2017 Mount Eboshi observatory Tsushima island. I had planned to take my bike to Korea but changed to visit an island so close you can see Korea with naked eye. Incredibly beautiful place few western tourists have ever seen. #tsushima #mounteboshiobservatory #viewofkorea #motorcycletravel #motorcycleadventure #motorcycletour #motorcycletrip #motorcyclejapan #lessseenplaces #solorider #dontwaittotravel #seizethemoment

First day of my latest tour of New Zealand. Weather was perfect as was the Fush and Chups and a ‘Handle’ of hazy IPA at the Whangamata Club. At this rate I’ll be speaking the local lingo in no time. #whangamata #newzealand #fushandchups #hazyipa #motorcyclelife #motorcycletravel #motorcycletrip #motorcycletouring #motorcycleadventure #motorcyclenewzealand #acrosstheditch #newzealandtrip #getbusyliving #coromandelpeninsula
