I was going to suggest a local Aussie product affectionately known as Koala P*ss! Better known as eucalyptus oil. Works a treat.

If there are at least 4 of you guys going to fit a car tyre to your bike, would you like to send the bike tyres you remove to me so I can fit them to my car to see how it handles? Now - that would be an interesting ride!

Hey gentlemen (and any ladies who bought into this thread.) When the DVD has finished doing the rounds of the North American continent in around 8 years time, there are few Aussies who I feel sure would love to have a look at it. It wouldn't take long for it to circulate amongst the few interested Aussie members, then kick it back upstairs. Just wondering if it's compatible with our DVD system down-under? Most of them are these days.

My understanding of the 5 years warranty top side is - you only get 2 years Yamahahaha warranty and an insurance company takes over the other 3. A bit like buying extended warranty on your TV or PC. The manufacturere may have a 2 years warranty and you can opt for the extension. That's not done through the manufacturer, but a third party insurance company. I know - I've used it. Still reckon you should have put the after-market pipes on it Steve. I did, and I only have to crank the radio up to 17 instead of 15 on the highway. Not too worried about the whine (or any high frequency noise for that matter) as my hearing range doesn't extend that far any more. A fact of ageing. So, how you been mate? You've been sending some nasty weather over here lately. Only got to 14 degC today - wet and windy. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I just realised - this is post #666 for me. (The devil made me do it!)

Hey Brad, Sure you wouldn't like to have it look as good as a 2004? :rotfl::rotfl: (Sorry about the paint job!)

That's a pretty brave move on your part Squidley. You wouldn't catch me running a red light into a cross-flow of traffic just to avoid a smack in the rear end! Too much of a chance of getting T-boned!

Here in Australia it's compulsory to wear a helmet. (Damn - don't the OMCGs hate that!) Stats have revealed a decrease in bike crash related deaths and head injuries. Just like mandatory seat belt wearing introduced in the 1970's. Done wonders. No helmet - no brains! (Think about it!)

Any word if 2009 Venturer will be EFI?
spear replied to frogmaster's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
Carburettors, EFI, heat shields - - bah humbug. What the Venture needs is a rear shock that won't let go everytime you go for a ride! -
I look forward to it!

Hey Lynn. Sounds like one heck of a ride. Well done. When ya coming back Down Under? Love to catch up. Have my elder son's wedding in Beenleigh in September.

. . . and Alice Springs is that close to the geographical centre of Australia, it doesn't matter from which direction you come - there is plenty of room and riding for EVERYBODY! Go on. Somebody tell me to pull my head in!

Thanks Pa!. Nice to know we're !ooking out for each other.

Hey Jan. Welcome. (You could always get yourself a shorter hubby!)
-
Whew Steve! You had me real worried for a minute. I thought you said you were trapped in the KITCHEN! . Seriously thought. Glad you're okay. Wish I was state-side so I could pitch in and help. Don't suppose you wanna send the bike home via Australia?

My walls, very soon - as soon as the renovations are finished.

My bet is - all the oil has gone. My observed leak on the workshop floor was no more than a teaspoonful. That's all that was left for me between rides. I'd say if I had stayed on the road for a couple of days or not parked on concrete I wouldna found it. Probably still be riding on air and spring. (Ouch!)

Some more shots for your perusal. These were taken on the roadside on the highway between Uluru and Erldunda. These are true Aussie colours. Just love that red sand.
-
I wonder how many members we will have by then?
-
You probably gather that I love my sunset shots. Enjoy.

Get some duct tape the same colour as your side covers, and stick a key on the inside of one of those. (Damn, I've given away my hidey hole secret!)

Woo hoo! I knew there was a reason for living in Oz. I pay $430 a year comprehensive insurance for an agreed value of $22,000 for my 2004 RSV. That includes $5Million public liability, and damage to helmet and leathers if I come off.

That'd be 1st Gen - 1 hump. Top speed? No such thing as speed where a camel is concerned.
