    Cool Roc! But you need to get some speed in your next vid!
    HAHAHA!
    So how fast (mph) are you going when you get it cooking?
    And how come you are the only one who is going that fast on a bike?
    RIDE ON!

      Roc, YOU'RE ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE ROAD!!!!

      Good riding. Unlike you, I am a big wimp when it comes to tree shadows on the road that you were riding through. Many moons ago in CA I was riding through similar shadows on curvy roads and couldn't see the diesel fuel spill on the road. If no shadows, it sticks out, but the shadows camo it too much. It was a nightmare since then and I didn't ride for about 18 years. Now for the last 5 years I ride all year round in all weather, except ice.

      Be careful out there.

        Geez, During that whole trip not one Kaola Bear, Kangaroo, platypus, funnel spider or white shark.

        I thought those things ran wild over there....

          Very nice, looks like fun. Biggest thing I've ever been on is a 250cc Honda. Once the kids get older and I have time for another hobby I'll probably get on a real bike.

                  To many big bad harleys for any natives to be out, but hey I'm on the critters side, I didn't wanna be near the harleys either.

                  I may have hit 100mph for an instant when I jumped those 4-5 harleys in 1 hit. I was being a little bit conservative around that pack cause I knew there were about 20 of them, they all pulled out from the same locale I took off from. I watch'm pull out about 10min before I left, they all appeared to be grandaddies. I was say'n to myself comon who's it gonna be, who's it gonna be and sure enough 1 of them had dropped his horse before he'd even got out of his parking spot.
                  Managed a quick stoppy as I pulled in behind the front running harley though.
                  Sorry Spin, no other taker for a hot ride that day and beleive you me, I looked.

                  Ya! those shadows do taint things a bit with those sun rays beaming through. Its a matter of knowing the road, but yer I agree its alway better to err on the side of caution in those situations.

                    Trust me Alan! She's all about the arachnids! She brings home books on a different species of spider every other week, whenever there's something to do with spiders on Animal Palnet or Discovery, she's glued to the set!! Had a loooong talk with her about the Funnel web beasty, she kept trying to compare it to the Black Widow and Fiddle Back, and after some talking and research on her part, she's knows more about it than I care to think about. Don't get me started on her fascination with the Bird eaters!!!

                        I used to ride a Harley (about 6-7 years ago) and my mate still rides. We have a 1990 Fatboy and a '95 Roadking. I'll try to dig up a picture or video to post online. The drive through your Aussie park reminded me of some of the rides I've been on here in the States.

                        (And, between you and me, most of these new-age Harley riders simply get in the way when they're on the road... just meandering down the hwy at 50 mpg... as though there's nobody else on the road.)

                            :
                            metaldad, thanks for asking. Right now it is at a very popular boxing gym. The owner said as long as it stays there, I can go there for free. It is a mixture of boxing lessons mixed in with boxing aerobics, better known as torture. I'm the oldest person there and get in about 3 classes a week.

                            I modified the RBT so it can go on auto mode or the arms can be fired at any sequence by buttons. Last night I used it on 3 of the real boxers there and they really liked it. The owner asked if I could keep on using it on the boxers. At least one is a pro, some are golden gloves and some just more serious. Tomorrow night I'll use it on more boxers. Even with them, with the RBT at a lower speed, because it does not telegraph, they have trouble stopping it. You really have to be focused on the arms, if not, BAM!

                            Roc, I LOVE "Ride On" by AC/DC. Thanks for posting it.

                            MsDeville, a REAL bagger. Not only hits them but rides them. What a woman!
