After a week of Butter Menthols, bags and bags of snotty tissues, and coughing like single-cylinder diesel I still feel like crap. I thought I felt better today (Sunday). I had to go to Woolgoolga, and it was such a

Blog: June 10. Got the wog
It’s Monday morning and a glorious day outside, but I’m at my desk sniffling and coughing and being as pathetic as I can in the hope of some sympathy. At this stage it’s just a cold, but the dreaded Man
Pottsy’s mid-week ride
I got a day off work out of the blue. So as you do, I went for a wobble, working out ways to link up the old highway south of Coffs to Kempsey in preparation for a ride Tom and
Blog: June 3. Coff City Moto shop ride

Blog: May 7. Just workin’

Raisin’ Cain (Marty HC’s story)
I don’t like riding in the dark, but most of the epic adventure rides start that way. There’s something satisfying about not wasting any of the precious daylight and the gentle burble of the DR with only the lights from
Blog: April 30. An interesting week
Hi everyone. I’ve had a bikeless week, except for Dan Vaughan doing some work on the KLR, and now it’s better than ever. He sure has an incredible touch with a bike. I thought it needed new clutch springs. Dan
