I wish but on pension price is never from my mind especially in Australia where shipping costs are high from US or Europe if they are even available for a model. $507 US delivered to me is $806 Australian before GST $886.60 Aus delivered for and that's before me getting them the OEM seat. A...

My kangaroo kabobs must have come from a tough old buck. Still was tasty with eggs for breakfast. At my request partner bought me some ....was hoping for a steak but kabobs were all that was available. Very healthy meat and easy on the environment. Just not available all the time in stores and...

Most of us can't afford an RDL. A Sargent made a big difference on the KLR but they are not cheap either. Tried most of the popular seats over my riding career and only the RDL let me do 1,000 km days back to back given my sciatica. For a lot less money tho the Airhawk with padded shorts...

That was a fun clip with Bush Barbie....wonder how many takes it took I sold my BMW g-310-gs - never melded with it and one annoyance was 11L tank, ridiculous for an ADV bike. Happy to be back on the CB500 series which has decent size tank and extremely good range. Showing some rain relief but...

Noraly in Jeddah Surprised how uncrowded and looks prosperous. Happy to be virtual tourist. Still dripping outside - so damp inside...my clothes are growing shrooms. Tried to wean off codeine but not quite yet. Bowls Club tonight I think tho not sure what I can eat.....pasta maybe.:unsure:

I did the 3-6 months away thing for many years. Get a 3 month visitors visa then extension. Worked well before retirement then partner retired too and I sold out my biz - got just enough to cover my debts. And that was just before covid hit. 🍀🍀 I considered shipping my CB500x but decided against...

That's us in a nutshell...but it is a slow drift for us. Once the car is paid for we'll have a bit more discretionary income. Most Australians have sizeable supers to back them but not everyone.

Slowly drifting down the middle class ladder. :( Sausage sizzle for charity at Bunnings always a big draw but it's hit too. Used to be a $2 coin...

Oh damn - missed that it was just the wine :eek: You could get a decent bottle of Australian Merlot for $28 ;) This change has to be hitting eateries. First covid now cost of living,

This came in today. That's all in price. No tax no tipping. Last week - this was good deal but twice places ice cream machine was busted There is a Shake and Win deal twice a day and they can be very good deals. I just wish the meal looked like the ad. Used to be I could get two scones and...

Ur soooo bad ;)

$28 not so bad with wine for two but yeah it's the $140 hits for two that hurts, Before I retired I could take staff out for a steak dinner on the company at least once a year.. The last time we did, we all looked at the bill and said nah ....not worth it and that was a good few years back. They...

Used to be we would have a nice meal out in a decent restaurant a couple or 3 times a month. We bought the coupon books supporting rescue dogs and made our 50% off choices, Now - aside from my $5 Hungry Jacks deals - it simply does not seem worthwhile and we don't buy the coupon books...

Hey mate This time of year yeah tho Mareeba gets 300+ days of sunshine up the range. Speaking of Dan Murphy ( local bottle shop ) need a Baileys knock off to have in my coffee. Took me a while to get my permanent visa....covid actually helped move things forward. The powers that be sent me an...

There used to be a couple of flat topped bridges in St Catherines going across rail lines on side roads. Zinging along with a girl on the back of my Honda SuperHawk I realized I was going way too fast....left the ground on the way up the bridge, cleared the top entirely and somehow landed safely...

This has been a great thread OP (y)

midnight snack, pain meds then :sleep: Pain from tooth extraction pretty much non existent. I do have to start rinsing with salt water tho. One of these days I'll get a ride in - but not today - flood warning in effect, Damn, big nuclear furnace busted through the clouds and warming my back...

I got to the top of the Roger’s Pass with zilch left on the cb500x It was a long nail biting coast/draft down to the next station. Had1 ltr left. Not the smartest way to start a trip. I ignored the no gas for xxx km and forgot about gravity Despite that I still ran it thin a few times on that...
