After Auspost stopped buying them, Honda re-released the postie as a CT125 with ABS brakes and EFI and LED lights, and a premium cost. Which to me defeats the purpose of the thing, but what would I know about marketing

@vwdasher @leahmac @nacho_borracho @liamvhogan this would almost drag me back onto a bike.
-
@Kels_316 @vwdasher @leahmac @nacho_borracho you'd get to like Albury driving at 90km/h on the motorway and start saying FUCK THIS
-
@liamvhogan @vwdasher @leahmac @nacho_borracho only an insane person would take one on the freeway, but you could scoot down the great ocean road, up through the backblocks of SA and avoid pretty much all fuckery.
-
@Kels_316 @vwdasher @leahmac @nacho_borracho yeah we're all thinking about it now
-
@liamvhogan @vwdasher @leahmac @nacho_borracho thinking more about this, you could get pretty much to the NT border without going on a major road. Dunno how you'd go with fuel range.
-
@Kels_316 @vwdasher @leahmac @nacho_borracho my motorbike has this kind of fuel tank limit and I've investigated this (during lockdown when long distances were against the law) and yeah it's only really once you get past Alice Springs that roadhouses are >150km separated. You could do the Nullarbor, no problem
-
@Kels_316 @vwdasher @leahmac @nacho_borracho if you had a setup to carry a 10L can or soft bladder, you'd be sweet.
-
@liamvhogan @vwdasher @leahmac @nacho_borracho thats probably right on the main roads, not sure about the back roads but it can't be too bad. Plus you can get those little fuel bladders....

@Kels_316 @vwdasher @leahmac @nacho_borracho or a support car obviously

@liamvhogan @Kels_316 @vwdasher @leahmac @nacho_borracho I'm thinking how shattered my coccyx would be after a couple of hundred kms

@ben_hr @Kels_316 @vwdasher @leahmac @nacho_borracho don't worry about your spine, worry about your eardrums

@liamvhogan @Kels_316 @vwdasher @nacho_borracho unfortunately my bike days are over but I’d happily drive the support van.
