Bloody heck LB!! Looks good.

Bewdiful. post a review . i want one too.

Well Kingchops, you don’t need to worry about changing the forum. So far it’s a Honda’s Africa Twin, mileage as a big issue cause we don’t like pulling into pubs at every chance,  Kevinc’s great coment about adventure bikes needing to be modified, (hey cause we never do that with Harleys), suspension travel (not a real big Harley topic), mid range tourque, duh, Aust sales stats, a Honda Bagger option, then somehow James Brown, the Queen and that Camilla Parker Bowles bint. Somehow at the end, buying an Africa Twin to get away from it all seems to make sense.

Colours haven't changed much in 35 years...

A bloke I met was fucked over by Honda and nearly paralyzed from the first gen Africa twin.

The dodgy elbow doesn’t seem to be slowing you down any, Lofty :-)

Damn!! Well at least it’s the cold wet months ;-)

Yes I'm sorry about the whole James brown thing. I was looking for somewhere to post and LB's was the most recent thread.

 

GIVI Treckers like what I had on the Triumph, light and strong.

Stated super clearly in the manual re tyres. 

There must be a lawyer that will take Honda apart.

So do we have any idea if a tyre failure was the cause of the shock failure or the shock failed first causing the rear to collapse ?

He went down the legal channel and spent a whole heap of money, but in the end he needed a specific type of engineer to provide a report to the court that the tyre had absolutely nothing to do with the failure of the bike. Of the 8 or so that can do it across the country, none of them would touch as apparently they were on a retainer.

The family ended up finding the surgeons who did some crazy surgery so hes walking again and taking photos again.

Apparently the failure point was fixed on the next model/year.

Shame because he's a gun photographer and used to photograph adventure tours around Aus.
