Summertime is so busy for my fruit business, this ride was months ago. With a few extra days off work presented a chance to go north for a couple of days with an overnight at Drake. Forecast rain and father’s day kept the numbers down with only Troy keen to go. The plan was to […]

This is how it is made up out of the three volumes of Dualsport Australia discs. As th three volumes join it is as simple as joining them together to make a seperate ride. this ride was part […]

The plan was simple, spend a full day getting to Inverell with Tom. Checking out a loop for the Green Valley Farm congregation (if it happens) and grab some photos. The next day score some TLC for my bike from Vince with a suspension upgrade. New England, New Valley, new loop and new suspension. Chasing rainbows The sky looked black...

It’s a bit hard at the moment with no riding for most people but here is something fun to do with Google Maps whilst you’re bored. Plan some 200-300km loops from your home and use your phone or convert to GPX files to ride when lockdown finishes. We are not really going to be welcome straight away in remote areas...

There has been a lot of excitement this week that motorcycling counts as exercise, but how? One of my older mates used to say “there is nothing in the husky manual about pushing” (late s70’s and early 80”s husky manuals had riding tips) so that’s out but apparently you can get a good workout riding, the premier said so.

With challenging riding planned we kept it to DR riders, Trev, Craig andTroy who thrive on a little adversity along with myself who loves creating it.

Cain had finally seen the light, adding a new VSM DR650 to his stable of KTM’s. Apparently he has never been on a ride with me without swearing at me inside his helmet. The DR must have given him confidence and he asked for a snotty ride south and can he bring some mates. Mean […]

UNCHAINED I think everyone knows what it’s like to not being able to ride and to be finally let off the chain, this example was caused by a new business before Corona shut down earlier this year and the urge is building again. Early starts After opening a new business time had become scarce, early starts and late finishes had...

The recent fires have left a lot of uncertainty about Dualsport Australia routes being open after fires smashed some areas. This opened up some opportunities to get some longer rides in and a chance to redeem myself with Troy, a local bloke with a new DR whose first ride with me had been a tad er adventurous. That first ride...

Christmas is here and a few days off. The regular posts and ride reviews from Dualsport Australia have been a casualty of opening a Fruit Stall called Tomartys on Sawtell Road. The stall has been a raging success at the expense of time to go riding making posts difficult. Talking about tomatoes and bananas hasn’t quite got the same ring...
