Introduction

This site has been set up to share my motorcycling experiences with friends, fellow travellers and other interested surfers; and, hopefully, to provide some vicarious pleasures, as well as useful tips, information  and insights.

It describes my motorcycle tours within Australia and abroad. It reports on experiences I've had 'on the road', such as hotels, camping, communications etc. I include my feeling about bikes I’ve owned and ridden at home and on overseas tours. I’ve got a few stories to tell by the fireside; and have a page on the odd things one comes across while riding. 

I've also got a page on non-motorcycle meanders to share other adventures.

I plan to do a bit of blogging. And there’s an invitation for you to contribute through the guest book.

I hope you enjoy this site and find some useful tips at the same time.

The Dragon and Dragon Rider
 

You’ll find the answer here. Check out a blog on this dated 1 July 09. It’s under My Blog.

The Obligatory Bits and Pieces

I'm trying to keep up-to-date with these, but I'm not always consistent. I don't feel the need to confine My Blog or Twitter to motorcycle issues. They're about whatever grabs me at the time. Take them on that basis. Follow me on Twitter - even on your mobile. Send me a message. I'd like to hear from you.

Slide Shows

Look out for slide shows in pages on Rajasthan, Turkey, Morocco, Fireside (in the El Crucero story), Big Trip North, Old Mail Routes, Endeavour Voyage, Jordan, Dalmatia, Rome and Venice, and Kirtling.
