  1. Something for those who remember the older bikes.




    Went up to the Kuranda motor cycle event last Saturday.

    Kuranda is a small town North of Cairns FNQ, near the Baron Falls

    I was happy to see a Vincent and a Manx Norton amongst the bikes, had not
    seen a Vincent in many years, it had the big speedo on it, not sure what
    model the Vincent was (Black Shadow ??). Come to think of it had not seen a
    Manx for a long time either.

    A lot of nice looking new or newish bikes up there, and I thought it was
    worth the trip. We saw some of the Cairns motorcycles shops had displays
    there.

    Of course Lillie Law was around, 2 speedies with their Kodak on the way up
    the range, and another one a few kilometres up further also taking pictures,
    plus a car breathalysing people only 500 metres from the event on a small
    country side road.

    Kuranda is only around 30 Km from Cairns, motor cycle events certainly bring
    out the fuzz in force.

    Hardly ever see a speedie around Cairns, so I guess the brought them up from
    down south for the event.

  2. I have seen them on the road by the bridge just before the Kuranda turn-off
    and also along the Myola road near the High School
    They must like the place, can't disagree with that either
