Cherish every moment. Thoughts and respect from Aus.

Welcome. The bike looks great. Really pity all you blokes who are forced to have an off-season.

Welcome V8. Be careful of the kangaroos when you're out riding!

Welcome from Aus!

Welcome. Surprised the Bianchi doesn't have any celeste on it. Was that the original colour?

Welcome aboard from Australia. As a relatively new rider, I often talk to folk who wistfully remark how they used to ride....until they met their partner. While recognising everyone has their own unique situation and sometimes there are compelling reasons to stop (eg. finance), and far be it for...

Hey Sleepy, welcome from Aus. Riding the bike will calm your nerves after the cricket. :)

Fantastic news Tang Man. Pass on congrats and give Mrs. Tang a hug from me (but that's all!!!!).

Welcome mate. Thanks for sharing a wonderful story. I will deliberately take the secondary roads every time. It's not about the destination, but the journey, in a physical sense. But it sounds like riding is going to be a great journey for you in the emotional sense too.

I love seeing Bonneville movies....reviews or rides, especially from overseas. We have a thread for pics, why not have one for movies? It would be great to have them in one accessible place. If anyone has any movies on vimeo, youtube, or anywhere else that they'd like to share, post the link here.

Welcome Noisy. Worst of luck for the upcoming Ashes. :) Tell me, when you smoke a kipper....do you inhale?

Moses, would you please take a shot of your bars so I'm sure what you are talking about? (or someone else) :)

Yeah, no one asks me from a philosophical perspective, but people often express a concern for the dangers of bike riding. As with most things, my response depends on the spirit of the enquiry. If I can't be bothered talking about it, I'll often say ...'Never substitute the thrill of living for...

Just got sent this link. I understand the film has limited release in the US today. The trailer looks great and partly answers that question..... http://whyweridefilm.com/screenings-videos.html

Well, it's a beautiful 24 deg(C) today. Not a cloud in the sky and being a Friday, it's POETS day (Piss Off Early Tomorrow's Saturday). So I think I'll go for a scoot in the hills and finish at a MC shop to pick up a D-lock for my helmet. I know everyone usually just leaves them on the...

By the way, Keith, did you like that recent Lone Ranger movie?

Hey Keith....when is it not sunny in WA? I was at work today when the sun came out (had been raining in the morning). I had a bit of a gap in the shedule, so drove home, hopped on the bike and had a 'magic moment' riding in the sun, back to work. Sometimes it's hard to explain that to non-riders.

Bonneville T100 v Kawasaki W800 v Moto Guzzi V7 comparison in this month's Australian Motorcyclist. I think they were a bit biased and the review was superficial, but the Bonnie still comes up trumps, I reckon. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4hSyWXJ6yZcNTFYakZSejhNTDA/edit?usp=sharing

Here's another...

The Bonneville and Melbourne street art Here is the world's most beautiful bike with some Melbourne street art. When does life stop and art start?

She was obviously bringing him a beer and asking if there was anything else he needed. :)

We'll, November is the wettest month, but it's not like we are in a tropical zone, like Northern Australia. However, the irony is that while we are lamenting the rain, just up in Sydney, they are suffering heat and terrible bush fires...go figure.

It's been raining all week since picking the new bike up last weekend. Last night I just had to go out into the garage, sit on it, fire it up and rev it a bit. It didn't overcome my frustration, but it helped.

Bonafide, thanks for a great forum. Must be a shitload of work. Thanks for the commitment. Strokerlmt, is that stroker's lament?...or perhaps stroker's limit? Anyway, the black bike with the gold wheels looks awesome! And Sporty, will be in touch very soon. That vid to Kilcunda is wonderful. I...
