General blogs about motorcycle trips
I woke up early this morning to cars and bikes leaving. I lay there contemplating all the traffic so early and then it hit me. Sunrise viewing.! I lay there some more. More cars leave. It’s only sunrise after all and I did see the sunset over the rock last night. I do need to…
Today I made a second attempt to get out to Uluru. Given the distances between anything are quite large the interesting thing I have noticed in the Northern Territory is that the milage posts can often refer to the highway intersection. Like today when leaving Kings Canyon the posts would be LH150 meaning Lassitets Highway.…
Bit of a slow start this morning or maybe as I’m not running to a deadline I allowed myself a sleep in. So by the time I was up and packed and made myself a cuppa it was about 8am. My plan today was to run into Alice grab someone supplies and head to Uluru. …
With the last real coffee a distant memory. Today started with a nice coffee. From here Russell and I set off for the three ways (corner of the Barkley and Stuart Highways). I was wondering what Russell was up to at one point but it turned out the he was trying to go 150km with…
From cloncurry we headed west towards Mt Isa and into the Northern Territory. As you approach Mt Isa you go through a nice mountain pass which was most unexpected. And one of the many trucks we past. Then as you enter Mt Isa the mining industry is right in your face. I’ve seen photos of…
Well the day started out really well. I spent time thinking as I rode across the open flats how small we are in comparison to the hundreds of thousand ofgalaxies that are out there. And at our current speed of travel in space it would take us 150 thousand years just to reach or nearest…
Today I was venturing into new territory. The roads are getting straighter. The trucks are getting longer. And the towns are getting less frequent. Many of the roads I traveled on were quite lonely with little or no traffic. I was fascinated with the number of large cactus trees around. There was quite a lot…
I love new roads. I love exploring where they take me. I love the different places, towns and scenery they take me through. I love the new experiences they present me. So a couple of months ago a friend posted on a long distance riding forum that he wanted to have a beer with some…
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…
