Yup that is me! Western Canada dude here. Kind of have to ask if the toilet flushes in reverse there too. I just have never seen a sidehack mounted that way until yesterday. The internet will show us many variations of life as we know it and you will have to forgive me the occasional or more silly assed question about life there.

Never did I in my wildest thoughts think you guys put the side hack on the wrong side of the bike too. Learn something  new every day is my moto and I just learned this today.  :o

Hi Tim and welcome to the clan of eXSessiveness. To find what model you have, check out this link - CLICK and compare your engine / frame numbers to what's listed there. That way, we'll know for sure exactly what you're dealing with in case of problems.

The three Hills loop?

That's the main thing I miss since moving away from the area in 2006. Nothing like that up this way.

Used to do regular evening coffee runs with my son to Mount Coottha from Moreton Downs (northside) via Mee, Glorius and Nebo. It's a much safer ride at night, would you believe?

and lots of gsx's a few 750's but mainly 1100's and a slabby which i still have
then i decided ive had a gutful of sydney  and headed north to brisvagas   and have been here ever since 2002  , do the three hills loop occasionaly and  the bellbird  too , so if you see a xs 1100   with a tub on it  thats me
