Holiday Ride: Day 3 Granya
A reasonable nights sleep but woke to the sounds of rain splatting on the roof top. Look outside the door and…. Oh well, lucky we are on holidays. There was no letting up, each time you’d look out the door, it just bucketed 🙁 Not even the dogs were happy, they sat most of the …

Holiday Ride: Day 2 Jindy-Granya
Slept like a babe!! Karl, yeah not so much (he never sleeps well on the first night, but you’d never know by his snoring…ooops did I say that!). Woke up with a sore throat and a blocked nose…noooooooo! Not the way to start a holiday. Drugs – check and we get started on our day. …

Holiday Ride: Day 1 Home-Jindabyne

Meet Dudley……
……. born in SA in March 2015, a fine strapping babe he was too. Previously owned by a retired gentleman who in 6 months had his first service done and had put 2054 kms on the clock and decided he wanted something different and put him up for adoption. Searching the internet I spotted the …

FarRally RTM-06
After a DNF at RTM-05, I thought I’d have another crack at a Rally……….what was I letting myself in for this time. RTM-06 was a purely QLD based scavenger hunt and with no local knowledge, had I bitten off more than I could chew? Thursday after work I headed out in the pouring rain to …

Last test ride…..
This particular bike is the one that I have been most looking forward to ride. Since it came onto the market, it’s one that has always caught my eye and I’ve thought….hmmm I can see me on that (in white of course…lol). Other than the ride home of Saturday that’s all I managed to get …
