    Looking at Gum tree now for another, non er Harley, but can only spend a couple a Grand off my next super withdrawal .. .. FUK how does that work by the way.. Work all your life, finish work a little early, and have to take super out every year just to live and ride. Good value - don"t think so?
    Anyway, aside of my bitching, what do you crew suggest, besides, taking a trip to Thailand and riding a honey and a 250 with ma 2 G"s?
    Open to suggestions and any ad hoc sales you gentlemen may have. New I shoulda kept the Fattie as a Runa round.

    Loaded up with 20 liters extra fuel and off to Birdsville and have a look at the water in Lake Eyre North,

    Then off to Farina as the Pop Up Bakery is only open for 8 weeks of the year. Have a great Long Weekend everyone.

    Everone is entitled to an opinion, and free speech, plus a right to question, in this lovely country of ours.
    You like Black I like Red... (Not really, I love Black). is our choice, thank god we live in Australia, (we don"t do the land of the free also, thank your god) 
    Remember this is a side, offshoot, dirt road, from our Harley Jazz, which we are here for, aye.
    Anyway, got pissed last night , bought another bike last night, Japaneesee thing, now gotta build another bloody shed to home the prick.. 
    Quote on shed is more than motorcycle, with me building, bloody councils approval.

    I bought this Yamaha X-Max 300 earlier this year for my place in Thailand, great bike and goes well..................................I bought it on a Friday, one week later I got back home from a roadtrip through Northern Thailand with mates and put 2000km on it.  I also have a Honda PCX 150 I bought new in 2014 in Thailand, very reliable bike and its got 11 000km on the speedo now.

    I'm a Scooter Guy also, had a Scooter since '85, they are as handy as a pocket in a shirt, had me a Yamaha Cygnus 180, it was one year old and I paid $1200 and it had done 1500 kays, rode it for about 4 years, did about 25,000 trouble free kays and I thought to myself that if I ever see another good one for sale I'd grab it, sure enough that weekend in the Trading Post there was another the same as the one I already had, except it was $1500 and it had 1200 kays on the clock, now I had two, rode the both of these for the next 10 years or so, found another one which was a different colour, so I grabbed it also, meanwhile I've always had a Harley of some sorts parked next to the Scooters, but If anything needed doing around town, the Scooters are the go,

    I'm into Scooters and Shovels, can't get enough of either,

    I like Scooters so much in '06 I bought a new Suzuki Burgman 650, so far 90,000 trouble free kays,

    Dont have any pics of my little Scooters,  my aim is to one day get a BSA Sunbeam / Triumph Tigress, a Harley Topper and a German Heinkel Tourist, plus lots of others,  I fucking love Scooters,

    Here's a Brochure of my little Yamaha, (it's a US brochure, slightly different), gorgeous, just absolutely gorgeous,


    Here's my Burgman, good for 160 kph two up,



    What I'd like to have one day, Harley Topper,

    I believe BSA bought out Sunbeam back in the '40's, but from 1959-64 they made the BSA Sunbeam Scooter, it also had a twin sister called the Triumph Tigress, same bike,different names, you could get them as 175 two strokes or a four stroke 250 twin, electric start was an option on the 250 twin, the Triumphs are much rarer than the BSA's, I've seen a few Sunbeams for sale over the years, but never a Tigress,

    Great to here someone else like scooters Liberator, the 650 Burgman are a huge scooter, they are very expensive in Thailand.

    You would appreciate this classic I saw in Bangkok a few years ago.....................

    Wow, what a great collection of Scooters, regarding that blue and white one, your not going to believe this, but I've got one of those, mines a '59 model, they are a Czech Scooter called a Cezeta, mines red and white, but I don't have the Pav trailer, even those trailers are plenty cool,

    Yeah its a great looking scooter, imagine in the late fifties it would be the Rolls Royce of Scooters.
    I have alot more pics of scooters, dont think here is the place to post as it is intended for "your other bikes"
