Now before I start, dumb dumb here forgot to set the clock on the camera to daylight savings time *face palm*, so you’ll see things are a little askew in the time department. 12:01pm with a start docket firmly packed into the wallet, Dudley & I are off on his first FarRide. Up Bells Line …

With Karl away for the weekend, and as a reward to myself I went off on a little ride on Dudley. I’d decided that heading south and Jamberoo was going to be the destination – I didn’t even program the GPS, thought I’d just wing it….OMG! Never been to Woronora Dam, passed the sign heaps …

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 …

An invitation was extended to me & Karl of course from friends of OzSTOC (ST owners club of Australia) for a RTE to Gulargambone. You say where??? Gulargambone! Never heard of it, you puttin’ me on….lol. Well they weren’t and I was looking forward to catching up with some friends I haven’t seem in nearly …

So close to home, how could I not register for this one – kinda a no brainer!! Phil Harris noticed it’d registered and asked if I’d mind having someone along for the ride and it would give him the opportunity to see how some of us plan our trips. Obviously, it wasn’t a problem and …
