That green thing was a nice bit of kit though. Loved the colour.
So what's it like actually owning one? Is it like owning a backyard special, or are they done alright? Or are they like Australia's answer to a Serrota? Can I expect an honest answer considering you'd most likely like your next bike to be straight with round wheels?
You get a lot of attention from people because not many people have had the pleasure of seeing a thylacine. I used to always catch people checking it out and taking a closer look. I had to start carrying thylacine business cards with me. I tell you it's the slick decals and hot house lime, people can't help but look.
Fit... Yeah nice. After riding a couple of loaner bike over the last month or two which are a bit big and also my beater SS which is too small, I can really appricate the fit. Off road i found I had far greater control then on the bikes I'm riding now.
I also get a lot of attention riding my konya (yes, not kona) SS (backyard special
), but for all the wrong reasons. There usually laughing how crap it is.
