Motivation is wonderful. Got this Xj750D JDM only bike over a year ago. 21,000km from new. In last 2 days it now runs like a clock and have started minor panel repairs. Bike is visually identical to my Xj650 turbo which is on hysteric rego. I have spent a year scared to touch it in case I ruined it.

As an Ipswichian, this seems too perfect to be true; it is, however, very plausible.

#motorcycle #camping #Australia Great weekend away. I've been ill for last 18 months or so. Fantastic first trip out. Bike ran like a clock. Camp-fire cooked pork and jacket potatoes to universal acclaim. It was great to be back and catch up with mates. Thanks Warwick Ulysses club.

Been about a year since I've been in the shed. Motivation hit and 2 days later have Gsx1400 and sidecar at first mock-up using only bits in shed. Lost nearly 18 months from a bad tooth poisoning me. Brush your teeth people.

My kids, when growing up and still, say "Bloody John Howard" whenever things go wrong. My Grandkids say "Bloody Pauline Hanson". I can't imagine where they picked up on this. Kids vote Green, with Labor as number 2. Grandkids are looking up protest days in Ipswich and Brisbane for a day off school.

Dealing with NDIS on my granddaughter's behalf, who is non-verbal, causes me more stress than any other thing in my very complicated life. I called them to ask a generic question about the complaint procedure, they hung up. Any questions are treated as attacks. They ask for respect and give none.

Epic ride across Australia on Honda CT110 motorcycles. Will and mates did 14 years ago. An hour well spent if you appreciate the fun of riding inappropriate motorcycles in places the designers never imagined. #motorcycle #australia #adventure #epichttps://youtu.be/06e54MeWkOo?si=7Moz8F5SsaB_82Dr

I encourage people to vote Green first, Labor 2nd we are a safe Labor seat. Just to make sure Greens get paid, same with Democrats. I like most of what the Greens say the Lefts however are stuck with, Anything not 100% in party line is taken as EVIL heresy and must be destroyed.

This is the problem with Labor in Australia. Been a Union guy since 1980, i was Father of the Chapel at a newspaper. Labor has been steadily pulling away for a long time. Compared to every other current choice they are the only choice. If I ever find a party I agree 100% I will know i am in a cult.

I decided to see how many pictures I had of weird bikes I have built over the last 40+ years. Software hit the limit at 100 with quite a few to go. Show me your builds.

WTF is wrong with labor at the moment, they are losing me and I have been a Labor voter (mostly did vote Democrats for a while) for over 45 years. Trump is deranged and changes his mind based on what the TV tells him. Totally untrustworthy. Tax the Rich, Stop punishing the poor.

Sidecar Dave @sidecardave.bsky.social · 30/04/2026

Trump puts his name on everything but not the Torpedo. I wonder why?

I have cracked it. How an Orange thief and liar managed to fool a nation. I blame Dora the Explorer, they normalised Swiper a known villain and creature who steals and lies constantly and yet is accepted by a diverse range of communities.

I bought my first new car in 16 years after a quote to repair my Honda Odyssey (14.5 l per 100km) was over $6000. I Got a 26MY Chery Tigo 4 Hybrid. (4.5 l per 100km) for $28000 drive away full tank of guzzoline. I have done 6000 km so far so saved about 600 litres. Bet part of a grand. No plug in.

I keep waiting for the cyber attack on American infrastructure. But it seems everyone has decided that just leaving Trump in charge is the most effective method of dismantling the U.S. hegemony.

We are currently in Mad Max 1 Life is fairly normal, but people are about to start hijacking petrol tankers, police force starting to militarise. Toilet paper still available.

I think the Mad Max movies have it covered.

#motorcycle #sidecar #lapz #Ipswich #hotrod Ipswich Queensland Australia has a tradition dating back at least 80 years of doing laps of the main streets on Friday and Saturday night. It has become an organised event in recent years. Took Grandaughter in for her Lapz. Getting ready for Toyrun.

America you knew what he was. You knew what he did. You knew he would rig the voting. You knew he never paid his bills. You let him get away with it. Evil uses him as a puppet, you knew this. None else in the world is surprised by anything he does. You failed. We are sick of hearing about it.

#motorcycle #camping #food Camping over weekend lovely big firepit. Did a big lump of lamb wrapped in alfoil in firepit Friday night. Saturday mate showed up with huge pumpkin. Sidecar people are built differently. Had left over lamb, a pumpkin and a firepit. Only one logical choice. Very yummy.

#motorcycle #custom #MadMax #MFP Built a few specials over the years. Original Mad Max movie police cars had a great colour scheme. Main Force Patrol. MFP more than just the Black on Black and Goose bike. Not having any Kwakas I built mine on ex-police yamahas, La Pariseanne Fairings movie correct.
