Four Mountains

The area near Bega has some excellent riding.



I previously rode Brown Mountain and I am going to explore a couple more roads there when I next visit. In the meantime here is some preliminary information and I will fill in the gaps at the end of the year.





Near Tathra



A good ride can be enjoyed if aproaching from the North along the coast. Locals often speak of this road and I plan to

Falls Creek

Another ride I wanted to report on post the Buell Muster was the road to and from Falls Creek. From Omeo it has just been sealed all the way to the top and makes a tempting alternative to the Great Alpine Road.



I think most people know the road from Omeo to Anglers Rest has many nice corners and the road to the north of Falls Creek is also frequently spoken about so really all that was

Bunya Mountain

I didn't think today's ride would be such a big one - however that's what it turned out to be when I decided to ride to a new destination.

I left a little late at 8.00am after not being able to decide what to wear for this mornings chilly temperature. The textile jacket with it's zip in quilt liner and zip in nylon water and wind liner you would think would work better than my quilt lined

The Tablelands Way

The Tablelands Way is a route that has only recently been sealed all the way.

I was to have ridden this road on my recent tour however things didn't go to plan. Rather than wait until I can revisit here before posting anything I have decided to write just a little about it and four other roads I was going to ride so readers might consider if going on tour.


The Tablelands Way by all accounts is

New Gloves

I have been using these new gloves from Chilhowee.



After my recent experiences I started to seek a new pair of gloves. These may look simple however are anything but. Made from Deer skin and with a cotton lining they are incredibly comfortable, like no other glove I have ever worn.

The makers say Deer skin is more abrasion resistant than cow hide and also can be washed unlike leather gloves.

A Buell in Texas

I am back riding after a forced break - and to make up I did my biggest ever one day ride out - all the way to Texas.I left Brisbane about 6.50am and despite being in full winter gear it was rather cold in the shadows all the way to Tamrookum where I stopped for a rest and refuel and coffee. The sun started to get some warmth into its rays by the time I left there which was just as well as I

BMW City Pants

BMW City Pants.



I have purchased some new riding pants. My old draggin jeans no longer fit me and was looking for something better. For about the same money these pants from BMW have a special soft armor in the hip and knee that shapes itself somewhat and an inner comfort lining.

I was never really worried about the comfort of the kevlar lining in Draggins - not much that can be done about
