Checking out the R in a POWDERS check.
As I have grown older, I've learned that pleasing everybody is impossible, but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.

New for 2018, please welcome the Boxer Australia.

Interesting skid / grind mark at the front?
And the topbox was open before it flipped?
V confusing.

I told you a top box could upset the handling!
Correct rear brake use is scientifically proven to shorten stopping distances in EVERY road situation.

In the demo they said put your back into it and lift so I did.
Its not always the destination that counts its the ride, having a destination just stops you going round in circles.

...maybe that's how to change the tyres without employing any of them fancy lift things...?
