saw these on my recent tour, North Vic. The Bentley sounded like 4 Harley Davidsons without an exhaust. I want one. And as my friends will testify, it often happens. Rumps

yeah it was a magic moment when I spotted it. Definitely an RD350 as pointed out by a member. But only 8000km on the clock!!!!! So sweet when he kicked it over and she buzzed into life. I believe they were good in original condition for 100mph.

Na, I like the FZ1 with the factory panniers. How many moto gps has a Triumph won lately? Is a 3 cylinder bike as smooth as a 4? What is the resale on the Trumpet after a couple of years? Na. Na. Na. It aint a Yamaha. Yamaha is reliable, we all can atest to that. I have looked at these and...

too fast and a big hump in a school. my setting is middle on the shocky.

I thought it was a great restoration, but his wife said he bought it new and it has sat in a shed. Now retired he wanted to ride it so she made him get his Ls. I wonder what it is worth. they were real fast and I think the race version won a few grand prixs. Kenny Roberts? Very collectable.

saw this last weekend at the historic Steiglitz courthouse. old bloke has had it since new and it has done 8,000km. his wife has made him get his L plates. saw him kick it over, second kick it fired and he left a nice blue haze as he rode home. These 350s were quick, and I love the colour.

on a speed hump today, must have been the exhaust doing 2 km. anyone else have it happen?

I can't advise on that. There are parts of the road that are good, Geelong to Anglesea and Anglesea to Lorne. Lorne to Apollo Bay is dangerous and I was letting cars go past me as they could travel faster. Beyond Apollo Bay to port Campbell I don't know. The rain events we have had are the...

yeah, the 3 second rule. and how about going in to the corner slower than you come out. Brake before the corner, throttle on coming out. That is why my mate hit a cliff and sign, by going too fast in to the corner. Rumps

Had a mad pilot that flew me around the North Queensland Islands and communities for 10 years when I was a circuit judge some time ago. He had a philosphy about flying, plan every flight. I have taken that same plan into my bike riding. Wear all the gear. Look at the BOM website. Maintain my...

Just been to see the man who is eating his food through a straw. Well on the way to recovery. There are no wire rope barriers on the Ocean Road. Stay safe people, been too many accidents published on this site lately. Maintain your machines and ride to the conditions and your limitations. Rumps

I posted a similar thread to this a while back, and if i remember correctly, somene told us that Caltex premium & Mobil premium are the same fuel??? FRom Wolfman Mobil is owned by Esso (Exxon) and their oil comes from Bass Strait. Depending on when it was processed, I can tell you what...

MOBIL Premium Unleaded A 98 RON octane rating premium fuel manufactured to meet Australian Fuel Quality Standards. Is this what you guys are trying? I might swap from the 95 and see if there is a difference myself. Rumps
