Also a bit of a plug for the club from Jeff Ware and a short writeup of a long distance blat on an 06 busa.

What's the "Long distance" story say??? I'd be interested to compare. I rode my 04 from Brisbane to Melbourne last January when I moved. I was pretty loaded up but the old girl never missed a beat. I had about 150kg of gear + 100kg of me.

That's the difference between a real road bike and a 600-750cc wannabe
load up a small bike with a heap of gear, put the missus on the back and it will struggle up the hills.
I once rode a 1100cc from Alice springs via Melbourne to Albury, then to a mate wedding in Brisbane, then to Sydney, carrying everything for the two of us to live for a month, and the old girl just sung. (all our worldly possessions were in a moving van) - left the territory on the double ton! - Those were the days, I was in Darwin 2 days ago and sad to say that the de-restiction signs are gone, replaced with 130kmph speed signs.

Pubes and cubes - just cant beat em.
