Thanks fellas

@goosehd  The Triumph Thruxton looks the biz - where are they made these days, I will certainly be looking more into that model.

@motojobobo - thanks for the info and glad to hear you are on the mend!

@LewisStonehouse - good luck in your search, as I mentioned I have been a long time out, so I'm not sure what an Iron 883 is?

[goosehd]

@Jase68 Made in Thailand to the best of my knowledge.

Thanks for the info @Giles and @goosehd

Bloody hell, I went down to the local bike shop and saw the limited  Guzzi 21' V9 Bobber !! Made my heart skip a beat LOL.  Shitty weather so I didn't ask for a test ride, but sat on it and went brumm brummm so that was something 

Lucky I didn't have the $s there and then as I still want to explore wider.

Look at the new Indian Scout. Liquid cooled and lots of seat options for your passenger. There's a brand new Indian Chief also thats still aircooled but not as many seat options.

Cheers mate, they are definitely on my radar, I've always loved Indians

I demoed the Indian Scout and came away thinking it was a cheap/crappy bike. The Chief on the other hand is a whole lot of motorcycle. Possibly the best V-Twin engine ever.

Oh that's a bit disappointing to hear about the Scout but good to hear the Chief was a winner - thanks for the info

My Deluxe is almost finished, just need to find some nice fishtails, now I continue with the Sporty

[Jett129]

Love,Love,Love the wheels. Nice looking scoot!

I've got to agree with @Jett129 , those wheels are fantastic. That may be the final push I need to convert…

[Dmart]

Thanks guys. These are DNA big spoke wheels. I love them. I obviously go the Chicano route with this one. Only minor things and the pipes.

Big hello to the IH guys in Austin! Hope the motorcycle enthusiasts amongst you make it and enjoy the GP races at COTA this afternoon. I’ll be watching it on TV…
@Clint_D , I’ll be looking for you in the crowd shots…

PS- ask the mayor to fix the ripples in the pavement…

[Clint_D]

Ha, wish I could’ve made it! I tried to buy tickets while I was offshore and they didn’t want to process my card. By the time I tried to get tickets on the secondary, prices had tripled  ::)

Hoping to make it next year for sure though!

Some 28 odd years ago I was living and working in London for a couple of years - I'm an Aussie.

So while I worked to continue my travels, and of course being a fan of Easy Rider, I had a dream to ride across the states and end in New Orleans.

On my wall, I had a picture of an old Indian motorcycle and I attempted to put money aside each week to fund this adventure… unfortunately life got in the way.

Fast forward another 25 years and I have just put a deposit on this bad boy...

International travel is a long way off in Australia, but some long rides in this vast country are certainly on the cards 

The windshield will be removed straight away  Oh and I reckon that yellow crazy check UHF will look good on this ride

…that's a beaut!!!@Jase68

[Jett129]

Sweet!!! You’re going to love it!

[Dmart]

Enjoy @Jase68 and congrats on the new bike.

[Jase68]

Many thanks @vaquero357 , @Jett129 . @Dmart - your ride is sweet mate!
