We ride with Schberth C3/C3W with their SRC setup and we all(3 riders and our pillions) can communicate... Makes the ride more fun, we can talk or isolate at will... Great for when we need to update things or point out things along the route.....

We use a bit of a hotch-potch set-up, looking to upgrade to The Schberth system, did you get yours locally or from overseas?

For all you lads with your Jap toys, here are a couple of REAL motorbikes. They are all 1940 vintage, and although the owners proudly reeled off the details of each one, I failed to write them down, so apart from the make, not sure about the rest.

Thanks, I have seen some for sale on other forums, I was just curious if there was a dealer here.

ARW,
Most of the bikers I know are not on the forum. I've seen at least one email showing interest in a ride tomorrow.
Unfortunately I cannot manage as I've just arrived in Vietnam for work.
Can you reply to my P.M. or send me an email and I will forward details.
Cheers,
GN.

Harley enters the electric motorcycle market...

Article with video here: https://autos.yahoo.com/blogs/motoramic ... 39752.html

I love the sound of a gas Harley. When you hear one coming, you know what it is before it comes into view. This one sounds like a Jet... :shock:
My brain is like an Internet browser; 12 tabs are open and 5 of them are not responding, there's a GIF playing in an endless loop,... and where is that annoying music coming from?

I have a feeling this may get the same response as Dylan did when he went electric. Pretty innovative though.
