Relaxed is controlled I reckon.

See that Braaap Motorcycles have gone into receivership, interestingly  a few months ago a private equity firm sent me a prospectus on Braaap. The founder/owner is a "colorful character "who has been previously convicted of fraud and involved in motorcycle rebirthing..all this on the back of being voted Young Australian of the year. Creditors are owed over $1m. 

And along the way he picked up Young Australian Entreprenuer of the year. Seeing that entrepreneur once meant the manager or promoter of a theatrical production, I'm sure the show will go on. He'll be back in some dodgy business or other long before his customers forget about the money they lost on undelivered paid for orders.

Just out poking around, running back roads out of Cooyar, after spending an hour or so sitting in a big shed having a yarn with my frame making mate. Went west to the Bunya Mts, coming back east cut across to Mt Binga, another dirt back road I've never ridden before.

Bit envious to be honest 

No need to be, they're pretty easy to get although they have held their value surprisingly well. Asking and getting being 2 different things of course.

😂👍

The real thing to be envious of is that from Mt Binga north to Blackbutt is undulating good condition bitumen full of curves with 80 kph advisory speed signs. You don't have to do that of course.

I got a few bikes but this is my newest.ugly but absolutely best bike I've ridden for ease of riding and performance .KTM 1290 superduke R.aka the beast

"The beast" is right !

Being ugly myself i dont dont buy things because they look pretty....its everyone else who has to look at it when you ride, not yourself.

Yeh looks pretty good from the riding position.puts a smile on ya dial that's for sure

Its up there for being a ultimate wheelie machine

Now this one isn't mine, saw it in Caboolture today, but it's the only one of these I've seen that I think looks good. And all the owners done is an elegant bob job on the back mudguard, put on fat T bars, small indicators and slipon mufflers. Looks much better.

This one is mine but it can be yours if'n you want to buy it (1974 TX650) ...
