Duncan & Cindy Bennett Editor’s Report
The southern continent beckons. No, not this continent, nor the other two. We mean the other one, where everyone speaks Spanish, apart from about half who don’t. Perhaps we should have just started with “South America beckons”, but we got there in the end. The first noticable change will be no adventure motorcycles in the carport. Around the 24th of this month, with new tyres and a big service and minimal fuel, onto a truck they all go. One exception - the award winning, best in class, best in show R1200C. Every disparaging remark ever made about it is taken back, of course it is the ultimate compromise motorcycle; lane filtering on the way to work, coffee mornings, luncheons, photo shoots, it can and must do it all. James B 007 managed to jump it over a helicopter with a pillion, admittedly that is entry level stuff for anyone tackling “The Bruce” when the Tradies are rolling, but the ridiculous torque and sweet boxer notes should see us through okay.
