Riding Miss Daisy

Daisy is a country girl, born and raised in our Country & Western Region of Australia (partial to a little bit of Keith Urban, I believe).   For her age – 14 (don’t tell her I told you she’s a bit sensitive) she’s in really good shape, I’d even go as far to say as …

Oxley….how many times?

ha ha ha…….as many times as you want!! that was Karl’s plan. This ride was Karl’s brain child in a small window of opportunity (these don’t come by very often). The seeds were sown and the lonely flower of the group did what she does best, booked some great accommodation while the thorns set about plotting a …

Tintaldra 2013

Our annual pilgrimage to Tintaldra – a culmination of 3 states, 3 forums and a world full of personalities.  It started 6 years ago, of which Karl and I have attended for 5 of them and met some wonderful folk that enjoy our past time of motorcycle riding. We have an international inclusion this year with …

Special K’s Camping Holiday 2013

Annual leave is booked but I have had my doubts that Karl & I would actually get away (the reason is a whole other story). Anyways, Saturday 29th Dec arvo rolls around and Karl says “guess what, we are going tomorrow”! YIPPEE!!! Oh no, I still have washing, ironing, packing and stuff to do. Frantic …

Carving up the Oxley 12

žPrelude Weekend prior I purchased a Garmin Zumo 660 GPS, updating the Aldi GoPro I’d grown used to – very easy to use (read Kimmie proof here). So with another friend Phill headed to Breakfast Torque and then onto Robbo Pie Shop using the Zumo with the pre-programmed route I’d set. Well to say it …

Brian as sent a text saying “I’ll meet you girls out the front”, no worries Brian at least you are OK and the bike is sorted. Packed and ready we roll …

BDR 2012 – Comes to a close

Well I arrived home on Thursday afternoon at 5:30pm (a bit later than I had expected), with some 7229.4 kays travelled in the 13 days (average 556.1 kays per day). I could’ve ridden for more to be honest. When an event finishes and you start to head home it does seem to take ages, but …

Updated Days 4,5 & 6 with pics

I’ve finally updated days 4, 5 & 6 with the missing photos. Sorry it took so long, but it actually takes a while to resize all the pics, then upload them to photobucket before loading them into the blog (which takes longer than I thought) and then resizing them again, so thanks for your patience. …
