Two Wheels was a popular Australian motorcycle magazine from the 1960’s through to the early 2000’s. Many of their original bike reviews have been digitised. It’s a brilliant historic resource. Highly recommend the site.

Where did my little folding bike take me today? A road closed made for a detour. Shoes off to cross the inlet to walk along a beach to find another road.

The 90 deg V twin 270/450 pulsed firing. The sideways bob when you blip the throttle from the longitudinal mounted crank and flywheel. Brings a smile to my face even before I’ve left the driveway.

Emboldened, work-shy Nazi thugs. They attack defenceless women in our parks. They deliberately commit affray, assault, and issue violent threats. Revoke their bail. Use police, media and bystander footage to lay new charges. Yesterday would have been a good time.

This loser calls the premier a coward. Yet he and his fascist mates attacked defenceless middle aged First Nations women on the weekend in Melbourne. Two women needed to be hospitalised.

Love my bicycling and hiking but I still have a petrol head that’s hard to shake off. It does 5L/100km if that’s any consolation. Moto Guzzi V7 racer 2011.

Despite 78% of West Australians wanting stronger enviro laws, a Labor Premier & Labor PM prioritise fossil fuel companies over Nature and protecting this incredible place for future generations? 🤯🤦♂️ We’ve got state capture of the major parties in 🇦🇺

I thought Alan Kohler was fairly conservative. Yet today he discusses the risks of productivity over equality and social stability. It’s a good read.

As Trump takes charge, we can see the dark side of productivity and growth
In Australia, our woeful productivity lately is a source of puzzled discontent and finger-pointing, especially when compared with the United States. But the dark side has been made clear.

Interesting how perceptions change. When I was a schoolboy, captain James Cook was a hero. No discussion of invasion. Now at the NSW Art Gallery - this statue. A relaxed James Cook contemplating his legacy as he overlooks the harbour he discovered. Michael Parekowhai.
