Our Latest Acquisition...

[ruSTynutz]

[NTRebel]

Everyone will be wanting you to carry their food and beer to the rte's now Rusty.

[Brock]

 

You bought a house????

[ruSTynutz]

Geez, I didn't think about that, NTRebel! 

And to Brock...yep, we did, but that's not our latest acquisition...

Nice!

And you`ve certainly done some travelling whilst in lock up, look at all the stickers!
Nicely done..........

[Williamson]

Good skills Russell, and Sue from what I've heard. 

Once you have a few things sorted out, I can see an overnighter sometime soon.  A camp ground with good facilities, plush grass, close to a pub or cafe.

I reckon there's a few other campers on the forum, anyone else interested?  Ladies and gents welcome, but I don't think I'll be able to convince Helen.

My camping days are over.

My camping days are over.

I thought mine were too, but if Neil and Val can do motorcycle camping tours of the USA, I reckon there's at least one more left in me.

And then, there's always one more, until there isn't.

Nice setup Rusty 
I am still hopeful of doing a lap with the bike and our camper trailer
Just waiting for Anna Stay Away to say it’s ok to come back home when ever you feel like it

Already less stickers on there as I've been slowly peeling them off!
I'm thinkin' I'll need new finger nails by the time I've finished...

My camping days are over.

That's what I thought too...and, to be honest they probably still are...
I figure the trailer will come in handy to carry Sue's makeup around...

I may not have to worry about any of it if Sue spots my previous comment...

Oh, and thanks again Michael for your advice on our purchase!
After lots of rain overnight and early this morning the rain gods decided to give me a break so I actually managed to get home without getting a wet bum!

Congratulations Rusty and Sue, nice looking trailer 

[ruSTynutz]

What about the bike?

[Bodø]

What about the bike?

You'll need to get something different to everyone else so you'll stand out.   

[Williamson]

What about the bike?

It looks like your 'old' bike, they can't tell.  I think you'll need a side-by-side pic.

[Williamson]

I am still hopeful of doing a lap with the bike and our camper trailer.

Yes, on my list, but looking less likely with the lockdown and travel restrictions Dictator Dan keeps imposing, relaxing, etc...

Just waiting for Anna Stay Away to say it’s ok to come back home when ever you feel like it.

From where a lot of us sit in VIC, at least she has kept to QLD safe compared to VIC.  I'd be grateful for what you've got, it's probably better than the alternative of case numbers, hospitalisations, and deaths VIC has and this is despite the lockdown days in Melbourne currently at 258. 

But I suppose it could be a case of the grass is always greener ....

Those horrible knee pads on the panniers are a giveaway...that and the standard seat with black sheepskin cover, the standard screen & the Staintune pipes...

Ah yes Michael I am grateful for situation up here I guess I didn’t word it quite right I was angling at the idea after her hard stand that when our premier is allowing free travel across the border that the danger of pandemic might be over
I feel for you guys  and hope it’s not to long before you guys can move around again
The grass is always greener on our side of the fence

Yeah, so frustrating down here, hopefully we've seen the worst.

The upside is so much spare time (for some) and cash (for some) that they can search for new toys and buy 'em.

[Jdbiker]

What about the bike?

Didn’t realise bike was new too, nice looking bike  double congratulations 

[ruSTynutz]

Cheers JD, I figured not to many would notice it was a different bike...

Although in saying that it's also a 2005 model just like my other ST, and built in the same month as well! 

[ruSTynutz]

The trailer is already looking diferent as I've completely removed all of the stickers.
It's actually looking quite good now! 

I'll post up a pic when I get a chance...

Oh, and for those that may be interested, it's an Ali-Lite...

[Williamson]

.... it's an Ali-Lite.

Ali-lite are very (err) light, 65kg comes to mind, but the tare will probably be on the compliance plate.  They are very popular with a couple of my mates.  They are deceptively large inside, one of the guys packs a market gazebo in his, so plenty of room for strawberry jam, or other necessities.

If / when you tire of it, it'll be an easy sell.

Okay, here's the de-stickered trailer...
