I wish I was more of a bike person, they are much sexier than cars. I intend to get a bike in the next year or two. Thanks for posting, seeing those may make it more like a year than two.
The Duc 848 is a hot piece of machine ... and that KTM road bike.
A workmate just bought a brand new Blade ... and on the 2nd day was taken out by a deer in the National Park ... he was lucky to get away with bruises and scrapes/rash only.

Mechan1k - Not 2 months ago we were fishing at Warumbul. There was a traffic delay in the park coming home. I knew it was a bike crash. Big tilt tray truck pulled a red blade from the scrub, over the gravels and up onto the tilt tray. No sign of the rider, she/he must have been taken by the meat truck earlier.
I am glad your friend is ok and I cannot stress enough, that when I ride anywhere, I am covered head to toe in cow! Don't care about sweat, heat etc.
I do not like riding in the RNP. The roads are covered in bark and shadows. It is very dangerous.
Wish your friend well, give him my best.
A few work colleagues frequent RNP down south ... but they take it nice and easy ... but a lot of riders don't ... I see so many riders up my way on the Putty Rd on the weekends ... it is a great road ... but can be unforgiving in some spots.
Everyone I know had full leathers and kevlar ... with back/neck protectors as well ... I can see why it is needed. Although I see far too many people on over-powered SuperSports riding in shorts and T-shirts .... crazy.
