Andy's big day out, Jun 6
Andy White, aka Andy Strapz, had a warm celebration today for the closure of the retail shop in Seaford, Victoria. Some gear will remain available for a very short time.
And then of
course he is opening a new chapter called Andy Trakz,
which involves punctuating his alleged semi-retirement
by leading tours of small groups to exotic parts of
the globe.
He put some
draft logos out for public comment at the event and,
well, we'll see...
See AndyStrapz.com for more
detail.

Honda CBR1100XX Super Blackbird turns
30, June 2
What was once the world's fastest production motorcycle
(and it doesn't seem so long ago for some of us) turns 30
this year.
That's a milestone and also means it is now eligible for concessional club plates across Australia. (Some civilised states go for 25 years, while others insist on 30.)
We have owned all three generations and have had a first-gen in the shed for 13 years.
See our
profile of the series.
And our 2013
video review of the first-gen in our shed.
And the most
recent web update on that bike, in 2022.

(US$243,000, GB£180,000, €208,000) also set a new
benchmark as the most valuable British motorcycle ever
