I'm posting this here as I don't think it got viewed in other thread The Mrs and I have just returned from a 9 day riding trip to Far North Queensland. We did a total of 4861klm and my 7 month old Uly has just clocked over 17274k's. I love this bike It so comfy! The day before we left myself and 2 mates road out to Morgan and Wackers in Brisbane to pick up my side and top cases. We fitted them in no time around at Doug's. Here's my baby with the newly fitted luggage. here's the maps from the trip From Kingaroy to Cairns with overnight stay at Rockhampton. Most of our riding once we arrived in Cairns done in the wet!!!! The Gilles Hwy is a stretch of road 19klms long and has 220 corners! just brilliant. Here's some video's the Mrs edited. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3fCdmdWLVM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UR9X2xO0VF0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNyid9LXf3Y More video to come Cheers Jodie |

Jodie, It's like your talking in Greek! What are these strange klm's to which you refer? And I don't recognize the map. Are you in Maine? What are "mates"? Are they like paid helpers? Please translate |

Also, tell us where you got that cool camera mount. I may need to update my Xmas list. |

Hey I like where you put your inspection sticker. (If that's what it is) Clever idea. Mine practically looks like a bumper sticker on my forks. Video is nice, but the driving on the wrong side of the road freaks me out! |

nice jodie. glad to hear that you and your wife are enjoying the uly. as far as i'm concerned, it's a great two up bike for getting around the curves. i'm sure it won't ever replace the xbtuber but that just means that you don't have to put all those miles on the other one. keep the vids coming. |

Beautiful. Brought back some very good memories there. I did Cairns to Brisbane in a camper van 5 years ago and loved it down there (I'm a Brit). The Millaa Waterfall Circuit is gorgeous and I can imagine must be awesome on a Uly. Hope to get back down there someday. |

looks like a great trip, that's some serious mileage ( kilometerage ? ) in 7 months. I've got to get to Australia soon, at least you drive on the same side as us |

Jodie, Great ride on a Uly. Like your other bike also. I had a Uly and traded it on a 1125r I had a S1 and sold it. I have a S3 also that I'd like to turn into a S1 |
