what’s he blabbing on about now?

I’ve been a travellin’ man the past month, visiting Japan for the Metzeler launch you’ll read about in this issue and Malaysia for a Pirelli launch, as well as watching the world Superbike round at Sepang. I got to ride two very famous racetracks – Fuji Speedway and Sepang. Around the back part of Fuji Speedway there are remains of the original high speed banking and I was lucky to meet a Japanese fellow (whose name I forgot) who is a bit of a Fuji Speedway legend, having won there three times back in the day. When I mentioned to him that he is a legend, he said, “No. No legend, but I go okay”. He was an awesome guy and could still punt a motorcycle quite well. I was…

what’s he blabbing on about now?

GRIZZLING RIGHT ALONG I know, I know, you’re sick of my grizzling about the lack of representation of motorcycles in official traffic planning and safety initiatives. So I won’t grizzle about the lack of precisely that in the UN-backed Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) ’s High Level Panel for Road Safety. This panel, which appears to concern itself mainly with raising funds (to pay for yet another bureaucracy?), has some 30 members and advisers including the Chairman of Volvo, actress Michelle Yeoh and the CEO of Coca-Cola. Motorcycle-savvy members are… well, is, actually. There’s only one, and while I appreciate Vito Ippolito, the President, Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme, as much as the next rider does, I do note that his concerns would be about the track, not the road. So…

THE NEXT BIG THING? Nissin DIG-T R engine Nissan Motor Company has built a 3-cylinder, 1.5 litre turbocharged engine that weighs a mere 40kg and produces a whopping 400hp! Even if it was in a detuned state, this would be the kind of performance only seen in MotoGP. Measuring just 500mm tall, 400mm long, and 200mm wide this compact package could easily be adopted for a motorcycle frame. At this stage it has been designed to compete in the FIA World Endurance Championship (cars). Could this be the future of motorcycle engines? We’ll have to wait and see… ON THE MOVE Dubbelju’s new digs Motorcycle renters love Dubbelju (pronounce it “double-you”) in San Francisco.

TRIUMPH T120 BONNEVILLE

“I SHIVERED… WHEN I HEARD THE VOICE OF THE SALT IN THE DESERT.” PABLO NERUDA It is no accident that two of Triumph’s most famous models carry American names. The Thunderbird, named by Edward Turner after an image on a totem pole, and the Bonneville, named after the salt flats, reflect the fact that for many years it was the US that bought more Triumphs than any other country. I suspect that much of the effort that has gone into this new version of the Bonnie has been directed at conquering America once again. I also suspect that this attempt will be successful. The new Bonneville matches the requirements the Americans have: good low-down torque, cool styling and a famous name. It offers a lot more, and that is good…

WHERE TO GO IN WINTER

In Australia, winter is actually a good time to go touring – especially the further north you go. Temperatures are temperate though distances are distant [stop this nonsense at once – the Editor] and the weather is kind. Winter is generally considered to be May to October, which is both cooler and dry than the rest of the year. But down south where most of us live, winter is still considered a good time to do a bit of maintenance on the bike and plan the next season’s rides. Well, we’re here to help you along a bit. By the way, the first move once you decide you want to ride anywhere in Australia is to get hold of a Hema Maps Australia Motorcycle Atlas, which has many of the…

WHERE TO GO IN WINTER

“Bear,” writes my mate Peter Colwell, “My office walls are littered with small (carryable) memorabilia collected from near and far. I’m sure you have something similar. “It occurred to me that the Bear Army members are mostly travellers and many have fascinating stories to tell. So why not tell them in pictures?” “This is just a thought bubble, if the idea appeals to you at all, I’m sure we could all come up with some great stories and pictures. A sort of nostalgic section? Maybe a page of the sort of stuff I have attached for perusal. “Just a thought... but it would be quite unique as most bike rags are all about the latest and greatest. As I said, a thought bubble, burst it if you like... “Cheers, Peter.…

METZELER ROADTEC 01

Metzeler launched its new sport touring tyre, the Roadtec 01, in Europe about a month ago and it was Asia/Pacific’s turn to sample this technologically advanced tyre in its elements. From Australia, only we and AMCN were invited to the launch at Fuji Speedway in Japan. The weather gods turned on just the mix that Metzeler was after - some rain and some dry. Thankfully the road riding was the wet part and the sessions we had on the track were dry. We also got to do a wet slalom course and wet braking test on the Fuji Speedway test area, which really highlighted just how good this tyre is. I came away after the launch thinking that what the new Metzeler Roadtec 01 offers is just what the vast…

HARLEY - DAVIDSON IRON 883

“AS IRON SHARPENS IRON, SO A FRIEND SHARPENS A FRIEND.” KING SOLOMON Harley-Davidson’s Iron 883 has been a stalwart of the brand for many years now and its popularity as an urban cruiser that’s easy to manage is what makes it so popular. We haven’t looked at the Iron 883 closely for a number of years as the model really hasn’t changed, so we decided to freshen you and ourselves up on what it’s like to ride. Being compact with a relatively short, 1515mm wheelbase the 883 Iron is nimble, much more nimble than just about any other cruiser on the current market. It is also fitted with decent front and rear suspension, which soaks up crappy roads well. The rear twin-shocks are preload adjustable if you feel you need…

INDIAN SPRINGFIELD

WE LIVE,WE DIE, AND LIKE THE GRASS AND TREES, RENEW OURSELVES FROM THE SOFT EARTH OF THE GRAVE. STONES CRUMBLE AND DECAY, FAITHS GROW OLD AND THEY ARE FORGOTTEN, BUT NEW BELIEFS ARE BORN.THE FAITH OF THE VILLAGES IS DUST NOW... BUT IT WILL GROW AGAIN... LIKE THE TREES.- CHIEF JOSEPH, NEZ PERCE (1840-1904) Indian Motorcycle has been moving forwards at quite a fast rate, considering that only a couple of years ago they (under different management) were hardly to be seen. Brand new engines and platforms have been created and the latest result to be released is the stunning Springfield, named after the location of the original Indian factory (not after the one that’s home to The Simpsons, I think). Stunning? Well, you might think it looks just like…

MEET THE MIGHTY…

Of course there’s nothing new about sidecars on scooters. In the highly irreverent cartoon series which died with REVS magazine years ago, Eric and the giant white koala Douglas terrified the streets, schoolgirls and nuns with their Vespa outfit. But every now and then you do come across something else that’s interesting. In this case, it was a Cezeta scooter fitted with what looked like a home-made sidecar body, and parked in a back street of Old Havana in Cuba. I found it particularly worthy of attention because I used to own a Cezeta scooter. Believe it or not, I can’t remember how I came into its possession, although I suspect it had something to do with an almost-underground workshop I frequented for a while in the early 1990s. I…

TOLD YOU WE WEREN’T KIDDING!

HILLSTON The only town to my knowledge to have its name changed in honour of a publican. This place was originally known as Redbank and the first publican was a bloke from Roto Station named William Hill. He must’ve been a pretty enthusiastic drinker because when he died in 1867, the death certificate gave the cause as, “exhaustion from intemperance”. Two years later they changed the town’s name to Hillston in his honour! This is the birthplace of Toby Price so when you come through raise a glass to this amazing bloke! Today there’s a brace of pubs on the main street and Tattersall’s is far friendlier although often booked out due to seasonal farm workers.

TOLD YOU WE WEREN’T KIDDING!

INTERMOT, the International Motorcycle Show in Cologne, has appointed Australian MOTORCYCLIST Magazine as an official media partner. That’s an honour that no Australian publication has ever received before, and we are suitably chuffed. Naturally we will be attending the 2016 show in October, and we’re doing all we can to encourage others, both the trade and riders, to join us there. It’s a blast, and here’s a (not so secret) tip – the beer is excellent as well. Along with our appointment, the good folk from KoelnMesse, where INTERMOT takes place, also sent us some seriously nostalgic black and white images dating right back to 1964, when the show began as IFMA. We’d like to share some of them with you.…

RIDING THE RANGE

Ask any self-respecting motorcyclist to name a ‘great’ road in Australia and it’s odds on that the Great Ocean Road (GOR) will be the first to get a mention. It is, after-all, world renowned for its scenery and challenging corners. There is however another ‘great’ ride in Victoria that is every bit as beautiful and jaw dropping in its scenery, and not without its challenging corners both fast and slow - The Great Alpine Road (GAR). Stretching for approximately 307km, the GAR (B500) officially begins just outside the northern Victorian provincial city of Wangaratta and winds its way through to the beautiful and stunning township of Bright, ascends the majestic Mount Hotham, and then descends into the Tambo Valley and terminates at Bairnsdale. The guide books will tell you that…

RIDING THE RANGE

I was as happy as Lady Gaga in a meat locker. The Oxley Highway is not a wonderful road for a cruiser at the best of times, but I had just cleaned up a Z1000 in the twisting forested section above the scarp. No doubt the rider would have extracted a terrible revenge, except that Gingers Creek hove into view almost immediately afterwards and I got the Vulcan S and myself off the road just in time. The big Zed slowed only momentarily as it passed, and then flew off in the direction of Walcha, with the rider no doubt muttering “I must pay more attention…” to himself in his helmet. Why am I boasting about seeing off a litre sports bike on a 650cc Learner Approved cruiser? Well, wouldn’t…

“Hipsters”, says the Urban Dictionary, “are a subculture of men and women typically in their 20’s and 30’s that value independent thinking, counter-culture, progressive politics, an appreciation of art and indie-rock, creativity, intelligence… witty banter and old Italian motorcycles, especially Moto Guzzis.” Oh, all right, I lied about the Urban Dictionary’s inclusion of Italian motorcycles. But whether the Dictionary says so or not, it’s true. And what is the most lusted-after Moto Guzzi? That’s not a question with a single answer. But you’ll always hear one or more voices saying simply “the 1000S”. The 1000S sums up one aspect of the Moto Guzzi mythos beautifully. Its classic shape, engine and sound garner respect wherever you go on one, and while they’re not competitive with present-day bikes in any way other…

ANIMALS ON BIKES

Must “scenic attractions” be natural, or can you create them – and if so how? The good folk of Central NSW, between Molong and Dubbo, reckoned you could do it. Not only that, they did it, with 120km of sculptures. Taking its theme from two local attractions, namely Dubbo Zoo and the Mulga Bill Bicycle Festival, Cumnock & District Progress Association launched Animals on Bikes in 2009. It was to be a sculpture trail featuring up to 45 large roadside sculptures on the theme of – yes, animals on pushbikes. The area was suffering from eight years of drought, and everyone needed cheering up. The Progress Association arranged for the local TAFE to offer free welding lessons and “local farmers, farmers’ wives, Men’s sheds, bus drivers, preschool kids, playgroup mums”…

WARREGO HOTEL, FORDS BRIDGE NSW

RATED 4 OUT OF 5 HELMETS Warrego Hotel 16 Aubrey Street Fords Bridge, NSW 2840 Ph: 02 6874 787770 So anyway, everyone and everything seemed to be telling me to head out to the Warrego Pub in Fords Bridge, northwest of Bourke. A few months back I’d been down to Whitton on the ’bidgee to check out the town where old Henry Lawson used to escape the prohibition of 1915 Leeton. He’d been sent there to dry out by Archibald of the Bulletin. But this wasn’t the first time Archibald had dispatched Henry to the bush. In September 1892, this, ‘unfortunate towny, deaf and shy and brooding,’ had been put on the Western Mail train for Bourke at Redfern Station with a one-way ticket and a five quid note in…

SHOEI J.O OPEN FACE HELMET Price - $499. Visors - $79.95 Sizes – XS-2XL Colours – Matt Black, Matt Brown, Off White, Black, Rat Grey, Hawker TC-5 and Carburettor TC-6. Finding just the right open face helmet to suit a variety of needs can sometimes be a pain. You might want one with a visor, but don’t like the range available because of the studs, or non-removability of it; or you might not like the plain open face that offers little protection from the elements without a visor! But those ever so clever people at Shoei have come up with the J.O open face. It combines all the great features of an open face and an open face with a visor, thanks to the internal drop down visor. I had…

EVERYTHING OLD…

In late May every year, on the picturesque banks of Lake Como in Italy, the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este gathers the most exquisite metal of the motorcycle and automotive world. It’s recognized as one of the most exclusive gatherings of classic cars and motorcycles, drawing the biggest collectors of the globe to showcase their most treasured items in front of the jury. And of course the manufacturers put on something special as well… Eighty years ago, BMW presented the BMW R 5 to the public – an exciting new technological development that was to influence motorcycle construction right through to the 1950s. Inspired by the 500cc factory racing machine of 1935, it was one of the ground-breaking sports motorbikes of the late 1930s with its newly designed light frame. To…

KAWASAKI Z125 PRO

You may have seen what is called overseas a “Monkey bike”? A tiny motorcycle usually ridden by trained monkeys for what some might call “entertainment”. But having a small, monkey bike styled motorcycle that is actually legally registerable and brand new from a major manufacturer is something new to the motorcycle scene (in some ways). Honda has taken this market by storm overseas with their new Grom (yet to arrive in Australia) and Kawasaki is the next to hit the market with a fun and believe it or not, practical motorcycle. It’s called the Z125 Pro. If you look at it from the angle that it’s kind of like a small wheeled scooter, yet designed like a motorcycle, that will put it into perspective. Well, except when this monkey (perhaps…

HALF LAP ODYSSEY

Age certainly hasn’t wearied Paul and John, as you will read in the matter-of-fact story that follows. I hope their adventure will encourage other readers to get their own bucket list rides under their belts! I’ll see you out there on the road. PT My good friend John Bristow (67) and I (65) recently returned from a motorcycle trip that has long been on both of our “bucket lists”, around half of this enormous country. The start was in Perth one morning, and we covered 751 kilometres to Norseman quite comfortably without incident on the first day. Day 2 greeted us with misting rain as we headed toward Balladonia. This was one of only two very wet days on the whole trip. Fuel stops were nicely spaced for our bikes…

HALF LAP ODYSSEY

I love writing this kind of stuff for you. Not only because it gives you something to think about (I hope) but also because whenever I do a bit of research around the margins of my subjects, I keep discovering stuff. Strange stuff, fascinating stuff – and sometimes stuff that connects in ways that I would never have expected. Take this article as an example; I began by looking up the definition of Rizoma, which by the way appears to be Spanish rather than Italian. Predictably enough it means rhizome, a kind of root. Then I came across Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari’s Concept of the Rhizome. “Let us summarize the principal characteristics of a rhizome: unlike trees or their roots, the rhizome connects any point to any other point,…

“WE’LL ALL BE ROONED…”

“We’ll all be rooned” is a fairly common cry in the Australian motorcycle industry, especially among retailers. And there is some justice to it. Times currently are not the best, and there have been some even rougher patches in recent years. But it hasn’t really been heard much among motorcycle tour operators – until now. A combination of a low Aussie dollar, low resource prices, pessimism about the economy, government and opposition parties more interested in point scoring than coming up with ideas about the future – and an election, on top of all that – have meant a dearth of bookings. It’s not just motorcycle travel, of course. Travel agency Flight Centre has just issued its third profit downgrade in a row, if I’m not very much mistaken. And…

CARAMBA KARUMBA

Are you still looking for a place to go this winter? Here’s an interesting option. “The Gulf Savannah extends from the Great Dividing Range in the east, to the Northern Territory border in the west – covering around 186,000 square kilometres. On the map, it looks empty. And there are vast flat plains around the southern Gulf area stretching to the south,” the good folks from the Karumba Point Sunset Caravan Park advise me. “To the east and southwest of the region there are rising uplands. Savannah grasses, shrubs and trees along with a rich variety of wildlife makes for a landscape which really is amazing. “The Gulf Savannah has a tropical climate – wet season in the summer and dry season through the winter. The temperatures range from a…

SHOOTING THE BREEZE

“EVERYTHING IN WAR IS VERY SIMPLE. BUT THE SIMPLEST THING IS DIFFICULT.” CARL VON CLAUSEWITZ Most motorcycle gatherings give owners of a particular marque a chance to get together, or they raise funds for a worthy charity, or they give a club an opportunity to entertain other riders. The Bear Army Manoeuvres, held twice a year, do nothing of the sort. We don’t have a roll call either, or keep records of who attends. Well, with one exception: Peter Colwell and Kate have been to all the manoeuvres so far, and we’re keeping an eye on them to see if they can keep that up. What our events do is make it possible for Bear Army Troopers to get together, on a Saturday afternoon and over dinner, to catch up…

Australian BACK ISSUES BACK ISSUES

Several months before my first job in the motorcycle trade at Hazell and Moore in late 1948, I was employed as a telegram messenger boy working out of Sydney’s GPO in Martin Place. During the day shifts I would stroll about the city dropping of telegrams at a large variety of businesses, with the occasional foray to more outlying areas on my PGM pushbike; my ever-faithful, if overly-heavy, Number 465. At night I rode that pushbike all over Sydney, from Garden Island Naval Base in Woolloomooloo to Kings Cross, North Sydney and many inner-city suburbs like Redfern and Darlinghurst, with longer rides at night as far afield as Leichhardt and Summer Hill on several occasions. Those latter suburbs were between some eight to twelve kilometres from Sydney’s CBD. I recall…

They call it an “earworm”; a tune you just can’t get out of your head no matter what you do. If I just mention “Sadie the Cleaning Lady” I’m sure most of you will know exactly what I mean, and will curse me for at least the rest of the day. In my case, although I am far from being a Johnny Horton fan, it is currently “The Battle of New Orleans”. You know… “We took a little bacon and we took a little beans And we caught the bloody British in the town of New Orleans…” Funnily enough, the locals don’t often seem to say “New Orleans” to fit that rhyme. They actually say it in a variety of different ways, but the one I really liked was “N’awlins”.…

As I sat watching the Mugello MotoGP the other night, a few things occurred to me that had nothing, per se, to do with the actual racetrack action. Sure, that was special and glorious, and seeing blokes missile their bikes down the fastest straight in the world at 350km/h is something just otherworldly. But it was the crowd that had me enthralled. More than 100,000 mainly Italians were packed in around one of the most beautiful racetracks on this planet – all of whom were, as they say in the classics “Going off ”. Mugello, if you didn’t know, is in the hills of Tuscany above the magical city of Florence. It’s hilly, green, lush, and it’s the kind of place old rich people keep villas full of teenaged prostitutes…

KIDMAN WAY, NSW. PART 2

Last month we got you halfway up the Kidman Way from Jerilderie to Merriwagga with its black stump. Time to move on from the tallest bar in Australia north to the Qld border (or not!) Merriwagga to Barringun via the Kidman Way. To exit Merriwagga simply head south from the parking meter outside the pub then hang a right and then another back onto the Kidman Way. Don’t start too early as you’re heading into the sun and you’ll notice roadkill which turns some sections into an almost slalom track. You’ll also see the earth turning redder and more vibrant. First town is Hillston and you’ll need to fill up here as it’s 250km to the next bowsers at Cobar. There’s 91 and 98 at the servo at the south…
