Eastern Victoria Autumn Motorcycle Tour I had an idea to revisit Victoria when I buy a new bike however I remain undecided if owning another motorcycle makes any sense for me where I live and thus had no firm plans. Then Ride Day posted their Summer Victorian tour earlier in […]

Western Australia Motorcycle Tour It’s somewhat surprising given how much I have travelled that I’ve never visited the other side of my home country. To be fair it isn’t like when I was living in Japan where I could ride across the country in a day. Australia is a much […]

This is my third motorcycle tour of the New Zealand North Island, 6th tour of the country. It’s a wonderful motorcycling destination but this trip nearly became my last. I put this together kind of last minute. I had been going to ride Thailand again but found myself hesitating. It […]

Winter is the best time of year in the far north. Mild sunny days, 25 degrees. I decided to ride. 1,319 words, 7 minutes read time.

Autumn Ride I did not know this was going to be an Autumn ride until I set off and nearly froze. With all my experience planning motorcycle tours I still get it wrong sometimes. I have been to New Zealand before and twice to the south island so I am […]

The heat of far north Queensland had been getting me down so about 6.00pm one evening I decided screw it, I’m going for a ride. 4.30am in Townsville and it’s still stinking hot. I load up the bike then have to go and change my clothes which are wet through […]

Continuing my ride in the New England Tablelands on the MT-07 I depart Uralla with no firm route because the weather forecasts have been rain on the coast but decide to ride to Dorrigo then see what it is like. I arrive Armidale with the sun already a little high […]

The New England Highlands is a region in Australia full of dramatic landscapes, interesting history and great riding. Whilst travelling downunder I took an opportunity to revisit this area. While visiting my home town Brisbane I ended up with a few spare days so thought I’d rent a bike and […]

My motorcycle tour in Australia continues as I ride south into the state of Victoria after a very cold and wet day previously. You can read part one via this link where I rode through central New South Wales on some lesser travelled roads for motorcycles that turned out to […]
