over weight, over powered gopher

I got my Spyder RT Limited serviced last week and they gave me a Spyder F3 LTD as a loan bike and found it quite nice to ride and it does look good in black

Has JohnnyTED still got his Spyder for sale?

I believe so.

Well I got out on two wheels again today.   My son and I rode the Amy Gillett Trail, a 30km round trip in the Adelaide Hills.   He was on a heavily modified "Dirt Surfer" which is an electric two wheeled thingo that is steered by shifting body weigh, a bit like riding a bicycle with no hands and with a hand held throttle/brake.   I rode his more traditional electric scooter, which was a lot of fun and handled like a small shopping trolly.   This kind of stuff will soon be legal in SA, as the legislation has passed parliament and some accompanying regs are being fine tuned.

Looks like fun.

I heard a rumour that there are soon to be some changes in VIC to regulations re. eBikes and eScooters and the like.  Not sure what good it will do other than legitimise what about 5% of what eBike and eScooter riders already do, and safely do at that.  The other 95% are outta control and do many, many risky, dangerous things on roads and paths.

In Feb '24 we had a coupla weeks on the Gold Coast, the number of eBikes / eScooters was around 10 fold more (probably a weather thing) and problem was exponentially worse.

By the look of the picture Pete, you were wearing ATGATT - well done.

Not quite a motorbike but it looks like you were having an awesome time
