    2026 Olympics opening ceremonies

    One of our better human endeavors. Missed the very beginning. At least I get a no commercials feed. The stadium singing parts of Nessum Dorma was terrific. Andrea Boceli can still mesmerize. Really liked the failed mike segment and a heartfelt appeal for peace from Charlize Theron...gorgeous as...

    Riding Down Under - Tropical Cairns Australia

    Ouch ....not a good start for Marc🍿 Caught up on sleep with 10 hours :oops: Not eating much but also not dropping weight...sitting at 106. Couple of good days coming for riding and with a new chain less worry.

    MacDoc's rides 2015 CB300 to 2018 MT03 to 2017 GS310 to 2014 CB500F.

    I'm baaaack :rolleyes: Unexpected possible on a sale for the CB500F - good candidate and there is nothing else on the market at the moment that fits his wants. Does light mechanic work so knowledgeable, wants a commuter to run between Mareeba and Cairns 70 km most highway with lovely twists down...

    My 14" iMac Pro Screen. https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2021/10/apple-unveils-game-changing-macbook-pro/ Lying here wallowing in images that just are amazing. You get a high end demo and :eek: Even my own photos, some of which are HDR are jaw dropping.

    Looking for Wingmen

    This is from Shad and no reason it will not attach to any top case. We found it incredibly useful for carrying odd shaped stuff but mostly for drying clothes. Some times washing the technical shirts they were not quite dry ....just strap them on this for a hour in the sun and perfectly dry. Top...

    Looking for Wingmen

    All of the comfy bikes have wide seats so what looks like a low seat height sometimes is not. I felt that way when I test rode a BMW 1150. Lots to love but damn that tank was wide. For your extended tour you might consider an RDL in your budget for whatever you buy. Anything with big touring...

    Looking for Wingmen

    BTW the ST1300 is a fair bit lighter than the Wings. Circa 700 lb before luggage. That's okay.

    Looking for Wingmen

    ST1100 is sooooo hot and the factory bags suck. Not the ST1300?? I suspect hard to get hard cases for the ST1100. It's not the most elegant system. Some nice farkles too...

    Looking for Wingmen

    I'm short too - 30" inseam so I hear you. Can't say from personal trying but the Wing has low seating BTW OP are you looking new or used? The ST1300 might be a contender. The ST1100 I owned certainly had the most quiet ride at 150 kph - this bubble of still air. Useless panniers and top case...

    Looking for Wingmen

    I enjoyed my two CBF1000s but I'd never recommend for your use. The range is too small and it sucks gas. The windscreen is too narrow so you don't get the weather protection for long rides....too few farkles available in North America. Liked it would strip down to almost a sport bike and sooo...

    Clever munchkins :sneaky: Wordle 1689 > Well they warned us about repeats .... CIGAR was the solution to Wordle 0001 Once I realized that, the solution was obvious given the timing of the warning. Likely a bit of flutter in the henhouse ..... Post prandial viewing of three episodes of The...

    Looking for Wingmen

    It's the ultimate touring bike. Not adventure touring but a bike to tour long distances in comfort and luxury. A pair pulled up to the Shed and parked facing me while I was seated on one of the low chairs. They were all decked out in additional lighting and I got the distinct impression The...
