After a DNF at RTM-05, I thought I’d have another crack at a Rally……….what was I letting myself in for this time. RTM-06 was a purely QLD based scavenger hunt and with no local knowledge, had I bitten off more than I could chew? Thursday after work I headed out in the pouring rain to …

This particular bike is the one that I have been most looking forward to ride. Since it came onto the market, it’s one that has always caught my eye and I’ve thought….hmmm I can see me on that (in white of course…lol). Other than the ride home of Saturday that’s all I managed to get …

The sun’s out and I’mma heading west, way out west, where the temperature increases by 5 degrees and the salesmen are human (well these were anyway). I was out testing riding again today. This time round I booked a ride on the Yamaha MT09-Tracer. The salesguy figured since I ride a Blackbird he could trust …

An invitation was extended to me & Karl of course from friends of OzSTOC (ST owners club of Australia) for a RTE to Gulargambone. Â You say where??? Gulargambone!

After hours of deliberation I decided to register for my very first FarRally RTM-o5….oh my goodness what have I done! Some many questions are asked and tips, hints and answers are provided. Now what to do with it all. To Basecamp, Google Earth or not – that is the question. I know first world problems…lol …

My favourite ride on the calender and it only comes around once a year. Work is a distant memory Friday morning when I awake and get ready in record time to hit the road with my Sweety Karl. Travelling with my favourite fella to my favourite place….what more could a girl ask for 🙂 We …

I haven’t had the best year for riding, despite the amount of kilometres I have done. So this FarRide I tried to make sure that other than having Daisy in good condition, my head space was, well, better prepared than in recent times. I think the excitement of seeing my friend Leonie and having a ride with …

To go to Darwin River to have lunch with friends…….well why wouldn’t you! Any normal person would do that – right? Well maybe not but that’s what FarRiders do. This was in itself going to be an enormous ask of myself and one that I thought I had in hand. However as it turned out …
