Good Motorcycle rides near Brisbane # 32

Boonah - Rathdowney road.I have mentioned this before, but didn't get around to doing a post on the road.From Boonah if you are not heading to Queen Mary Falls or back to Ipswich you can ride the popular and fast (but tame unless doing double the limit) Beaudesert-Boonah road or you can ride this more interesting road instead.Head south past the Airfield where you might see some gliders soaring

Lake Moogerah - Mt AlfordHere is a ride that perhaps does not immediately spring to mind but is quite fun way to get to the south west corner.This and the next ride are two alternatives to the Beaudesert H-way which is fairly boring and can be slow going until beyond Jimboomba.Head out west to Dinmore then onto the h-way to Warwick, turn off on the Ipswich-Boonah road. Take this out as far as

Afternoon Mt Nebo ride

I just put the motorcycle cover on the Brutale. Thats significant as I had left it gathering dust without putting the cover on it for awhile - couldnt bring myself to even go look at it let alone ride it.Todays ride went well.

Mapelton Ride - Easter Monday

Went for a good ride today. The weather was threatening, even spitting at times but got a fine run all day. Alot of wet bits of road, some on corners hiding in the shadows which gave my ride partner moment at Mt Mee but no enough to spoil anything - car drivers tried hard to do that on every nice bit of twist and turn road (as happens sometimes) but got a good run in many places too.Met some

Review - Motovation bar ends

Ahh inline 4's - silky smooth engines - ahm well revs wise maybe but they create a buzz in the handle bars like no other engine does.I purchased a pair of over sized Stainless steel extra heavy bar ends to try solve this problem.The ordering was easy, communication excellent and product arrived quickly. They are very well presented items and fit easy and look good.The buzz has been reduced a bit,

Review - Air Hawk seat cushion.

I had a terrible time with my MV Agusta's ride quality and tried to make it more comfortable via suspension but only got so far and then was going to get the seat re padded until I remembered reading about these and thought I would give them a try.

These things really are very comfortable!
