Thanks again for all the warm welcomes. I do believe you are right RexJ, I have been reading the posts and am inspired. yesterday I fitted heated grips to my beaST ( after a 3 year wait) and have other mods planned as well.

Good to see another New Englander.  I'm in Brissie now, but have connections to Inverell and Tingha.
Looks like you got the most practical farkle for your area first- the heated grips.  You'll find lots more ideas here.
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

Hi Grant - looks like we can change our Inverell venue to your joint!   Got room for 30 STs on the lawn?       :eek

We have a great time there, and the back roads up to Qld from there are very nice as well.      :thumb               Wot thuh


Look forward to meeting you around on the road somewhere soon.


Thanks for the the intro.


Cheers, Diesel

I will indeed. Just a heads up for those coming the Texas way. The first 40 km for Ashford to Inverell is quite rough so be aware. Also there is no 95 or 98 fuel at Ashford. looking forward to meeting you all.
