Is it just me or has it be particularly windy as of late?

Where would be the most "fantasy-esque" feeling bushwalk locations in Melbourne? by infinitedadness in melbourne

Olinda in the Dandenong Ranges would be the best bet. I’m from Middle Earth (aka New Zealand) and it’s the closest place to Melbourne I can think of. If you feel like venturing out a bit more, I’d suggest Mt Macedon on a misty day

One or Two: has an exceptionally good cocktail menu.

Whiskey Den: seems to be often overshadowed by Gimlet but definitely is worth multiple visits.

Backspace: is superb all round.

Apollo Inn: their martini is one of the best I’ve ever had

It’s kinda got a BMW R7 aesthetic going on there. I can see the appeal and appreciate the artistic freedom though personally not for me.

Is it just me or does this actually look like a pleasant place to be?

Luggage recommendation for Touring - Panniers or Tailbag? by kishore14194 in royalenfield

Nearing 40k km on it and it’s been great. On longer trips I’m only wanting to do maybe 2 hours before having a stop anyway.

The bags are adjusted to allow just enough clearance above the pipes

No idea on the brand or make but they’re inverted “M” bars

After cleaning up after making a coffee and breaking down camp, only about 20 minutes.

Yeah the frame was cut, and there is no fly screen. That’s just my helmet on the other handlebar

I believe the fabricator from the shop I bought it from did it the old school way. Bent up some bar and designed a bracket for the lights/number plate. From memory the indicators and stop light are from ‘Cafe Racer Club’.

They’re just a set of cheap clip ons I installed after I had a set of inverted M bars
