Welcome to My Blog

This is a blog of my trip around Australia by motorbike. I'll endeavour to keep this updated on a regular basis, but there will be days when I'll have no access to the web. So follow my progress, see some pictures and hopefully share my adventure.

Keep in touch by adding comments to the posts or simply give me some feedback.

1 Week to Go

Yeah so who’s counting – well I guess I am.

All is in readiness – all testing is complete and all purchases (except for some basic food items) has been done.

The final fantastic ride was with the Worthington BMW Riders Group over the June long weekend. It was to and around Nymboida where the bike got a thorough testing (including the fully laden water carriers). This included gravel roads and lots of quick sealed sections. And everything passed – I guess including myself.

The ride home was a 640km trip on the Monday and even though I was a little saddle sore and tired, the next day I surfaced okay. So I guess I passed as well – although this trip will be some 20,000km including a number of similar day’s riding.

To be honest excitement is building and I guess some anxiousness. I have told so many people about this trip it is too late to back out – not that this has ever entered my mind. But still 20.000km is a long way and I am at the front end of this trip.

So in a week’s time I hit the road.
