Boots on the way - no rush as cyclone offshore…bit of a damper on riding
already blowy bands coming through Cairns
It’s blowing a bit now on the deck but the Cat 2 is well out to sea at this point - we are just in the outer bands
not likely to lose power but possible as the damn thing is...
Mostly unknown here - very popular in Europe. Fireblade motor tuned for torque.

Scored some barely worn Alpinestars for $70 plus some shipping. Much better on the Burgman than the tall Gaerne Trials and cooler. Given up trying to find mesh pants here. Stick with good knee armour and tactical jeans. They dry fast enough and Burgman is protective to a point compared to KLR...
Yeah staff in Sauga was crowing about sunshine.
Went out to the Bowls Club up the street last night with our family gang ...very busy - nice to see full tables and people enjoying themselves sans masks.
When you swipe the membership card it location traces you. Very convenient.
My Bluetooth...
You always need the correct tips for your ears. With a thin balaclava on can't see how they could possibly "fall out."
Happiness,,,,,got my 215 BT headphones - finally riding with books and music and directions - easy fit under helmet ...easy pairing with the phone.
thanks - all dry from the drenching yesterday ...tropical sun really effective - cept the boots...I'll live.
Yow ....too hot... Nice ride down ( 100k or so each way ). No cassowaries but girl said there are 3 about which is good. No food or coffee ...closed Mon & Tuesday. :rolleyes: Yummy ice...
Wow did I get wet ....blue sky all around but not on top of me --- got down the range road mostly then it bucketed down the last 10 km and then of course the sun came out 🥴 been a while since I've been that wet...to the motoskivvies and beyond.
There goes the budget for boots :cry...
glorious morning. Hi Ho. off to Skybury I go. Welcome to Skybury
waaaah 14 over radar ticket $266!!!! expensive coffee run
sooth my wounded wallet with a feed of paw paw grown on the Skybury estate
papaya ..yum ...so tasty
Managed to get in a couple hundred k between rain showers.
Tho two of my fav places were closed
scored a burger in Palm Cove -
dog is just now polishing off the remains of the fries. Lots of people out - Palm Cove is jammed often and mcycle useful for finding a park.
Did not dodge the...
Certainly prices have jumped under new management but lunches $10 and seniors meals $12 is just fine.
For those from Canada ...prices are always all in and no tipping so if it says $12 that's what you pay out of pocket. Aus dollar worth a bit less than Cdn.
The kangaroo steak was $24.50 and just...
He told me and I didn't recognise the marque so makes sense. He was happy got about $4k off new and something like 1300 km plus a ton of farkles. Since he retired as a pilot he's been loading up on toys....now I've added the Burgman 650 to his care stable.
He's just tarting up his 2008 KLR for...
The Shures fit well as long as you rotate them to the proper orientation ...a thin balaclava makes on an off easy.
I have a pair of Pioneer Rayz that are noise cancelling but they do not get the seal that the 215s with proper tips do.
Happy to see BT version of the 215s tht functions with the...
You got snow ??
We got the monsoon - think hours and hours of rain like you’ve never seen
Trying my patience but windscreen almost here, oil filters arriving and mechanic wending his way back from Canberra on his new toy. Likely damp as he gets closer

A number of riders including me use the wired Shure 215s so I know it fits and sounds decent
Just ordered a pair of the BT version - The bonus is it's the same ear piece so all the existing cables and tips we have are adaptable / interchangeable. For $149 I get the earphones I want with BT...
I pulled that off from St Kitts to Fort Erie on a snowstorm day they closed the QEW ....was riding the 305 Superhawk all winter anyways and slid and slithered the back roads for a couple of chilly hours....fell a few times.
I did however have my licence and no cop showed.
