Yes Sir, you can have the luxury edition!

Stuart has bought a new (well, nearly new...) bike for this year's planned road trip. While I love the Street Triple dearly, even I'm stretching credibility to call it a tourer for Shafted's weekend jaunts to nowhere.



The bike was brought privately after a failed eBay auction - the Seller was relocating interstate and couldn't justify the freight cost to the West. It has colour-mathced panniers and top box, (dodgy) ABS and a stereo.



The handling is pretty good considering the mass, and last weekend it got the Pillion's 'stamp of approval' after a ride to Healseville for lunch. A small sub-committee (two - me and Giles) has been formed to plan a road trip to head north through central VIC, NSW and QLD and maybe a return down the coast.
