Strange flick...I did hang in. It's all 3 LOtR today. 📽️

🎅 xmas day down under ...shrimp on the barbie time.....tomorrow tho for boxing day lunch. Today it's a binge of LoTR extended version. Partner has a nice bit of salmon for her and I have 1/2 pork chop to fry up avec apple sauce. Need to boil some patates too. We celebrate Solstice as all good...

Trying this late xmas eve - I like Dinklage 🍿

I just bought a pair..they have no right sounding as good as they do. Instructions suck but pretty straight forward to set up ....both my Mac and my iPhone paired easily. Not sure there is enough volume for riding butt maybe I will have an xmas day ride tomorrow .,,,,will be quiet on the roads.

Sunday ....you had the correct bike....that ST1100 puts out enough heat to warm a room right quick. Also the touring windscreen is the quietest I've ever been behind. Wrong bike for the tropics but terrific for Ontario in chilly weather. It never met a fuel stop it didn't want to visit tho. Sold...

Not used to running a/c all night but UPDATED 1:40AM AEST 25.2 FEELS LIKE 30.0°C Not conducive to sleep Marc doing long miles on a small bike. Still impressed with the KTM390

too bloody hot on the deck at midnight ....I'm sweating even with fans running. 26.3 FEELS LIKE 31.7°C !!!! Hot and humid - workmen fixing our termite damage even found it uncomfortable and they are born here. 31.8° FEELS LIKE 37.7°C yup Mark clocking big KM Last shop before the 25th...

Merrie Solstice and a Happy New Year From Down Under ...I like my weather rather than cold and dreary Toronto. :sneaky:

Insane powerful pig in a straight line. Kid and I could not fathom a machine that hits 120 kph in first. Of course that was prior to EV bikes ...but still :rolleyes: The VFR800 was always the sweet spot.....the one that got away :cry:

Friend ( Aussie ) just returned from two weeks in the US and had no issue with border but likely not going back any time soon.

:eek: yikes that sucks. Thanks for edification. Buddy here finally sold his mint 2014 CB650F ( open class ) for $4k with 38k km he had to compete with an identical machine year model and colour ...race to the bottom - last time I checked other guy was down to $3500 - both way below market. Hard...

Yamaha did that when they introduced their breakthrough triples. Cleared out the FZ8 inline 4s for $6999 on a 14K MSR bike. We got the last one - my son loved it. The reviews were glowing. Waiting for slow dad at Parc Mauricie PQ ...fantastic road. :cry: miss the brat.

Sigh - the one bike I wanted to own and missed amongst many others I have had over 60 years of riding. Great choice - enjoy your retirement. Maybe do a cross Canada ride while your joints allow...I almost waited too long. You even have the correct colour :love:

So far peaceful with the pups except Maple, the older dog tried to be bowling ball up and down the hallway = leg breaker if we get hit. She already fractured one elderly lady's leg ....she's a solid ball of muscle at speed. :eek: Making my way through the Harry Potter books now. Looks like it...

Been a while since I've seen the original Matrix and then fired up second and realized not seen either of the sequels. Know what I'm doing for the next few hours. Really good 4k HDR transfer on the second one. First one too dark but watching in day time did not help tho was cloudy day.

Still bingeing Harry Potter ....Deathly Hollows 1 & 2 on a rainy and cool day. Finished but I cut it at the correct ending instead of the 19 years later nonsense. Started the books. Marc continues without Candi Ai assisted . No emoticons available Our new addition.....4 month old...

Tigers Between Empires A modern success story rescuing Siberian tigers from the brink of extinction. Very engaging and long ranging…a few heart stoppers too. The geo-political world then was better than now.

A case for knee armour...actually been thinking about it... Binging Harry Potter on a warm tropical night. 🪄 No riding today ...good weather for bingeing. Severe Tstrom warning and the rain is welcome. Cooler peak temp and Found out that Cairns is subject to severe dust and dander conditions...
