrians and cyclists that fit squarely in one or more of those categories.

I say this as someone who has been severely injured on my bicycle as the result of a hit and run, but also continues to ride. I also ride motorcycles and drive over 1000km per week for work for over 40 years, avoiding idiots multiple times a day, be they driving, walking or riding.

Perhaps we all need to be more spatially aware, courteous and in less of a hurry with more sense of self preservation, regardless of our mode of transport.

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk. ✌️

We are all cute in this blessed place.

(Yeah they are pretty cute)

Ah, power, the great corrupter.

Nice. Never tried broke boi. I am time poor so the convenience of "sterilise, stab and forget" is what I like. Experimenting with Aldi "brown rice and chia" and "brown rice with ancient grains" bags. Could get wild. :)
