That'd be illegal here as there's a minimum distance between indicators. Same reason the rear lights with integrated ones are illegal.

Thanks Grog,was not aware we had a min spacing requirement for bikes. Makes sense though.
I try to take one day at a time, however sometimes several days catch up with me at once.

You'd have to encounter a very anally retentive and technically informed Police officer to be concerned with the width required.  :jack:

I see a lot of sports bikes with taillight/indicator one piece. I'm sure it looks cool but they're not as bright as originals.  :confused1:

You'd feel ill afterwards, kids are never hygienic

Today out in my shed. By pure chance a new 800 v strom pulled up,they were just chatting about next stop. Had a talk to him, of course he loves it, hes just spent 18 g on it. I had a good look over, not something i could care for, maybe rides perfect but no instant attraction for me.

I had a good look at them. I have heaps of trails here in the pine forests and rural dirt roads. Not sure a want a 250/400 single but the 800 Strom would be a good compromise between bitumen and unsealed roads.

They do appeal to me but the price isn't right for something that might be an occasional toy.  I've tried a 650 Strom but wasn't very impressed, the SV didn't suit the changes. DR650's are nice but not cheap and not that nice on the bitumen.

Shame the cheap Ag bikes can't be registered. They are small and basic but cheap enough not to be too concerned about.

No rush, I'll watch sales.

Imagine spending all that money on a brand new bike and leaving it in the yard with your dog...

you must have the same dog as me, mine loves caravans and all their plastic bits for some reason.  Had to park the van out on the front lawn because of it.

Parked Ducati at Mates place once. Oiled foam air filters. His bluey ate every bit of them, just crumbs left. His internals wouldve been flowing nicely.

Bought a brand new Toyota 4x4 for the Mrs, put the dog in the back, he ate one of the seatbelts.  Took the 3rd row of seats out and bought some blanking panels, he destroyed one of the blanking panels. Took my ute to get serviced, Toyota were concerned about the teeth marks and holes in my new tyres.
Had a $1000 vet bill when he ate a tennis ball and a rope toy that didn't come out the other end.

He caught and killed a hare recently.
He wants to go out looking for mice or birds in the middle of the night.
Every Saturday we run 5K's, I'm gasping by the end, struggle to talk or get my breath, he is ready to do it again, and again.
3 years old and he's an absolute dynamo that never stops!

He came from a property out West. He wasn't the pup we went to see, I changed my mind when I saw him. Only myself to blame.

My last one was totally different. Very chilled. Very social.



Both knew their role, most folk aren't game to come into my yard.
