Welcome aboard Frank. Aldinga beach is a beautiful spot (family used to holiday there in the 60's) and one of the last metropolitan beaches one can drive/ride on. Once the temps drop a bit we'll have to arrange a ride around the Fleurieu for a meet and greet. Cheers ... Mark BTW - nice looking ride!

Thanks for the welcome, I don't get out on long rides much, the old back can't take too long in the saddle, a couple of hours is about it and that's with some coffee breaks, my wife rides with me as well (pillion) and her back is even worse, we do ride with a group ATM called the GHOST riders, that's Grey Haired Old Sports and Tourer riders and enjoy that, but often we just can't make it. After looking at the photo I posted I realised that it was about a year old, BC actually, Before Crash that is, we low sided on a corner where there was a rut in the road, we were only doing about 10kph when we went down and only had a few bruises, but the bike ended up with a few scratches, mainly on the paniers and the crash bar, so here's a couple I took today

Annastasia may fill you in here . Hey Frank go the extra mile and buy a Mustang seat and pillion seat .You two will go further for sure . Bike does look great . Necessary gear there for cruising ,so enjoy Cheers Ray
