    I've got a Uni reunion lunch in Brissy at midday, so if I get there it will only be first thing in the am.... so I'll probably miss catching up with you all :(
    Hey Mick, how's Shell doing? Is she all healed? Is she test riding with Jilli?

    I thought it read if you bang up the bike GC harley take care of the bike bills, but you waive any personall injury claim and you have to pay your own medical bills if you get hurt.
    At least thats how I though it was last time I rode one.
    I could be wrong though, it wouldn't be the first time.
    Hi Sportytrace, Shelley is doing very well, I have renamed her SuperShelley as she is now twice as blonde.
    She was very lucky and she knows it!
    Her scrapes and bruises are healing well, Shelley does Yoga excercises regular with lots of stretching and takes lots of vitamins minerals, silica etc.
    I think this has been in her favour and helped her heal very fast.

    Someone once told me that there is 2 things you never lend your mates and that is your bike and your missus cause they both come back fu**ed!

    I am pretty sure you cop the excess and as RT said you can bet it would be hefty

    Hey Dave yours was the best looking bike there.
    I know what ya mean about the electaglide, the windscreeen is the wrong height or something but what a nice bike to ride.
    I was gunna take the ultra out as well but decided their wasn't much point as their wouldn't be that much difference.
    The road kings a nice bike too I had a ball on it.
    The guy leading the ride got the Ultra's front wheel off the ground at the lights. was pretty funny, we had to stop and wait for all the other riders to catch up and I was going slow, Honest!!!!!!

    Hey GB.
    You will have to come on a ride with the SE QLD HD forums crew sometime they are a lot of fun?
    Hopefully Jilli and Shelley will both have bikes by then.

    When is the next one?

    Yet to have a ride with everyone.

    Our lead rider was flatout doing 70k's.

    No corners that you could take at speed to try out the handling.

    Bit of a poor trying session i thought. But thats me.

    Hey Philthy what did you think of the XR1200???

    Noisey down and no guts there as well. Came to life a bit too high in the rev range.

    The front felt a bit loose but the brakes were fantastic! Was able to lock them up quite easily with good feel to them.

    Was not able to try the cornering out on it with the roads taken on the test ride, has the potential though and seemed to have a better set of tyres.

    Seating position was a little back on the feet and I know why they put that bar around the rear head as that was what my knee was leaning on.

    Could do with a slightly bigger tank that would keep your leg away from it and make your legs feel in a better position.

    As for the passenger, don't think Mandy would climb on as the pegs looked up a bit too much for her.

    Would I buy one? No. The finish on the bike was a bit poor and thought they could've done a better job of it.
