Three Countries in one day

Today we rode in three countries, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, and Austria. And we rode over three major passes: Sustenpass, Klausenpass, and the Silvretta Hochalpenstrasse. I love it here.

Switzerland – Lake Tour

Today we skirted five lakes between Thun and Lucerne – the Thunersee, Brienzersee, Lungerersee, Samersee, and Lucerne Nidwalden) – and included a number of mountain passes. Bought local cheese and sausage in the mountains from a farmer for lunch.

Cheating

Do bikes get jealous? Do they get offended if you leave them at home and take another one.?

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…

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.
