Thanks Doc Guzzler

Ha ha So if an Aussie addict were to enquire as to the cost of said gears....what are we looking at? Cheers Guzzler

I really enjoyed On Any Sunday as well. Have it on DVD. Anyone seen the new one On Any Sunday - The Next Chapter? I tried to get it on Bluray but seems no longer available in our region B ( area code for Oz /NZ ). It looks good, Bluray quality picture and Dolby Atmos soundtrack ! Bugger Cheers Guzzler

G'day( or good evening in the Northern hemisphere ) mate ! That sounds right ( I'm not that well versed in these matters ). It was Brad Black ( Brad the Bike Boy), a well known ( world wide actually ) Ducati mechanic who suggested putting it on when my original one gave up the ghost many moons ago.He swears by them so I figured if he recommends them they must be the way to go! Never had cause to even think about it again and I ride year round here in Victoria ( well Covid lockdowns excluded ) and don't ever charge the battery. Anyway mate you shouldn't have to think about your reg/rec again so hopefully you can get out there and enjoy your summer riding season. Cheers Guzzler Ps we've just had a once in 10/20 years storm come through which wiped out the power for 3 x days! We had a lull in the storm where the winds and rain stopped and I thought maybe I'll sneak out on the greenie.Wife insisted we take the car and charge her phone ( our only connection to the world ) whilst we're driving. Wow, very very glad I left the bike at home! Also BLOODY GLAD to be reconnected to the V11 world again!!

G'day mate I 've had a Shendengan Reg/rec on my bike for about 10 or more years! Yep they are good! Anyways I don't have the battery light on mine as I remember Brad ( mechanic ) mentioning that this couldn't be connected!! Something about 3 wires and only 2 connections?Or something along those lines. I look at it as a small price to pay for not having to worry about reg/rec's again. Cheers Guzzler

Parked up / rest by the Tambo river ( just below us ) after dropping down off the plateau from Falls Creek.Cheers Guzzler

Bugger, mucked up the text again ! Anyways this was me at the bottom of the garden looking up the street. Checking the weather before we set off on a 3 day long weekend up into the high country. We were lucky in that we only ran into murky crap on the Sunday on the climb up from Mt Beauty and across the plateau and back down to the Blue Duck Inn and back to Omeo. A big part of the Eastern seaboard was hit with MASSIVE rain and flooding not long afterwards, but we managed to avoid the worst of it and got to the Marlo pub on the coast where we had a great afternoon/evening with the locals!! What a hoot. Cheers Guzzler

The car park at Falls Creek Alpine Village before heading back over over the top to Omeo. Cheers Guzzler

Seem to have buggered that up a bit! Meant to caption with Parked up behind the Marlo pub for the night ! Cheers Guzzler Ps might need to get out and take a few photos and post before I forget how to do it ha ha

That looks really good mate! I've got a good mate over in Perth that keeps going on about getting back into bikes with one of these!! Wouldn't mind one myself for meandering round the English style backroads out here! Reckon it would be about perfect for that with a nice set of pipes as you mention. Hope you enjoy it! Cheers Guzzler

Yay, another greenie! I haven't had any issues with the Odyssey batteries myself. I just put the third one in her about 18 months ago, so not bad for a 20 year old bike. ( I know this as I replaced the original Spark 500 back when) My bike has had a Shendengan Reg/Reg for nigh on 12 years though and this plus she gets ridden year round may have something to do with it ? ( Maybe ) Welcome to the nuthouse mate but I see you're well versed in the Guzzi way already ! Cheers Guzzler

Lookout on the Great Alpine Road. Cheers Guzzler

Bugger, not sure what I did to the above post but it didn't quite come out right ? Anyways meant to add that I don't recall seeing any Austin Healey's on the trip eh! Cheers Guzzler

Well here we go down memory lane again folk's. I'm blaming Doc for posting his Big thumper! Here's a shot from 1990 trip Melbourne to Darwin and Kakadu National Park on a Yamaha SR500.The road to the Olgas from Ayres rock was unsealed and ROUGH AS GUTS back then,so much so that we lost a footpeg ( had to share pillion one with GF ) header and muffler went separate ways blah blah. We effectively had a straight pipe from there on. This shot is at Fogg dam, a local and popular wildlife viewing spot not far out of Darwin on the way to Kakadu.When we got there the LOUD bike scared off the wildlife much to the amusement of the locals.Now the ole SR was kick start only and a bugger to start when hot sometimes.This is the tropics and we're two up, heavily laden and she's a little warmish! The look on the locals faces seemed to give my right boot extra grunt and she fired up straight away, so we bounced off down the track over the monster snake that was stretched out over the track and off on our merry way before the mood changed too much more for the worse! Ha ha hell of a trip that ! Cheers

Thanks mate.

Ha ha I got it too Cheers Guzzler

Actually, here's one I prepared earlier! You can just see it. I'll post a better shot when up and about again Lemon honey tea and getting sorted out on the sofa for the Oz superbikes on tv later on ! Cheers Guzzler

Sorry mate I've just seen this. I went with RSC as in Doc's photo and it's mounted in same spot as the original! They do look pretty good I must admit.( I got a black one ) Ha ha now that I can post photos I'll see about posting one! Might have to wait a wee bit, I've come down with a dose of the lurgy ( flu ) and confined to bed and sofa at the moment. Cheers Guzzler

One from over the top ( By the Lake- just past Falls Creek ski resort ) Lovely winter type weather for us! Cheers Guzzler

G'day mate Yeah the standard Bitubo ( I think from memory ) isn't all that flash! I put a Hyperpro damper on when I had my Suspension done as my std unit was leaking too, it's been bloody good / no issues. Yep definitely worthwhile upgrading your suspension by the way!! Cheers Guzzler

Same morning at the Upper Yarra Reservoir

A shot from the Guzzi club breaky a few years ago. Cheers Guzzler

The first coffee ( heart starter ) on Sunday!
