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. …

Its 9:30 before we leave home, partly cos we had a sleep in but mainly because we were hoping the rain would stop….ha! Rained all the way out of Sydney, I was soaked…my gear is no longer waterproof 🙁 Fuel at Pheasants Nest and Karl takes a turn off at Marulan that takes us through …

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 …

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 …

The sun’s out and I’mma heading west, way out west, where the temperature increases by 5 degrees and the salesmen are human (well these were anyway). I was out testing riding again today. This time round I booked a ride on the Yamaha MT09-Tracer. The salesguy figured since I ride a Blackbird he could trust …

Big decisions have been made in the mind of the Kimmie, I mean REAL BIG!! These haven’t been made lightly either, but those that know me pretty well, know all too well that it takes me a while to come to the final conclusion. I’m hearing you….what are they???…..get on with it (well that’s Karl …
