Last weekend, I took my Harley to a sidecar meeting organized by friends of mine in Austria. This was my first time as a passenger in a sidecar (BMW GS).

Wow!!! I know I have never seen that many side hacks in my life. To see them all in the same place is so cool!

Steve,
I was amazed too because not one is like the other. Really cool.

At the local BMW dealer and came upon this, the Norton is mine and the 1975 Goldwing all original, mostly.

Yesterday in the Alps with my winter bike (no salt for my CB750). Motorcycle Nirvana. I just love it there!

Like father like daughter Sgt. Tell her to be safe out there.

Sgt.Pinback · « **Reply #561 on:** November 08, 2015, 08:06:04 am »

Correct. She will do her motor cycle licence next year and loves to have a CB400.
As I did in 1978

An awesome weekend in the Alps and Dolomites. The high passes (over 8,000 feet) were kept open last weekend due to the unusual warm weather. Incredible.

Not just the weather was really good...

Weather was really nice today. So I spend some time on the Wang

Well I'm back in Melbourne for the weekend, but on Thursday evening I hopped on my BMW R1100GS and rode over to my storage locker to visit my 1994 Harley Sportster. My Sporty's only done 6960 Km's (4350 miles) in it's 21 years, so it's like a new bike.

I live in Melbourne (well, only on the weekends now) and I work in Canberra (I stay in a hotel apartment) so I'd bought the Harley to ride around Canberra, but the bike dealer in Melbourne thought I was a Canberra resident, so he cancelled the Victorian registration without consulting me first, and I received an unregistered bike.

Sadly I can't get it registered in Canberra because I'm not a resident, so it'll stay locked in the storage locker until I go on Christmas vacation, when I'll take it back to Melbourne to get it registered. That's OK, I'm having a ball on the big black "Boomer" I bought in Melbourne a couple of weeks ago and towed back to Canberra, so I'm not as pissed off about the Sporty situation.

I will buy a set of Wilbers rear shocks like the ones on Wobbly's bike, or perhaps some Aussie made "Ikons", as even just riding the Sporty around the Storage King compound shows up the OEM Showa shock's deficiencies, due to their short stroke. One day, we will ride................ Cheers, Terry.

On my Vstrom, Interstate 5 as it crosses over the Sacramento river, on my to wife's hospital, they serve Thanksgiving dinner. Someone has to take care of the sick.

G'Day Dwight, no mate, it's a 1994 XLH 1200. Cheers, Terry.

Out on the GL1000 again today.

I really like the original Goldwings, big old car engine. I used to own a 78 GL100.

Thanks Mark. Yeah you either love them or hate them. Got to be the naked ones though. It is smooth, quite, and comfortable. And for a big boy it will get on down the road to. I like the 78 and 79 GW also. Completely different look and styling but still not bad looking bikes IMO.

Terry in Australia · « **Reply #571 on:** November 30, 2015, 02:36:50 am »

C'mon Dwight, you haven't had a 'Wang until you've had a big black 'Wang.............

dhall57 · « **Reply #572 on:** November 30, 2015, 03:44:26 am »

Terry, your loaded Wang is the exception of course;) I bet you can be running down the road at 80 and be reading the sport section in the newspaper at the same time

Did you add that stand or was already installed by PO.

rtbmrgl · « **Reply #573 on:** November 30, 2015, 08:26:44 pm »

If its a GL100 its got to be Naked,. Terry what kind of a center stand, Electric?

Terry in Australia · « **Reply #574 on:** November 30, 2015, 11:07:25 pm »

Ha ha, thanks guys, it is a comfy ride if you want to do 500(+) mile days, and if you're riding in the rain, you won't get wet unless you need to stop, the raindrops go right over your head, it's kind of freaky to watch as you're riding along. It's a winter time bike though, too hot behind that fairing in summer.

The stand is an after-market "ride off" stand. It's really handy but it won't allow me to fit the crash bars I bought for it, and the legs of the stand reduce cornering clearances markedly, so quite scray in the twisties. Problem is, the OEM stand needs to be fixed, which involves stripping the engine out of the frame, so I'm in no hurry to do it.

For a bike that looks so ungainly and heavy, it absolutely flies, I've seen 120 MPH on the speedo many times (It's a US import, so no gay Kilometers, not that there's anything wrong with that.............) and the engine is turbine smooth, apart from my BMW K100RS, I can't think of another bike I've got that's so smooth. Cheers, Terry.
