    Half your Luck.
    Pretty sure there is a Gin Gin in QLD too.
    Those CVO's sure are big.

    Maybe in Qld ?, not sure on that, 68k on the road, big beast.

    Yep, Gin Gin is just up the road from Bundaberg, and childers. Excellent bakery if you are travelling through.

    Wow!, that is a lot of money for a new motorcycle.
    On the other hand it is chicken feed compared to the prices some Knuckleheads are selling for lately.

    Its a lot of bike though. My 2012 Street Glide owes about 49/50k with all the std bits you have to replace with quality parts.

    $68,000 bike and 400 kilos means that it is $170 per kilo.
    If you were a smoker and liked to roll your own (tobacco) and you fancied breathing in the delicious toxins of say Drum blue at $112.95 for a 50 gram pouch. That works out to $2,259 per kilo, or $903,600 for 400 kilos.
    That makes the CVO look like a good deal.
    Not many other things do.

    Ha! there you go.
    In 1989 I bought a 2 bedroom house on 5 acres for $67000.
    The local folk looked at me grimly and said I paid too much for it.
    Still here at the same place.

    Ha Ha for me a better comparison would be corona beer....that 34,723 bottles and at a 6 pack per night thats 5,787 nights or 826 weeks or 15 yrs.
    So whatever the problem is....Corona is the answer!

    When me and wifey were touring round U.S a couple of years ago, Corona was the beer of choice. Those Americans sure make some shit beer.
    American folk seemed horrified we were drinking the Mexican piss.

    Last time i was in Mexico we were drinking it in 2litre mugs with crushed ice and lemon around the rim to keep the fly's away, a couple of them at lunch in 42 degree heat ....well a snooze wasn't far away!
