Satuuurrrday

That turned out to be a very long day. (Sorry there isn’t many photos in this post. ) We got to the Canberra airport at about 9:15am on Saturday 6 July and did all the necessary checking in and waited an hour or so before we boarded our plane to Sydney. In Sydney it was…

Zero sleeps

Introduction

Review Honda VFR1200
