Sunday afternoon motorcycle ride.

I chanced the weather this afternoon and from what I can gather, I got lucky!I ran into a few damp spots where rain had been and looking behind me at stops cold see rain in the distance coming in and back home watched the radar show the rain had indeed followed me.So examining the MV yet again I can state two good points are the power is indeed very nice on the more open roads, like those I

Quick Southwest Rides

Quick ride ideas on the southside.I know many riders go north as its seen as the quick/lesser distance ride however some options exist on the south that are quick.For a start you can actually do a pretty good ride in the Gold Coast hinterland and be back after lunch however even shorter ride would be simply Mt Tamborine which I dont really speak alot about however it is popular for many

Good Motorcycle rides near Brisbane # 33

Darlington - three churches ride.Try this alternative route when coming back from South West, Mt Lindsey-Queen Mary's etc.Riding north from Rathdowney heading back to Brisbane the road to Beaudesert can get boring. After Rathdowney next town is Tamrookum, I use the term town loosely there, its mostly a few houses, a roadhouse and a hall from the highway. The roadhouse is worth a stop for fuel as

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. My wrists are a bit sore from the inline 4 buzz and slight forward lean, the bike sure hasn't become any more comfortable for me, but the tweaks done to the suspension by a

Binna Burra

I am still not riding my bike but I managed to get out to one of my favorite mountain's today in the car.I wanted to move to Lower Beechmont when I was working on the Gold Coast. Big part of me wishes I had too....Lots of motorbikes on the Beechmont sections. I continued on to Binna Burra and did some hiking - trying to get more active since my new job has me sitting down in front of a PC all
