Bye Thruxton

Sold last Friday. I'm gonna miss it, but I need the cash to fund other motorcycling endeavours. I highly recommend the Thruxton to anyone considering getting one...

Damn, I'm missing it already!

VIPER - September 12, Monza Park

Last Sunday (Sep 12), saw round 6 of the VIPER series held at Monza Park (near Ballarat, in Victoria, Australia).

It was a great day's racing on an immaculately prepared track.

Check out some photos here:

Suzuki ST250

Japan only model (as far as I know). Released in 2004, it looks like a nice example of basic motorcycling. Undoubtedly a lot of potential for customisation too...

Dirty Triumph

Pic taken at the Vinduro (vintage enduro) at Ruffy, Victoria, Australia on 29 August 2010.

I never saw this bike in action on the trail, but apparently it was awesome.

Some more pics can be seen here:

Yamaha DT400 poster

Great poster for Yamaha's DT400. It's an almost idyllic scene (and it makes me want to have a cigarette).

Ruffy vinduro this weekend. Maybe this guy will be there...

By the way I pinched this image from the internet somewhere. If it was from your site, I'm sorry (no, really).
