I went from Apple to Android in 2011, and was finally tempted back by the new iPhone XS Max, went all out with the 512GB phone, plus the stainless 44mm LTE watch, picked up on launch day, I was excited to be back…  Within 2 weeks they've been returned and I'm back to my Samsung Note 8.

They were very cool, sexy as hell with the polished stainless finish, and felt great in hand.  The problem was that in the two weeks I had it it dropped at least half a dozen calls mid call, and removed the time stamps from all my messages so were all in random order... Since I use my phone for work it was just unacceptable, sadly.  Luckily Apple customer service is excellent, and they just refunded it no fuss.  Offered a swap but I'm going to wait for them to iron out the kinks, it sounds like the calls dropping is a random issue at this stage, with no known cause and no guarantee if or when it will be fixed with an update, or whether it's a hardware issue.

I've been wanting to buy one of these forever, sadly by the time I got around to it all avenues for online purchase had dried up.  Any leads on getting one of these to Australia?  Can I smuggle one into the pocket of some jeans 

Cheers,
Matt

I ended up deciding on a Harley Roadster, I haven't had a heap of time to ride so far, but it's great fun!  Highly recommended! It'll be even better once I get a chance to put on all the bits and pieces I've got for it, I'll get some pics and post them up soon

I had the Defender detailed and coated with two coats of Ceramic Pro, pretty happy with how it came out!

I've been doing more research and it seems the error codes were likely from a poor electrical connection or bad battery, so nothing terminal (pun not intended).  I haven't had a chance to ride a Roadster yet, but that's the other Harley on the list.  The Triumph Bobber is another interesting proposition, which should be on sale soon. I sat on one at Moto Expo and it felt pretty comfortable.

I've been test riding a couple of bikes lately, looking to trade up from the '07 Bonneville to something new.  First bike I rode was a Harley Low Rider S, cool looking bike, massive grins induced when giving it the throttle, otherwise just a fairly comfortable bike to cruise on. Clunky gearbox, and broke down twice in rapid succession near the end of the test ride with an error code, but otherwise I liked it. The breaking down did leave a little bit of a sour taste in my mouth though, and a lot of heat put out when stopped at the lights etc.
Next I rode a Thruxton R, which was an all round superb bike, couldn't really fault it.Great engine, brakes, etc etc.
After the rides the Thruxton was the obvious 'winner', and while they're vastly different bikes the engineering seems much better on the Triumph.  The funny thing is, now that a couple of weeks have passed I find myself wanting the Harley more.  Decisions, decisions!

@manufc10:

Grey Ombre looks amazing

It looks even better in the flesh

Did the grey version of this come out in the West, or was it just in Japan?

The bike looked great in the flesh Graeme, nice to meet you briefly

I'm very sorry to hear about Sakura, may she rest in peace and my sincere condolences to the family.
