- Religion was outlawed at the turn of the 19th Century as we had outgrown it.

If you ever wonder why us Aussies are the way we are . . . go look up 'Great Emu war' Long story short, we lost, and our Emu overlords will never let us forget it.

You guys get ads on Netflix? Yep, USA, Land of the free . . . Australia "Like a fucking prison" I think someone said . . . .

NA or nothing. Mine was chassis number 300 :) It was the closest to a Lotus Elan (S1/2) that I could afford. Totally raw, simple and nothing extra - not even power steering. Perfectly balanced. Loved that machine.

Was Good Friday public holiday here in the antipodes, so I washed my Trumpets. Taking Red out for a run with friends tomorrow - first long ride since shoulder reconstruction 6 weeks ago. Next job on Green is to start polishing the engine cases . . . I want it to look 'clean' without going...

Here's an idea, how about you Americans stop complaining about fuel price? When I was there over Xmas, and adding the conversion rate (Today the USD/AUD is 1:0.65) - it works out to be 0.96/Litre Here are the prices today So yeah, even as an oil producing nation, we are getting totally fucked...

Yeah, Nahhh, fuck that - when I visited the USA over Xmas I had to follow some of those trucks between Alabama and Mississippi, and you bet your arse I noped out GIS for Noped Out

Aussie. And no, indicators were not mandated here until the 70s, so no, not required. but I’ll be adding some discrete ones anyway. bar-hopper is a name, not description. Mostly short, local rides… mostly what I do.

Nahh, the strap for the brake drum. all that’s coming out for a clean and freshen up before I get it back on the road.

My bony arse doesn't mind a little bit of bumping around - not like I'll be doing 300+ klms on this at a time... it's basically a bar hopper.

Sold my Rocket III Tourer and jsut picked this up. '65 T120 Bobber

You know, you could post a name……. For science

If I may say, . ..... UNF. There's never enough Cardellini.

Friday night was Triad night in our share house . . .

Bit fucking warm here on Central Coast, Australia today . . . Outside temp is currently 41.3'c (105'f?) Pool deck is 164.5'f . . . . . .

I have the weirdest boner . . ..

RIP Matt Perry - Dead at 42, drowning...

We have quite a few of those 'Kei class' trucks and cars here in Oz. When they get higher klms in Japan, the registration goes up, so they sell them at auction and ship them over here by the boatload. Great fun and bloody cheap . . Check out Mighty Car Mods on YouTube - Marty and Moog LOVE...

All good, I actually work in Cyber security for a central bank, and yeah, identity fraud is a serious issue, but here, license plates are not a gateway to that. They are tied to the VIN of the vehicle - easy to get, as well as the registration date / due date and insurer, but for anything else...

Reminder - Not in Australia it doesn't....well it does if you want to pay for a service, and it's NOT cheap....., but seriously, there is no difference to riding around and people writing the number down. Not every country has your data freely available to anyone that wants it.

Now that the Rocket iii is registered and become by daily ride, the 800 America is getting prepped for sale. It's getting a full repaint - Not sure if colour change yet, but will be simliar . . Considered Mazda sole red crystal, but at $500/litre decided against it :P Also getting some...

Nice ride Brother, Got my '07 Rocket iii registered on Friday, and over 250klm under the tyres yesterday giving it a shakedown run.

Yeah, don't bother.. Flerfs are immune to logic, evidence and facts..... It is so much easier to ignore them, they will eventually get bored, do something stupid then end up either proving the globe (Thanks Bob!) or pissing off those around them so much they divorce them (Looking at you CC In...

Felt the torque of a good EV? Full power from 0% 'throttle' Full power through the WHOLE range - any speed, any moment, twist and go . . Doesn't sound right though. I've got two bloody big noise pumps myself - Triumph America 800, and Rocket III 2300

GIS has failed me . . . . but

Well, he lives in Western Australia, so it's probably an ex-US Military member's car. Also: WA has some of the most lenient emissions laws in Australia, so . . .. . I"m assuming it's 'had some work'

Well, I drive a Golf GTi, and it's pretty quick, but the C4 (1989?) definitely moves . . . Unsure if it's tweaked or not.

Took it for a ride this morning, and the Rocket iii is now ready for registration - and it's a fucking beast! Better power to weight than my brothers C4 Corvette, and right up there with an Aventador . . (0.65hp/kg) Rocket iii Start, Test, and Ride - YouTube

Took my Rocket III for a ride today - wow, what a machine! A LOT of power . . . . about 140hp and 150 ft/lb torque . . . on a bike! Amazing.

Spectacular kitty, butterface.

How I bought it Forks and Triple tree were bent - frame is straight (ok, about 0.5' off dead straight at steering head, but that is within factory tolerance and probably not caused by the accident) Fitted new fork inners and had the triples straightened and all looking good geometry wise...

Rode my Bonneville America 800 to Sydney the other day though, weather was great - just a touch over 13'c (55f?) parked at work - opposite the Prime Minister's house.

Started stripping the Rocket III for repairs and after it's registration inspection, the mods can start... Air suspension and hand-made exhaust is first on the list to do . . . Getting front suspension and triple trees checked for cracks and issues tomorrow morning.

Shhhh, we don't tell the Yanks about Aussie burgers . . .
