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.

Pete

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

            Another perfect day in "ssQ". Hope you've got a bike to ride Pete. I'm getting on mine soon as I can.
