So with sudden demise of my trusty zed I went in search of a suitable replacement. And after looking around there really wasn’t anything that grabs me like my zed. Except for the newer version of the ZX14R from 2013 which included a number of improvements and some nice restyling. Enter one 2014 ZX14R, with only…
It all started innocently enough… A friend asked me take his new GTR out for a ride to get the oil moving as he is out of action for a while. It was only going to be a short ride of around 70km just to clear out the cobwebs. So I invited my son-in-law to…
The first outing with the Subaru. Our old car has had to put up with a lot over the years including teaching both our girls to drive. And it was sporting all the experience and marks that comes with that. So it was time to upgrade. Enter one Subaru Liberty. On Friday when I got…
For those who have followed my blog may have picked up the theme that I like riding my bike and I like riding a long way. Well that is very true. However, I also really love sharing my rides with Deb. These rides aren’t measured in 1,000’s of kilometers but in the number of coffee shops,…
Each year long distance riders from around Australia congregate at Wilmington in South Australia to remember riders (friends) who we have lost. This year was especially poignant for me, with the loss of Pat, the life of the party, the clown, our friend. The Plan I have always wanted to do the run between Ivanhoe…
Today the motorcycle market is all about niche markets – sports, hyper sports, sports tourers, tourers, cruisers, trials, trail, motocross, enduro, mortard, adventure, and the list goes on. Sometimes you just have to do inappropriate things with inappropriate equipuipment – be adventurous. Today we went for a ride into the forest. One of us was…
This weekend marked a big milestone in the Australian long distance riding community with the inaugural meeting of IBA Australia in Parkes NSW. And as is only right and proper (and a requirement for attending) taking the short way to the meeting just wasn’t an option. So as Parkes is less than 300km from home…
It really doesn’t matter how you do it, or what you ride, the important thing is that you do do it. Spain is an amazing place to ride. It is jam packed with history, fascinating towns and cities surrounded by amazing scenery, and connected by glorious roads. This is some of the best riding I…
So the ride from the castle at Cardona was our last real day of riding. I must say I felt a bit sad knowing that today I’d be going to the Catalunya MotoGP. Not because I didn’t want to go to the race but it marks the end to this fabulous adventure on these fabulous…
So today we found ourselves in the pre Pyrenees. Again our prepared route was around 200km so we searched out a way that we could extend that and take in more roads we haven’t taken. Our search criteria is pretty simple – if it’s as windy as all hell then it’s in. By late morning…
