    A Strong Back: The Adventures of Tom Mc Sherry

    Bliksem Tom. Die thread van jou het my ’n paar laat nagte besig gehou. Dit lees soos ‘n spanningsverhaal, gaan Tom ‘n kontrak kry, gaan sy rug hou, gaan hy die girl kry? Soveel deursettingsvermoë, hardwerkendheid, werksetiek en omgee vir ander verdien net hope respek. Staan sterk en ek glo almal...

    Quad bike ban.

    Not according to Burpie, he doesn’t.

    Quad bike ban.

    Seems Burpie has all the facts on Australia on the tips of his fingers, he is probably your goto guy on Australian law, regulations, folklore, etc.

    Quad bike ban.

    You can set up your own charcoal braai right next to the fixed gas bbq, like I have done numerous times. And nobody calls those gas contraptions braais, just Burpie in his ignorance.

    Quad bike ban.

    I have a policy not to argue with idiots, so yip, Australia is a shit hole. Burpie posted a  2018 DRAFT and like the idiot press he took it as fact and out of context, see final regulations here: https://epa.tas.gov.au/Documents/Factsheet%20-%20Rules%20for%20Backyard%20Burning%20June%202019.pdf

    Quad bike ban.

    Die kakprater has probably  tried to emigrate to Aus and was rejected or  he is totally  clueless. It can only be the reason anybody can produce that vitriolic garbage. Every life in Aus is valuable and if a high percentage of people gets harmed by a certain activity, it gets looked at. I have...

    All frame fitted. All R&D done by manufacturer, not by owners I suspect.

    Yamaha T7 - No longer a Concept

    Attended the first reveal of the Tenere 700 in Australia today. It’s a really good looking bike and the pricing in Australia is very competitive.

    Noneking's 790R thread

    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder but the non-R 790 is dog-ugly. It looks like a  grossly obese worshond. Popped into the local dealer to book a service for my 1090 and they have 790 demo on the floor. Nonekin’s pics of the 790R looks good and hopefully it won’t disappoint in the flesh.

    Life in New Zealand - The move has been made...

    So according to you the waiting policeman cancels out the murder of an innocent  lady. Makes total sense to me.🙄🙄🙄 Hijack off. Silvrav we moved to Aus 5 yrs ago, best decision I’ve ever made. It is incredible how quickly you start enjoying life without being concerned about  personal safety...

    Life in ..... WTF moments

    Took my son to our local council office to renew his driver’s licence 3 o’clock on a Friday afternoon. Lo and behold, there is one bloke in the queue in front of us. As we get to the desk, the friendly lady make small talk about the weather, fishing conditions etc. while efficiently attending to...

    Front Brake switch Error

    Same problem, just gets a constant eror message. Bike still under warranty so I will get it sorted when it goes for 10 000km service.

    An Interesting & Seemingly Objective "Argument" - CRF1000 vs 1090 Adv

    Compared to my XT660Z Tenere the 1090R is supremely comfortable. I recently did a 1000 km round trip to Carnavon Gorge in 2 days, moving average 96km/h and just fuel stops. It might not sound like much but consider Aussie speed limits and the fact that I had a heart transplant in July 2016. No...
