Originally from America. Proud citizen of Australia. Currently riding my motorcycle around the world. 44 countries so far and counting. ;-)
Started off from Tina’s house, and went to fill up with fuel. Really had to park my bike at the roadhouse like a moron, just to get the kick stand down. But I got the job done, and got the Air freight express guy to help me hold the bike to get the kick stand back up.. boy did he have a funny story to tell! (As I find nearly every time I stop...
Lots of update catching up to do!! It’s been a lot to get used to, and of coarse no mobile reception across most of the barren country. But now in WA, I can get to work! Well, sort of… I’m still 2 days away from Perth… So! Day 1!! Woke up at 2:45 AM, in my empty house, from sleeping on the floor in my sleeping bag...
Today’s comic in the Guardian Messenger… just happened to be next to an article about me, but I loved this more!
The comic actually has more meaning to me in reflection of earlier life experiences! How did “Clive” know?? Gotta love it..
Chad and Rod, very very VERY HAPPY Peter Stevens boys extraordinaires… caught me up this week that they’ve had a view of my blog.. and noticed I have pictures of Jared, Billy and Graham.. and not them! Which is a very fair call, as both Chad and Rod have done so much work for my project. Particularly Chad who really loves selling me all things...
I was thinking that I’ve never been in the paper before.. But I just remembered there was a time, a loooong time ago. I was in the 4H Club, where you join community groups of interest, and if you progress, you get to advance to the State Fair, much like your Royal Show. I was in 6th Grade, and my interest was Dog Training. I had a Bassett Hound...
Boy, this bike keeps getting bigger and bigger! I think we have similar body shapes now!! Yesterday my Touratech Panniers went on, and they are awesome.. Just remembered when we were taking photos down by the beach the other night, these 2 surfers pulled up in their station wagon to have a look, and one of them said, “Hey, you look like you’re on a...
Yep, it’s true.. Pinky finger nail right off.. Today I had some training with Sam. What a big day it was!! The intention was for some dirt roads, and Sam knows how to deliver! I guess I should start off by a long ride up the big hill out of Adelaide early this morning in very thick fog and rain. My visor was a foggy mess on the inside as well...
Popped down the road for a bite to eat, and took the opportunity for some photos with my good friend Robert. Thought I would show you my new riding gear from Rukka!
Needless to say, I love it!
Showing off my new Safari Fuel Tank sponsored by R & V Aqualine!!
One of the hardest parts about this trip is leaving my boy Luke behind. Luke has been with me since 1999. We got him in Queensland, merely to be a guard dog for the boat we sailed through the Pacific Islands. But the moment I met Luke, I knew he was meant to be in our lives as more than a guard dog. After the trip through the islands finished, it was...
