Hey-up everyone. In the middle of the crisis that’s my work at the moment, I shot down to Sydney for a quick blast on an SWM RS500R. The bike is an ex-media test bike that had been shopped around several
Blog: March 5. I like the SWMs.
Blog: February 26. Got a bit on
A very quick entry today – and it’s a late entry, too. Done nuthin’. Been nowhere. Others have, though. Darren AC did Ramdog Dave’s ride and sent me through a couple of pics. It looks like it was a good
Blog: February 19. Riding a sidecar is poo-your-pants scary
As forecast in last week’s blog I’ve been riding a sidecar, and it’s a very, very scary experience. I was lucky because Greg Jansen of Rocky Creek Designs is a sidecar enthusiast and when he heard I was to ride
Blog: February 12. I’m getting lazy

Blog: January 22. Dakar.
Dakar finished in the early hours of the morning our time. I was up just after 5.00am and at the computer, keen to see whether Toby Price had pulled off a miracle. In a way he had. Finishing third is
Blog: January 15. A desk week
‘Ay-oop, everyone. I spent most of this last week in Sydney, so I don’t have much to report. Sydney time is desk time, and usually it’s fairly demanding desk time. This week was a real bag of bricks but it’s
Cousin Matthew’s solo run
With Christmas Day over, the exchanging of Chinese-made gifts done and bellies full of Christmas cheer, it was time to head off on another solo adventure. Not a hard-core adventure ride, but more a get-out-and-about and away-from-the-lounge-chair trip with no
