We are not safe anywhere or any time, Christo - it just keeps getting worse!! Doesn't matter how minor a backroad I'm on these days, once I get into licence evaporation speeds I feel paranoid!! Why anyone in Oz would want to ride a 300kph missile on public roads is beyond me - it's bad enough in a bloody 2.0L diesel Skoda!  >:( >:( >:(
 
Our state has now fallen in line with all the other states and removed signage from Mobile speed camera cars, invented and developed a system of mobile Phone detection cameras that are fixed-mobile in cars and trailers, that's probably a good thing for the phones but how long till there tasked as speed cameras as well. These new gadgets are mounted on trailers and can be parked and left in spots Camera cars couldn't. And they're multiplying like flies on a fresh shit. There is no discretion with these cameras, no tolerance at all. And the fines and points will start pilling up.
 
Tiss why I have a GS BM and travel as much as I can on forrestry tracks and farm roads. I no longer enjoy riding the Motodd unless it's on my test track out the back of my place. Have never seen any cops yet in the 15 years I've been hooning along it but one day I might come across the filth and when I do I'm in deep shit. The BM was my unloved child but it becomes more appealing as road riding is becoming more restricted. Just paid a fine from my last trip to Perth. 64kays in a 50, fuck me I could've been killed!!!!
 
Since we have deflected the subject to on the way home in 2019 I thought I would add this photo of the mighty flying Kangaroo ready to catch the ferry from Holland, now where is that Jap bike

California circa 1981 the road to Big Bear, camping near Jenks Lake, this was a short ride just to pick up beer. This is the only time I ever went anywhere without ATGATT. The picture was taken by the pillion rider on Motodd Rob's SF. I wonder where she is now the bike and the girl?

  PB2, I recently found heavy-duty black plastic Jerry cans identical to those we used back in the '70s. Found them on Amazon bought a couple I could not resist $50 something each. They are identical to those oldies maybe even better quality, don't know if I will ever use em as panniers. Guess where they are made, yep Australia.

Hey Dave another great photo. The SF2 ended up in Marin County, who knows where it is now though, and the girl ended up in the UK.
Who nows where she is now though. Lost contact with both!!

Here is a pic of that bike and that girl only this time on the Great Ocean Rd Victoria :)

SF2 1978 by Rob Berryman, on Flickr

And taken by you I believe near Palm Springs somewhere. The SF1 I brought from TT Motors in Berkerly. That also was sold in Marin.

SF1 1982 by Rob Berryman, on Flickr

And here was the pair of them in Half Moon Bay. I paid $600 for that SF1. Had only 12000 miles on it and the seat cover was fucked.
Great bike apart from the front brake :o

Now that's a calendar picture!, a triple in its natural habitat. the Jenks Lake one, although the motoddrob ones are pretty cool too.
 
Are they jerry cans for suitcases or are they gasoline reserves ?
We are not used to seeing jerry cans attached to motorbikes in France ...

Nice pics anyway  (thumbup)
