      I snapped a couple quick shots at the Handbuilt Motorcycle Show last weekend in Austin.  There were quite a few beautiful bikes but there was one clear standout winner in my mind:

      ATX IH Hoarder

            just time and money.

              @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.

                  .

                  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

                        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…

                                          I dropped by the local Triumph dealership today, and grabbed a couple of photos of the standard Thruxton. I figured a few photos wouldn't hurt. 😉
