... I know last weekend I said it wasn't a big deal, but I must admit I did like listening to the radio as I rode it back home.

I remember the time late one afternoon back in the late 80's, I left Warracknabeal heading for Mildura for the night, slipped a Top Gun cassette into the slot in the dash of the (red plate, Government issue) Nissan Pintara, found 5th gear and listened to a very loud Kenny Loggins punching out Danger Zone, looked down to glance at the speedo.

Mmmmm .... 140, better slow down.

Music is good whilst driving/ riding, but it has a potential to destroy my perspective of speed.  All things good, in moderation.

That will be interesting to say the least, and worthwhile keep an eye on.

Good solid bike fully farkled at a fair price for its age and kms.  Hope someone appreciates all that and snaps it up.  Serious graze on top box, but I've had one fixed and repainted for $150.  No doubt more than that now.
Thanks for the kind appraisal Bill. In regards to the scratch, I'd approached several professionals - match n' scratch businesses, who seemed to want to either shunt me off to someone else or quote an unrealistic amount, to the point I decided I'd leave it as it is.

Is this a sign of things to come?  :popcorn
No.
EVs are the future, you may not come kicking and screaming but the next generation will... guaranteed, The new financial year hasn't started yet plus the new emissions legislation, ICE is going to go the way of the dinosaur, no matter how many youtube videos you post of the goose John Cadogan
