Thread: Bike Porn - Regardless of the motor, Show off your "two wheeled" beasties

@inozz Lot of mischief to be had with those old girls ,back in 2015 l was invited over to Oz on a group ride from Sydney to the tip of Cape York, with a biker group l am a member of known as the Laurels Larrikins, that all raced in the Finke Desert Races in the 90's, for at least 2 race events & are too stupid to have given up dirt bikes.

On the ride back (l took my DR650 over as it all set up for long distance expeditions )we did a great road ride( uhmm race) up & down a mountain range out of Cairns in Northern Queensland & then rode down to watch the Australian Postie Bike GP in NSW, held by one of the best dirt bike racing clubs l came across in all my years while racing, the Cessnock Motorcycle Club in NSW (they are mainly a Enduro club).

This is a full on road race with riders travelling from all over & all the local towns turning out to watch postie bikes getting thrashed around the street circuit ,then the local towns supported the race by offering discounts on food & accommodation to people travelling home .When l was dirt bike racing l competed around the world, but this was right up there with any event l have been to as far as people just having fun & loving the bike culture .If you ever get a chance to go l definitively recommenced it .

@XR500 Have you got a link to that fella's video,sounds like a good while we are getting blown away down here ?

The Finke is a big race these days, huge numbers of 2 and 4 wheelers, but I just love this old footage from its early days with the big two smokes roosting big time, these guys and a couple of girls hard on the pin from start to finish.

c90adventures is his channel I believe. A young pom. Find his first ones and binge watch him travel throughout the world. His favorite bit was being told by a couple of old bastards on BMW1200's adventure bikes that he'd never make it (across one horrible bit of terrain or the other) and he ended up putting past them as they were broken down/bogged/whatever.

This link is to of those dubbed over pisstakes of Hitler losing his rag, and sums up Ed March's approach to travelling the world on a Honda c90 nicely:

Oh, and another one popped up that made me piss my pants. Another Hitler dub over when Ed rode his bike into the Artic circle solo:

Fargin funny ! I've owned 4 BMW's over the years, 3 air-heads and a K75 that I still have. Back in the day, a lot of Beemer-owners were very 'Germanic' about 'other' brands, and their riders. I just sent the link to a few who fitted that bill back then. if they dont piss themselves laughing , I will
