Cheating
Do bikes get jealous? Do they get offended if you leave them at home and take another one.?
Screen Test
My attempts to find the best screen for ZX14R have seen me experiment with a range of screens with varying sucess from the Laminar Lip, a few different double bubble, the Zery Gravity touring screen, and finally the MRA touring screen.
Destination … Gerringong
I was surprised to see that my last post was back in November and it’s now March.! How did that happen.? Riding days have been a bit light on as we’ve been busy organising my daughter’s wedding that was held a few weeks ago. Once the photos are back I will share as it was…
Out for some Road Therapy
As an introvert in a busy office with people constantly seeking my time and in a seemingly endless stream of meetings, I am often needing time to escape and just have some down time to decompress and rejuvenate. For me there is noting better than helmet time – just getting away on the bike with…
Own Backyard
How often do we crave to ride in far off exotic places and just forget to explore and take in what’s around us … in our backyard. It hit me a couple of weeks ago after an afternoon’s ride with a friend in the ‘snowies’, Australia’s high country just a couple of hours from home. …
Product Review – Cameleon Chain Oiler
Chain maintenance is something that most motorcycle riders have to deal with as part of ownership. This is a review of the Cameleon chain oiler that I have been using on my Kawasaki ZX14 and ZX14R for the past 8 years and over 250,000km.
2018 Honda Goldwing – Test ride
Following our US tour on the Harly Davidson Electra Glide we knew we didn’t want one of those but are interested in a more touring focused motorcycle. With the new Honda Goldwing recently released we were keen to test one of these to see if a Goldwing could be in our future.
The Joy of the Open Road
Mostly people associate motorcycles with sinuous tarmac winding through mountain passes. Not wide open roads with barely a corner in sight. The two just don’t seem to go together. I know many riders who refuse to ride open roads and will trailer bikes rather than ride. But they underestimate what the open road offers.
There is something special about just rolling through a big country as the scenery washes over you allowing time to retreat into your own head space and just sit in your thoughts as the miles pass beneath your wheels.
Review – 2Up 4 2Weeks
After my last couiple motorcycle tours overseas Deb was keen to join me on my next adventure. The Eaglerider Canada Yellowstone tour fit into our schedule perfectly. This was going to be the longest motorcycle tour we have done together and the first of this nature. The route looked amazing and covered a number of iconic National Parks. This was going to be a great test of whether we like this mode of travel.
Salt Lake City – a bonus day
Salt Lake City was bitter sweet. We were excited to spend a few days with good friends, and sad as it marked the end of our time in the US. A benefit of all the great Stampin’ Up! trips that Deb has earned over the years are all the friends we have made around the…
