Hi Folks
Picked up my 2012 Retro from Skol in Sydney last Wednesday & rode the 18oo km home over the next 4 days, not big mileage days, but froze my n...s off. I must thank Skol for escorting me out of Sydney as I would definitely ended up lost, & also to compliment him on setting up this rig, as this has to be the sweetest outfit I have ever ridden, no yawling at all & she pulls like a 14 year old up the hills. The Power Arc & VOES switch certainly showed their value coming up the Putty Road & through the hills around Tamworth etc.
On close inspection I discovered I have one of those faulty rear rims, cracks showing......... must get onto John ASAP.
Lots of runs planned for 2014 & as soon as I have my other ankle fused I will be out & about, hope we can catch up in the near future.
Cheers Blairy

Glad to hear you made it home safe. 400 to 600 a day is plenty on these rigs when you are on a long ride. Very surprised to think that a new rim was cracking after only a couple of K.

The outfit had 9500 km on it when I brought it....................... I think I was just unlucky to get one of the faulty batch from 2012 but apparently Jon is very good to deal with........
