I am indeed in Sydney. Have bought the bike and will be heading out to explore Australia for a few months on Monday. Definitely a good way to get through the Scottish winter ...

Quick shakedown run today for my other GS.😁 Seems to be OK (Six speeds! Modes!), heading out to explore this country on Monday. Only SA connection is that Mrs 3D likes the passenger footpegs I bought from Flying Brick so much I had to bring 'em with me.

Well don't forget, yer a long time dead and there's no pockets in a shroud. I'd also like to do the 'Stans', but the time of year that it's best to visit we're working. The hamlet is Ardmair, and I think all the houses are now holiday rentals.

Sorry to hear that, but how's the bike?😁

Bah, I can see the riding season's end here already. What a crap summer. Good job I got in plenty of riding in South America early in the year, and will have some time in Australia soon while visiting my elder daughter to do some more there. Anyway, a couple of pics, not necessarily exactly...

Thanks for the info.(y)

I like the look of the Leatt DriTour suit, but as there is no dealer near me I can't easily check if the pants are wide enough to go over a pair of motocross boots, specifically my very chunky Leatt 5.5 Flexlocks. Anyone got this suit or the similar FlowTour?

Change the oil, put the battery on a tender like a C-Tek, few psi extra in the tyres should do it. Turn the engine over by hand occasionally, don't start it. I only drain the fuels on carbs, injection should be fine.

You'd think that most truckers have their GPS set to shortest time/quickest route, no way would that take you over the pass.

Moron drivers. We've had two forty tonners stuck at the bottom of our single track lane - from a truck cab at the top you can even see it goes nowhere.

I never liked the way the padding in my jacket and strides moved around, so I bought a stretch mesh vest with it built in and separate knee pads (all Forcefield CE2). So much more comfortable. Knacking my my ankle three times dropping the bike on my leg led me to a pair of Leatt 5.5 Flexlock...

It was the 'hallelujah' thing....:sneaky:

Yeah, that might be a test- throw yourself on your knees with and without pads and see which feels better.

I don't think the 1100GS has a finite lifespan of looked after properly.;)

DIN unladen weight lbs. 500 483 F 900 GS 542 F 900 GSA So the GSA weighs about the same as my 1997 1100?

+2.

Rode my long suffering 1100GS through endless banana plantations to the Caribbean sea today in Colombia. Lawks, it's hot and humid. Tolu, where we're staying is mad, like the border town of Tunduma in Zambia is mad, but the beach is peaceful.

Spotted at our lodge in Colombia this morning on the ablutions block. I know that face!

State of emergency and curfews. We got out just in time. Narco gang trouble, took over a TV station broadcasting live, held guns to presenter's heads, bombs going off. A major narco kingpin has escaped jail. BBC News - Streets empty as Ecuador reels from violence...

In Popayan, Colombia. Looks like we got out of Ecuador just in time!
