Man, that matte gunmetal grey Bonneville looks fantastic.
Never ridden but always wanted to. Maybe sometime soon I'll learn!Same. Bonneville could be awesome with just a few subtle tweeks.

Everyone I ride with is getting slow… need something that is less... erm... enthusiastic.
And less Italian in the reliability stakes
The Thunderbird is damn nice - particularly in the Nightstorm flavour which has me drooling. With the massive fuel tank, massive mpg and comfy seating it could be a very, very nice place to do a lot of miles!
And apparently I don't have to wait for my wee boys to finish school before doing the Nordkapp......

As the girl sits now…got a few more things I want to do, just time and money.
-
there is some great looking bikes there and its in one of the places i allways wanted to visit ,i am jealous
-
it looks like the triumph is sold and will be replaced by this as i need a more road focused bike , but i will never get rid of the harley

@Jordonf9 Nice Indian!
@Clint_D Thanks for posting the photos. There are some cool bikes there, looks like it was a fun show.
@harley dave Have you considered the R1200R instead of the RT? It's basically the same bike, albeit without half a tonne of plastics on it. I used to run one, and it was comfortable to do 300 mile days, whilst also being pretty frugal - I think that I averaged around 50 mpg.

Good ole saying, If you ain't racing, you are just waiting…
One day soon I will get some real photos of the bike.

i have not considered that as i really want a big fairing and big screen i have had an rt before and they are a great road bike , thats the plan at the moment but as allways my plans change every five minutes :o

Did some work to the helmet….I will need to repaint it eventually though.

Suus are a lifestyle motorcycling retailer that's recently opened in Melbourne. They're similar to Urban Rider or The Cafe Racer in the UK, in that they offer more lifestyle orientated technical gear, rather than the sort of kit you'd wear on a circuit.
That's not to say it's not crashworthy. The Smith jacket is a collaboration with Richa, and is leather with D3O armour. Silodrome covered it a few days ago.
Saint are a Melbourne brand that the store that builds gear out of denim, dyneema, and kevlar.. The flight jacket looks sharp, and I'm after a pair of their drill pants.
Oh, and there's a nice collection of bike porn to admire in the showroom…

style over safety any day

@Graeme I agree with you about the flight jacket! Tasty
