  1. Hi Mike, Thanks for your comments The official retirement age in Australia varies depending on the year you were born. 1949ers retire at 65 I dont know how much the pension is as many people in Australia contribute to a pension fund over many years and live of that when they retire. There are those who do take a state pension but I have no idea how much it is. As far as the types of licenses are concerned this link should tell the story. http://www.tmr.qld.gov.au/Safety/Motorcycle-safety/Learner-Approved-Motorcycle-Scheme.aspx I am looking for a windscreen and crash bars for the xvs650 but I am undecided what kind of windscreen I should get and how big/tall it should be. Thanks to Airhead and DirtyDT for their welcome....much appreciated
  2. Hi Ross, We seem to have a lot in common. Check out my post "New Member intro"
  3. Hi There, I am 63 years old and live in Brisbane Australia. The last time I rode a bike was my Honda Dream back in the late 60's. I recently purchased a 2009 Yamaha XVS650 Classic and I am riding it around the the back streets where I live (unlicenced) but intend to go on the LAMS course to get my RE licence (I let my Motorcycle Licence laps back in the 70's) My wife is very concerned about the dangers on the road these days and I must admit I am a little worried also but I figure if I ride defensively I should be OK. Bikes and accessories have changed enormously since the 70's and the options appear endless. I know I will be visiting this site often as there appears to be lots of information which will be helpful and entertaining. Comments and advice would be mosty welcome. Thank you
