Made it to Canberra

Post by Aussie Ninja »

As the title suggest I rolled into Canberra Friday afternoon with my scoot in tow. While cleaning my baby this morning I discovered one of the tiedowns has rubbed a decent sized whole in the paint on my swingarm and scratched up my ducktail :evil: NOT HAPPY JAN! and what makes it worse I can't blame anyone but myself. Sh!t happens I guess. Any fellow Canberrans up for a run next weekend :?: Almost forgot, I stopped off at the Australian National Motorcycle Museum on the way. So there were good things about the trip too. :)

Any photos of said museum? Oh and glad you made it, bummer about the paint work :( Next time put rags under the tiedowns. All easy in hindsight of course...

Hi Aussie, welcome to the Porn and Fireworks capital of Oz :P .

Bad luck about the bike mate, but at least its only superficial...

If you are up for a ride next weekend, only too happy to arrange such with the other locals, we can give you a bit of a 'tour' around the hot-spots..... :D

Great photos of the Museum.......he has done a *bit* more work to the place since my last visit :shock: - There is a framed poster I donated to the place years ago - it was a centrespread from the pommie MCN, when it was a 'broadsheet' - the first colour poster of Jarno Sarinnens water-cooled TZ350 yammie 2-stroke (engine only)......its hanging' on the walls there somewhere :?

cheers 8)
