Honda Postie bike maybe but probably a C90. Nice job on it. Not sure what the cafe scene in like in the states but it seems to be growing non stop here in Oz (well Perth at least). Pretty hard to pick up an old bunky anymore with hipsters willing to chop the shit out of just about anything to be different. Don't mind it, more people on bikes than there normally would be can only be a good thing. What the hell who doesn't like their beards, tattoos, single origin coffee and neat dress. Been far worse scenes out there.........I'm looking at you Mods.
The best things in life are free........ The second best things are really expensive.
Been a long time for me since returning here, mostly because the annual miles spent on my SD has diminished and, also, I've been able to manage the machine without needing to consult all you local experts
Anyway, finally ticked "Do Wheelies" off my bucket list (if you can say that box is ever truly checked OFF) this past weekend on the SD! The 990 was actually a great one to learn on and continues to surprise me with how versatile it proves to be, whether you tour it, track it, trash it, or stunt it! A real keeper
I know there are threads about wheelies, but since I made a video of me learning, figured post should be in the vid section. Enjoy!

Fun day on a small course in Stockton, CA. They offer a lot of casual (but really helpful and constructive, no BS) feedback. You can rent a bike with a wheelie bar for the whole day, but if you do not want that, you still get to take turns on a wheelie bike and pocket bike when you are not riding your own.
My only critique is that the "sessions" are a bit long (25 minutes) which is great time riding/practicing, however seems like an eternity when your group is on break, sitting and watching others go at it.

Watched this Friday and was thinking how many laps he must of done over the years and the odds catching up to him. He is a legend of the race for sure. Then 2 riders died over the weekend.. such a waste. Feel for the families and emergency response people involved.
