    Riding Down Under - Tropical Cairns Australia

    Up at Kuranda. Almost lost my tpms. Came off the Velcro just as I parked. Have to think of another way. Helmet was good but like to track down the whistle when visor opens. Sold three items on FB today so refreshed my skimpy funds by a bit and reduced clutter. Got less than I wanted for the...

    Hello Everybody

    Welcome. Had an MT-03 here briefly and while not quite same as yours but I was comfortable with it. Enjoy Ontario for a bit then head down to PA and you are in riding heaven. Go with someone. It's only 5 hours away.

    Enjoying this and learning a lot. I'm really glad Wallace - the co-developer of the Theory of Evolution is getting his due. This covers the Wallace Line. Perhaps the best science book I've ever read is The Song of the Dodo where David Quannam journeys the Wallace Line and retraces Wallace's...

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    That's why government is NOT a business. Common weal gets lost in chasing fat quarterly earnings. Nation building requires concerted effort over time...not cherry picking the low hanging profits. Democracy not so good at "concerted efforts".

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    Pulled the Airhawk off and trying with just the padded shorts. Had to pull the seat and found one of the main bolts for the seat was out completely. Sorted. Tire pressure was lowish so topped that off to correct and did partners car. I could have sworn I ordered another TPMS but cannot find. I...

    Aching Shoulders

    Actually was aimed at OP. I can't get it here in Aus for reasons unknown tho I have a lot I brought from Canada ....Shoppers Drugmart knock off. Might try a pill now after minor servicing on the CB500 involving too much bending.

    Have you tried Robaxin ...I know it does not address the underlying problem but may relieve the symptoms - contains methocarbamol. I find it works very quickly. Over the counter too.

    Riding Down Under - Tropical Cairns Australia

    Gray and windy ....pretty good sleep. Reasonable temps at night and now at 7 am. Maybe a Sunday roast ride to Jullaten tho may be too far back to back. Want to sort my seating. Take the Airhawk off for the moment and just ride with the padded riding shorts. Also need to check my air...

    Riding Down Under - Tropical Cairns Australia

    Finally got out for a ride. New helmet is okay but missing the flip up for drinking etc, Might sell it for some coin. It's a $300+ helmet. Sure is comfy and on and off no issue but miss drinking from the squeeze bottle in the cup holder. Wonder if I can sort a tube. Rev'it gloves were okay but...

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    Yet you ignore the biggest elephant in the room fossil fuel subsidies. :rolleyes: $2.25 each to lure 20 touring EV bikers to your accommodation and in most cases your eatery as well?? Chump change. :sneaky: International touring bikers are a rounding error on motorcycle sales. Don't project...

    How do you think Marc coped for 60,000 km in far wilder places than Northern Ontario? Watch the channel and see. ANYWHERE there is an electrical outlet he can get fuel. It might take longer but he usually charged while he slept and for free. You take edge cases like the Trans-Lab and try to...
