Title: 2 wheel temporary Australians
Post by: lino6 on Sep 13, 2015, 05:51:34 PM
With the great couple of days here over the weekend I took the opportunity to get the Honda out of the shed and go for a ride. OK it was only about 35km, but its a start! So who else has a motorbike and what do you have?

I have a Honda 94mdl CBR1000. I would be lucky to do 200km a year on it, love to go for a ride.

Honda ST1300 for last few years, ST1100 before that......

Bike not used as a daily rider, used for Touring and LD riding.


Latest acquisition to the bike is an Elite camper.....a little more cumbersome when touring and doesn't go often, but saves heaps on accommodation when we do take it   :cup:

Suzuki V-Strom DL1000A here - set up with top-box, panniers, etc. Usually go touring a couple of times a year, and pretty regular day trips just zooming around the countryside :)

The bike tends to get used a lot over the warmer months, the 4WD more over the cooler months.

Do motor scooters count?  My wife and I, being latte drinking yuppies, ride Vespas.  After all what would you expect living in Sydney's eastern suburbs.  We have an image to maintain.  I have a Vespa GT200 and my wife rides a Vespa 300.  Both automatics.  We ride our scooters most days though my wife does a lot more k's on hers than I do and she's happy to ride in the rain.  Me, I'm a fair weather rider thank you.  We got the Vespas mainly to ride to the beach, shopping etc.  A whole lot easier than driving a motor vehicle around Sydney's eastern suburbs.  And besides you have to pay to park the car at most locations around the beaches whereas there are ample free motor cycle parking areas.  My wife only got her motor cycle license at 60.  She's now 65 and I can't get her off her scooter.
