    You could always convert it to a camper trailer

    That was the original plan, after I saw someone at a previous Alpine Rally with a trailer with the same roof top tent as mine. I thought the rtt would get twice the use, but gave away the idea because of weight.

    Jeff I followed a guy once with a trailer, seemed to handle everything quite well, we were on the old Highway near Taree and hootin along.

    Nothing wrong with Honda's CX range, brilliant motorcycles that seem to go forever! I had an early CX500 and it was a great bike. My brother has a 1984 CX650 that he purchased second hand when it was about four years old and he has done a load of kilometres on, both as a daily comuter and long distance trips. he has only ever replaced a cam chain and recently just put it on club plates.
    Speaking of Guzzi's their NTX 350's and 650's always appealed to me too!

    Cheers, Mick.
