If you want a big tourer like that, you have two IMO to choose from,Harley excluded, and they would be the Honda Goldwing or the BMW K1200GT. The latest BMW has a hydraulic centre stand so it is even easier to park. They both have reverse, cruise, cd,4 speaker stereo....etc etc. Both are awesome and both are very very comfy for both rider and pillion. Heaps of storage on both. I have ridden both and recomend you try both before you buy.

And they handle suprisingly well for a big bike. Wayne Gardner rode one 2yrs back at snowy ride and f me can he ride. He left a heap of ppl behind on the goldwing it was really funny. Ppl on smaller quicker bikes couldn't keep up with him.

I'll vote for the Bundy and Cola cans Mick. SA is great. Don't know about Adelaide(I/we aren't into city life), but the country life is a great life for kids/family etc.

Dazza, the BMW sounds good. Dave n I aren't really worried bout speed, mainly comfort on long trips. Also economy on fuel.

Do you reckon he could give ghostrider a run for his money ?
One of the guys I ride with owns one. Has about 110,000plus k's on it and still looks and runs like new. He has helmet to helmet intercom so he and his missus can chat all the way while they crank out th tunes on the cd. Pretty awesome for that style of bike. I also think the BMW looks much better. They are like sitting in an armchair in your lounge.

It's a DVD about a guy in Sweden? or somewhere like that that is just a speed freak on a bike. I mean he rides in peak hr,although on what appears to be conecting higways, his bike a total of 68kms in under 15mins. His average speed is like 273km/h, that average speed. Top speed is maxed out at about 300km/h. He rides between trucks and cars, like over the white lines, at over 280k's. He rides a turbo hyabusa with over 400horses and pops the front wheel up over a rise at over 320clicks. I mean the guy is s nut bag. Very funny when he plays with thecops though.

Wow! that ghost rider sounds like an utter nutter! Mick you would like Adelaide, its like a really big Country Town. Plenty to do and see, like coming up to Renmark or a lot of other places on the Murray. Plenty of fishing up the coastal areas, etc, etc. You can do anything in Adelaide that you can do in Brissie, just on a smaller scale. If you take the job, try and get a house in the Northern subs, or up in the Adelaide hills etc

You should take some time off and go and stay there for a bit, look at the weather temps for a year etc. That way you can suss out where you would like to live and what sort of weather to expect. I noticed it was a very dry heat which is much nicer than humidity.
