Start of the week took a few days off and went in search of some twisty roads in the Victorian High Country - pleased to report I found lots. You know when you see a sign like this its going to be a good day. Based myself in Omeo for 2 nights, first day did the Mitta Mitta, Lockharts Gap, Mt Beauty, Falls Creek loop. 340 kilometres of great sealed twisty roads - 6 hours in the saddle Top of Falls Creek Day 2 back up to Falls Creek, down to Mt Beauty, across to Bright then along the Great Alpine Rd across Mt Hotham before stopping in Omeo for lunch. 270 kilometres of fun. Then headed home along the back roads. Mt Hotham Great area to explore for those that like sealed roads. For those that play in the dirt there are heaps of tracks to lose yourself on. An area well worth exploring.
Went out a week or so back riding with some mates. Photo taken at 37°53'37.4"S 146°21'08.5"E My Terra and Brad's Strada. Not sure if he's on this forum..
my wife and i went on a 4 days camping trip from Perth to Hamelin Bay through the hills mostly on small gravel roads. Cave Road on my b-day was the icing on the cake
What's busted this time? Some nice roads north of Melbourne It's been a good day! More pics and bits here.
Four day trip through the Victorian Alps. 240kms of gorgeous scenery, river crossings and some of the toughest off road riding. The TR was flawless. Bounced around a bit on the rocky sections and clunked when I bottomed out over the jumps but handled the rough terrain very capably.
Mitas E09D. Probably much more aggressive than my riding requires, but I have 2 bikes. The Super Tenere is my highway bike and has road tyres.
This is not really "out and about" but I had a great experience today meeting up with another Terra owner in Ventura. We happened to meet by chance and spent some time trading info/stories. He was asking about my FI mods. He has a spoofer and it's not doing so well. I let him ride my bike to see how it compared and he came back with the statement "it's night and day different". Now I think he's looking to to upgrade from the spoofer. If he decides to go with a PCV I'll help him get it sorted out. We exchange biz cards and hopefully will get to do a ride together. This guy (Len) told me his brother has a Husky TR also. He told me he has 20+k miles on his Terra (on the left), NICE!
I will have to let our VP of Sales & Marketing know they have a mountain in Australia named after him.
Hello Everyone, The 3 images above are from a Solo Ride on Jan. 23 from Tagaytay, Cavite to Taal, Batangas. I'm a 67 year old photographer that has shot on the street since 1991 in such places as Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Morocco and here in the Philippines. I rode to the Heritage Town of Taal, Batangas to drop off some prints to my subjects that I had photographed in the Taal Market about a month earlier. After giving away the prints I continued riding around and came across Dado Ona's - Batangas Blades Store as seen on Discovery Channel's "Ride N' Seek Philippines" - Butterfly Knife Episode with Jaime Dempsey. I spent an hour with Dado and had a great talk. I also took some portraits and he will have his copies on Feb. 6th.
SORRY - Missed signing off in my above post. Although not bike related, I have attached some of my images of the people of Taal. I always return within 2-4 weeks and present each subject 2 each 4R prints as my way of saying Thank You. I have been doing this for 25 years and my batting average of returning prints is 90% in 4 countries. Regards to All Here and I hope that I did not take up too much space, Chris in PI
Hi Chris Nice photos . What tyres are those on the terra? I'm looking for something more road biased than the Mitas E07 I currently run. Also, what is that metallic cylinder on lower right hand side of the radiator?
