My Honda Grom's registration is up for renewal: $480 AUD ($309 USD). I don't think I've ridden it since July last year, and I haven't ridden my Honda CRF300 Rally since getting the Harley.
I don't really *want* to get rid of them, but I don't really see myself riding them either. The registration and insurance costs are burning a hole in my wallet. 
With the Harley due for its 8,000 km service this week, I gave it its first wash.
It was even filthier than I thought. There was *so much mud* in and around the rear wheel. Cleaned up pretty well though.
I discovered that the lower exhaust shield also got scratched up when I dropped the bike in gravel. More battle scars. 
Planning to take it on a small overnight trip next weekend. Can't wait.
I follow the moto markets, ie, I watch prices asked for a few brands/models I like.
One bike's been on private sale interstate for at least 6 months. $22k when I first saw it. Then $25k, $30k, $25k, $20k, & back to $25k.
It looks pretty good, some historical inaccuracies (common for age), but the seller's price faffing has put me right off. If I got past that, I wouldn't pay more than the lowest price asked. They'd have taken it yesterday. Baffling 
Managed to "sneak" into the pit lane at the #Zandvoort #racing circuit yesterday.
There are openings in the fence for photographers. Tried to "pull" some shots, but the bikes were doing over 200 km/h, so I mostly ended up with blurry pictures of empty race track 
.

Waving to #trams from #motorcycles is recommended, waving to two trams is mandatory
With the road trip now over, I've booked my Harley-Davidson Street Bob in for its 8,000 km (5,000 mi) service.
It's been pretty reliable. The only real problem I've had is difficulty shifting from first gear to second - the bike tends to shift into neutral instead. Unsure why, but I'll get the dealer to look at it.
Besides that, one of the turn signal lenses is cracked in multiple places, but that's a cheap fix.

I took a long ride on a TW200 and lemme tell ya: those things are slow!
But that's a good thing, because they've been essentially indestructible in my experience, and easy to ride.
Oftentimes, the TW is called the "two-wheeled tractor" and I can vouch for that, its gearing is short, close, and strong, it's immediately obvious that they used the simplest gearbox possible.
Overall, it won't be winning races, or going over 120 Km/H, but it does get you there day in and day out. Now the only thing for Yamaha to do is make it not cost 5k USD.
Oh, somebody else has decided to risk parking their motorbike outside the office.
What a surprise: another RGS. Common as muck.

Last day of my trip saw me riding back home from Emerald QLD.
I loved Emerald. Super cozy. It has a HUGE miniatures store - Emerald Hobbies - and an even bigger Big Easel.
Blackwater lived up to its name, with the filthiest servo I've ever seen. I don't think I'll stop here again. 
I ended up getting home after dark, about three hours later than planned - but made it in one piece. Now my bike is due for a service. 
Gotta say, I'm impressed with how easy it is to lift the Harley up off the crash bar. Far easier than the Honda CRF300 Rally, despite the Harley weighing twice as much and having all my luggage strapped to it.
Besides the low center of gravity, having tall handlebars and a sissy bar really make it easy to get a solid grip and plenty of leverage, even when you're on gravel.
