Protest Rally

Melbourne CBD was briefly transformed into Motorcycle Central this afternoon when like minded riders congregated to express their displeasure with the finger pointing SMIDSY attitude rife amongst many motorists.

As all riders know........Sorry Mate I Didn't See You.........is a red rag to a bull.........for any cagers reading this.....don't do it......if you do......don't say SMIDSY.........just a heads up.......

The Victorian State Government along with TAC are eluding to legislation which will make it mandatory for all motorcyclists to be legally required to wear hi-viz clothing and display a forward facing number plate.....these two laws, according to the decision makers, will prevent SMIDSY's and keep riders safe........hhhmmmmm.,.........okay then?

There was a large turnout - everyone was very well behaved.......they stood quietly.....listened intently......and parked politely.......after everything was said and done a Protest Rally departed A'Beckett Street for laps of Melbourne CBD in attempt to be seen and heard by the public.......yes......riders are out there on the roads.......please look for us.....no more SMIDSY.......

Squid

I made a few more adjustments to the FatDuc this afternoon...........of course I wanted to test out the feel of the slightly leaner fuelling......

I had the Fly lid with me and the bike key - I was not ATGATT - but the urge was there.

My daily shoe is my Redback boots which are pretty robust - other than that I had a hoodie and pair of cargo's on.........but meh - just around the block eh?

Let it be known - I have NEVER ridden squid before, nor do I endorse it........but man! It felt freaking good!

I don't know why - I really can't explain it - But the feeling of being on the bike in total comfort without restricted mobility was amazing!

Not something I intend on practising on a regular basis.....I am definitely an advocate of ATGATT but hell.....being Squid felt gooooooood

/* PS - the leaner fuelling has all but eliminated the backfire on the over-run and has improved throttle response*/
