oh my god
So where we off to today? We're headed to Jenlone Caves and it's fricking cold. It's
13 degrees and 9 o'clock in the morning and suddenly it's gotten really foggy
and cloudy and a little bit wet and a little bit cold but anyway, we're gonna
push through that because this is gonna be a nice ride. Why? Cuz I don't know just is
Hitting Mount Victoria now and oh my god, it's still cold. It's starting to warm
up but it's still freaking cold I forgot the Blue Mountains are really cold.
I think you're in trouble dude!
Don't look over the cliff. Don't look!
All right, back home via Oberon.
Oh those brakes stink. Someone's been giving that Subaru a hard time.
It goes this way. It goes that way.
Oh my god.
What mode is this in?
Standard. I've never...I don't even put it in A. There's no point.
It's jittery enough as it is.
Oh my god, the gears are up so high.
Oh
Well this is different
Gary's let me have a ride of his XJR 1300. It's quite a few more cc's than mine
that's for sure but inline four-cylinder, carbureted, a
very different feel that's for sure.
I can't remember what year model this is I have
to ask him but definitely leaning over a lot more that's for sure definitely not
the upright I'm used to.
We just had a burger
at The Tin Shed lovely it was really nice actually no it was the food was
really good, people really nice,
very accommodating for motorcyclists
recommend that one definitely.
I actually have no idea what gear I'm in.
I think I'm in
fourth
It's always nice to ride someone else's bike, just to kind of give you some
renewed perspective of your own bike and I love my bike, this is nice this is nice
and very cruisey, but yeah, I love my bike. I want it back!
It's weird being a five-speed
I sort of I thought I was gonna expect to be wanting to grab another gear but
the fifth is quite obviously an overdrive.
It's really weird cuz it's a four-cylinder right so you're feeling a
lot more revs and I guess I'm just used to my old FZ6 where it was all
gutless torque and then all the power on the top end but this has a lot of torque
more than you expect in a four-cylinder but and that's just purely because it's
it's a 1300 and it's got heaps of cc's.
It gives you that weird sensation that
you're accelerating very very easily.
I was thinking this is an old bike but then
I look down, fifteen thousand Km's on the clock it's actually got half the K's that mine does.
I've already done like 32,000 K's on my bike.
Tell you what, I've been riding this for 15-20 minutes now,
oh, my back is freaking killing me.
Such an old man
like, it actually hurts. This is leaning over position and I know it's just because
I'm not used to it so I'm probably yeah just not sitting right or something I
don't know
I do like that my bikes is a little more upright
there is no chance of having any fun through here afternoon I think.
This traffic
It is really smooth through the corner.
unlike that gear change!
Definitely had not anticipated traffic on this drive but here we go
and I'm not on my bike. I just remembered when I had that completely
unco moment. Oh this is, is very sucky way to finish the day.
Now I reckon if you've spent a fair amount of time sitting on someone else's bike
and you get back on your bike and you're in love with it even more,
that's a sign that's it's a pretty damn good bike. That's what I reckon.
I freaking love this bike!
I mean it's it's just so getting back on
it again was just so comfortable and just so easy and I think yeah half of
that is to do with the fact that it's my bike and I've been riding a few years
and you know what it's like but the other half I think is because of the
bike yeah the bike itself is just such an
easy bike to control. It's such a, it's just such a...
it's just such a highly usable bike
It's just it does everything.
Anyway today's been really
nice a long day I'm exhausted and but it's been a really really nice ride so
anyway, I'm off, stay safe, have fun, see you guys bye.
this is a 64 gig card by the way and I've got like minutes left on it and
take I think it just filled up
