The plan was escape for a days riding and take in a number of great roads. From Canberra down the Bonang into Victoria, across to Omeo and then home via Mitta Mitta and Tumbarumba. A nice 1,000km day. But that wasn’t to be.

Following our Yellowstone / Canada EagleRider tour in 2018 it was clear we would be doing a lot more of this style of touring.

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.
Sometimes you twist the throttle to go faster and other times you just want to take in the aural sensation that a six cylinder bike offers. You’ve got to love the 1980″s Honda CBX1000 and Kawasaki Z1300. Just intoxicating.
In 2010 I had a bit of a problem with my ZX14 and there were a number of holdups with diagnosing the issue and getting parts etc so Canberra Motorcycle Centre most generously provided me with a demo VFR1200F to use.
