Ella-Jane’s Easter Camping 2013
Ella’s never been on a holiday, a real holiday (well except going to Nanny & Pa’s). Friends of ours Phill and Kim asked if we’d like to join them at Easter camping and they were taking their boy Ninja with them, so we thought it a great idea to take Ella-Jane away on her first …

Our annual pilgrimage to Tintaldra – a culmination of 3 states, 3 forums and a world full of personalities. It started 6 years ago, of which Karl and I have attended for 5 of them and met some wonderful folk that enjoy our past time of motorcycle riding. We have an international inclusion this year with …

Special K’s Camping Holiday 2013
Annual leave is booked but I have had my doubts that Karl & I would actually get away (the reason is a whole other story). Anyways, Saturday 29th Dec arvo rolls around and Karl says “guess what, we are going tomorrow”! YIPPEE!!! Oh no, I still have washing, ironing, packing and stuff to do. Frantic …

Carving up the Oxley 12
Prelude Weekend prior I purchased a Garmin Zumo 660 GPS, updating the Aldi GoPro I’d grown used to – very easy to use (read Kimmie proof here). So with another friend Phill headed to Breakfast Torque and then onto Robbo Pie Shop using the Zumo with the pre-programmed route I’d set. Well to say it …

BDR 2012 – Comes to a close
Well I arrived home on Thursday afternoon at 5:30pm (a bit later than I had expected), with some 7229.4 kays travelled in the 13 days (average 556.1 kays per day). I could’ve ridden for more to be honest. When an event finishes and you start to head home it does seem to take ages, but …

Updated Days 4,5 & 6 with pics
I’ve finally updated days 4, 5 & 6 with the missing photos. Sorry it took so long, but it actually takes a while to resize all the pics, then upload them to photobucket before loading them into the blog (which takes longer than I thought) and then resizing them again, so thanks for your patience. …
