Ain't no Indians made after 1953, just sayin'

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…

the bmw rt plan is out of the window and i am not sure what i will by next

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.

The bike is a perfect contrast for the double ducks

This is what love looks like in my eyes

Jordan,Drop dead gorgeous bike. I've ridden most of the Indians. Really great bikes. I currently ride a 2014 HD Heritage Softail. I live in NJ but get out to Bucks County from time to time. Is that near you?–Jett

[harley dave]

i like that my style of bike

[Sam]

Last weekend i went to wake up the sleepy villages of south Hampshire. Helps me stay in love with this machine too.

What a great shot!!! Would you like some Harley shirts from the states. Have a bunch in black/large that don't fit me. I could give a few of them to Paula and Giles when I see them in Philadelphia.–Jett

[harley dave]

sportsters the purest of the harley range in my opinion

[Graeme]

Nice shot @Sam.

@harley dave I've never gotten on with the Sportsters. I think that my legs are a bit too long to fit comfortably.

That said, the new Roadster looks nice. It's also got upside down forks, and twin discs up front.

Harley seem to be dipping their toe into more performance oriented machines this year. The Lowrider S and CVO Breakout are a starting point, though I doubt they'll be bothering R1s and S1000RRs anytime soon.
