Default Thankyou from Australia

Just would like to thank all who sent a welcome post. The part of Australia we live in is Queensland. NO problems with riding all year although a bit hot at this time. Taking a week from work at end of year to get away somewhere on the bike. I have been riding Triumphs and Harleys for 32 years and it just keeps getting better.

Sweet looking bike! I really dig the blacked out look. I'm debating taking a riding vacation in Australia in Feb. Renting a bike and cruising around for a week or ten days. Still working it out in my head. Enjoy the ride!!

Nice looking bike.

Pretty hot down here in South Oz today. 39 degrees C (about 102 in the old scale). I've also got a few weeks off just after Xmas, looking forward to clocking up a few km's.
