What’s interesting is that the Roctane is 20kgs heavier than my model due to the fixed bags and the Roctane having metal f&r guards, not plastic.
That red rocks!

I remove my side case on my Model B when I change the bevel gear fluid; that said, the case is surprisingly heavy - it's definitely heavier than it looks.. oh wait, I'm lazy so I probably left all of my "stuff" in the removed side case.

Have in mind is a difficult pass for the 400 kilos to handle, if you are going to come from Englad to do this one! You need all the time to look on what is going on in front and behind you, all the the time you need to be a step foward about what is going To Happen in front of you! One more thing I was alone, no one on the rear seat, which is adding to the balance of the motorcycle, also I will suggest to go up, then going down, I think this is going to gives you better control over momentum! Yes you are going to use a lot of clutch an throttle, but is better than to use your brakes all the time, plus clutch and throttle. At least that is only my opinion and you do not need to take it for granted! Me I stop 3 times until the end, to recollect my self.
 
My in-laws live in Applecross, Western Australia. A flat suburb full of high end homes and is located next to the Swan River.

If I ever get the chance to do that ride it will be with the wife on the back seat, otherwise I
would not be allowed back home
 
Luckily for me, my wife oshe do not has the spirit of adventure anymore unfortunately! She only prefers our car! So in this way I get my 2 days off from work and from her. :) :cool:🏍️
 
These bikes are gorgeous in a classic, timeless way. I don’t get why the prices are tanking atm. Such a nice alternative to the Harleys and Indians, which are great in their own ways.

Just remember the $000’s that USA made bikes get spent on them that they never get back!
Do they care or do they just enjoy their machines… just as we should. I absolutely love my bike and wouldn’t swap it for any H or I on the market.
