Most Barnes and Nobles stores stock it; Borders will order it, but does not stock it. Amazon also has it.

I think you'll find it as close to the middle as one can get!

Shane-o, you are a master at pot-stirring. I'll bet you used to lob beehives around just for fun when you were a kid, didn't you?

Guys, remember that shane-o is very bright and also extremely mischievous. And he wouldn't have gotten such a hot response if there weren't at least a grain of truth in what he said. Or, at the very least, if we Yanks weren't afraid that there was a grain of truth. (Phew, covered my :arse: there.)

Shane-o, for penance I think you should have to ride the bike you admire so much, a Harley--Electra Glide, I'd say--from Sydney to Perth, in full leathers, with skull tattoos and a huge patch that says "Helmet Laws and Metrics SUCK" on your back. Be sure you go past your place of employment in both directions.

Does Australia even manufacture any bikes? :P :twisted:


of course we do

the challenge for you is, tell me what it they are called and who designed them


thats right just the one manufacturer that I know of, but they are killer bikes very expensive.

Sounds like they took a page from the US book, mate. Except that we now have 2, with Victory in the mix.

And perusing the list Blues provided: what in the hell is that Monsta Trike? Looks like a Harley trike mated with a dune buggy . . . :laughing:
