It’s a sunny Sunday and I’m just tidying up after a good ride to the Troy Bayliss Classic with Dino and Darren AC. Marty Blake said he was bored, so he mapped out a few possible routes and alternatives, mapped

Blog: January 16. Dakar’s over. Troy Bayliss Classic plan
It’s a rainy Sunday and Dakar wound up last night with KTM in the top three positions. It’s such a huge event it’s hard to point at any particular highlights or major happenings because they happen every day, but of
Blog: January 9. The Squirrel’s in hospital
It’s Sunday arvo and very windy. I’ve been watching Dakar all week, and although it sounds stupid to say so, I feel a bit short of sleep. Compared to the competitors I’m living in five-star luxury. It’s hard to imagine

Dave and Karen Ramsay’s Wattle Flats ride report
Wattle Flats done and DUSTED for another year. No mud until late Sunday arvo for some. Awesome effort from Craig Wilson and the wonderful crew from the Coffs 4×4 Club. We ate well, drank cold beverages and had a top
Blog: November 28. Catch-up time
It’s Sunday afternoon and I’m just starting to gather the threads of the past and coming weeks. I’ve been on holiday. No dirt bikes, no mountain bikes and no work. It’s been a great week, but now I have to
