Author Message   Joesbuell Posted on Monday, November 16, 2009 - 05:39 pm:        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   Okc99 Posted on Monday, November 16, 2009 - 05:51 pm:        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   Okc99 Posted on Monday, November 16, 2009 - 05:52 pm:        Also, tell us where you got that cool camera mount. I may need to update my Xmas list.   Kellaupat Posted on Monday, November 16, 2009 - 06:01 pm:        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!   Nevrenuf Posted on Monday, November 16, 2009 - 06:11 pm:        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.   Joesbuell Posted on Monday, November 16, 2009 - 06:20 pm:        Sorry fella's! Sorry not Greek I'm an Australian you know Down Under Mates are good friends and a good friend is not paid Camera mount comes with the Go Pro Hero camera, I have this camera on loan from a matehttp://www.goprocamera.com/ It's called registration label in Oz, must be mounted on the rear or left side of the vehicle...well it's on the left. If I was on the right here I be in a world of hurt! Does this help? http://maps.google.com.au/maps/ms?hl=en&ie=UTF8&ms a=0&msid=111551365957565448054.0004788510e1c0b43f8 de&z=6 here's my cam test http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QObgHIG_j1A   Joesbuell Posted on Monday, November 16, 2009 - 06:22 pm:        Thanks Neil we had a ball on the Uly...apart from the riding in the rain! The XBtuba is getting it's first track outing on the 11th December! Can't wait I'll post pic's and maybe video of that!   Joesbuell Posted on Monday, November 16, 2009 - 06:30 pm:        This is the Gillies Hwy, Awesome in the dry I was following a fellow Bueller from Cairns. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Du9OWO80BuI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Pz6EM9l6Io   Joesbuell Posted on Monday, November 16, 2009 - 06:31 pm:        Here's the coast road from Port Douglas to Cairns would have been better with out all the tourists!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Pz6EM9l6Io   Johnboy777 Posted on Monday, November 16, 2009 - 08:25 pm:        Hey Jodie, Great videos. BTW, the bike on your Profile Page is very cool - did you build that bike? John   Nevrenuf Posted on Monday, November 16, 2009 - 08:25 pm:        oh yeah joe, we all know what a walkabout is from the dundee movies but would you call this a rideabout.   Joesbuell Posted on Monday, November 16, 2009 - 10:44 pm:        Thanks and Yes John the bike in my profile is my Mutant S3/S1/XB custom. The whole story is within these links. Grab some beers and enjoy it may take a while http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/476 23/224086.html http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/476 23/277358.html Cheers Jodie It was a rideabout   Joesbuell Posted on Tuesday, November 17, 2009 - 01:08 am:        http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHeXDos60us   Surfsofa Posted on Tuesday, November 17, 2009 - 11:27 am:        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.   88b Posted on Tuesday, November 17, 2009 - 01:09 pm:        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   Joesbuell Posted on Tuesday, November 17, 2009 - 08:06 pm:        Thanks Simon and Dave I'm already wanting to go back! hope to go back in June or July next year not be so wet then!   Two_buells Posted on Wednesday, November 18, 2009 - 01:20 am:        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
