Sunny, sunny Queensland!
« on: April 15, 2015, 01:28:38 AM »
Mate of mine just got a killer deal on this



14.5K including all taxes etc AND six months rego thrown in. He also got a great deal on luggage. No way I could match it unfortunately.

He has flown me up to do the first service and re-map it though. That was fun. It had a Bosch ABS pump and the map Mark sent had correction factors for the Conti. Anything over walking pace and it said it was doing 240kph :D



All fixed now!

They are a lovely bike. He and I are planning a lap of Oz in the next couple of years.

My son attended the graduate program in engineering at University of Queensland.  He loved the place, traveled all over Australia.

I hope not! Even at 240kph I think it would have trouble getting down to Maleney an back to Townsville in an afternoon! :D
