Bike Augmentation

Today the bike went into the operating room for a “procedure”… We needed bigger fuel tank, so that’s what we got!  And it’s awesome!! The 14 ltr Safari Tank was sponsored by R & V Aqualine in Australia.  Combined with the existing 12 ltr tank, I will now have a total of 26 litres to travel on.  If I have calculated...

Earthquakes and Thunderstorms!

Been an interesting couple of nights here in the Cove!  First night, awoke to a deep rumbling sound, my windows rattling like crazy and sounded like the rear veranda roof and frame was having a time of it.  I remember lying in bed and thinking that was a strange sound, wonder what it is?  Still very groggy, I paid more attention to the sound of the...

Because I Can – or CAN’T??

Because I Can – or CAN’T??

It all piled up and got too big for me…  and so aptly put my ‘Because I Can’ World Tour, took a U-turn to ‘No she Can’t!’ Still having confidence issues with the heighth of the bike… it makes for very tense rides rather than the fun rides of freedom I used to feel.  Add to that the amount of things I am learning to...

A good Knee!

Not the most interesting blog topic, but I am so excited to report how good my knee is!! Last night went to the gym for the first time since my little surgery and no pain!! Doing lunges and squats in Shannon’s class at Southbound Gym was truly a surprise and great improvement over what it has been feeling like the last few months.  Was honestly very...

Well I’m not old, but I felt like it when I was hobbling around with wobbly knee!  But thanks to the good...

Yankalilla

Just wanted to quickly add to my last post… as I passed through the little town of Yankalilla, I stopped at the Church, which holds a painting that was done by my friend Marie Klement of Mother Mary.   I must have looked a bit strange pulling my motorcycle into the lot.  A woman stopped on the path and looked at me, and I said “I am asking...

Now.. time to get Panniers!

Now.. time to get Panniers!

I never heard the word “pannier” until I started researching this trip.  I kept hearing pannier this and pannier that and what the heck are they talking about!?  Oh…. saddle bags or luggage.  I used to ride a Harley Davidson many years ago, and we had leather “saddle bags”.   I think pannier sounds much better.. After...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

I’m excited today is the last day of 2009.  Had a fantastic year full of fun and VERY different things to do in filmmaking – plus my idea was born to take my Because I Can World Tour!!! This is why I am excited, because tomorrow is 2010.  An even bigger year of discovery, change, adventure and fun!!  There is so much planning going on as we...
