I remember a few years ago a friend telling me after a trans Australian run where he ran out of fuel that the big kawa’s only have 100m left to run after their first splutter. I hoped I wasn’t going to put that to the test. But I’ll get to that later. One of my…
After a last minute call up on Thursday for motocomm duties for the Grafton to Inverell cycle race. I had to make a quick trip to Grafton. With limited time I opted to slab it straight up the freeway. Sorry but freeways are not travelling they are for covering large distances quickly, completely devoid of…
Today I had to return the bike to the shop. I really enjoyed the time we shared on road and I loved riding in Utah. When I was planning this trip I must admit that I was a bit nervous about what to expect; the availability of fuel; riding on the right-hand side of the…
So today there was a new plan devised – go to Arches National Park and then across to Colorado and see how I am going for time. Arches National Park is different again.! And as plans had changed I had a bit more time so I did a bit of walking to get the most…
What a sensational day on the bike! I love Utah. If you have a bike licence get over here and ride. Today I took in a number of Utah’s National Parks and I have to say my jaw was on the ground. The scenery was stunning. I left the motel this morning at 7:30 and…
I picked up my Electra Glide this morning from Eagle Rider to be my transport for the next three days. I’ve not ridden a Harley before so what better place to try one than the home of Harley’s. I opted for the Electra glide as it has luggage and a 12 volt outlet to plug…
I went in search of an old ride report from a Nambucca Heads trip in 2013 but couldn’t find it – I may not have written one. However I did find one from my travelling companion Russel (Rusjel) from that particular trip so I am posting up an edited version of his post in its…
With the 100,000km mark approaching on the zed it just didn’t seem right to let that milestone pass whilst on commuting duties, so a plan was hatched.
It’s 3am and I’m sitting here at the servo, the BOM website has the current temp at under -1, the bike is fuelled up and the start receipt safely tucked away, all my warm gear on. I’m ready to head. Where’s Russell?
It seems that the rule for Nambucca Heads’ FarRides is to have wet weather gear close. Real close.
