Touring is thirsty work!.
Our 25th Wedding Anniversary Adventure – USA Bound! This trip was all about celebrating a pretty special milestone – 25 years of marriage with my better half! ❤️ We’d been talking about heading over to the States for a couple of years, tossing around ideas and dreaming about the places we’d visit. Eventually, we decided …
The Rocks, Sydney – One of Our Favourite Places to Get Thirsty! There are plenty of places in Australia worth visiting, but The Rocks in Sydney is definitely one of our favourites! With Circular Quay, the iconic Harbour Bridge, the Opera House and enough pubs to keep a couple of thirsty tourists occupied, what’s not …
ABCs of Touring – An Overnight Adventure to Clermont With our HOG (Harley Owners Group) ABCs of Touring challenge underway, we decided it was time to saddle up the trusty TriGlide and head off on an overnight adventure to Clermont in Central Queensland. After all, ticking off the ABCs is a great excuse to get …
That’s a Wrap – Until the Next Adventure! After yesterday’s gear selector drama with the Harley-Davidson Ultra, we decided it was time to call it a day and head straight home. We’d had enough mechanical excitement to last us a while, thank you very much! With the gear selector already causing trouble, there was no …
Heading Home – Machinery, Mountain Views and Mechanical Mayhem! Our eight-wheeled adventure (well, a few motorcycles between us!) was slowly drawing to a close, and today would bring us another step closer to home. With around 415km to cover, we had a fair bit of road ahead of us, but there was one planned stop …
Longreach – Qantas, Stockmen and a Rather Dark Walk Home! Today was a relatively easy day in the saddle, with only around 180km to cover and Longreach as our destination. After a few longer days on the road, this was practically a rest day! Well, a rest day by touring standards, which still seems to …
Winton Bound – Crocodile Dundee, Classic Outback Pubs and a Few Harley Tales Today’s adventure would see us cover around 350 km heading towards Winton. Now, I’m not going to pretend this was the most exciting stretch of road we’ve ever travelled. Let’s just say the scenery wasn’t exactly keeping us on the edge of …
Tequila Regrets, Border Photos and a Ride to Cloncurry We awoke to a new day in Mount Isa. Well, I awoke, anyway, although my head was taking its time catching up with the rest of me! After helping my mate John finish off a bottle of tequila the night before, I was beginning to question …
Freezing Our Way to Mount Isa We woke to a rather brisk 3°C this morning. Three degrees! This is Queensland, not an expedition to the South Pole! Unfortunately, when packing for this adventure, we hadn’t exactly planned for weather that could freeze the smile off a brass monkey. Our riding gear was ready for touring, …
Harleys, Outback Highways and a Bush Pub with History After a great night of good food, cold beers and catching up with friends, it was time to saddle up and hit the road again. There’s only so long you can sit around enjoying yourself before that pesky touring schedule starts calling! Today’s adventure would take …
