I've always wanted to go touring down in the great state of Australia.
Take a long walkabout on my bike, down by the billybong with my dingo.
I have done quite a bit of work looking into a motorcycle tour  and would like to share some
of my findings.

I thing I would want to dress appropriately. I wouldn't want it look out of place.



I've also found that theres no limit to the speed you should tour at. You just go as fast as
can all the time and the police are checking you on that.

There are cop everywhere on bikes going as fast as they can and if your not trying to pass them
your in trouble.


The typical motorist drive all over the road and you wont see any fords or Chevy's down there
cause they build there own cars, better cars designed to take care of any road rage situation that may come
along.

If you have a slower vehicle, don't try to pass around, you just go over. It perfectly legal,
even to pass police that way.


I'm pretty excited about going down under. They got all these quaint little villages that cater to motorcyclists.



And pretty woman..

I think, if I can get in with a good group of bikers, the camaraderie would be excellent.


Well, I think I got a pretty good start on my next vacation plans.
Oh, a,  gooday!

Shit that's where I go wrong, I only have a cute border collie that attracts lovely sheela's (ye I know I'm too old but...), I should have a dingo that attracts Harley riders Hem.. maybe the collie should stay

That's why I got booked passing one the other day, thanks for pointing out my bad.

Ye, I thought of joining the Virago or Vespa club but I was told the FJ is out, still deciding

Good! You guys are from Australia. One of the most popular misconceptions is that
the Aborigines are trying to take over your island?


I can only speculate that this fellas rig is for taking advantage of the car pool lane
on this bike.


Thanks for the replies. I already learned something new..

FJZ1 1200 - It'll do me just fine.
Timing has much to do with the success of a rain dance.
