    The summer with all the rains have come to a end this side of the continent--The dead yellow-brown grass is only a reminder of what was once green grass. The odd flower that still bloom is only to remind us that they are only in bloom during winter.

    Needed to clear my head and took the 610 out to explore some new roads along some railway tracks. Total trip was about 500km for the Saturday and Sunday.
    Just remembered Why I ride bike---

    Here are some pics.

    Nice pictures! The best therapy you can get, is just riding your motorcycle. I dont care if its on the freeway, backroad, trails, motocross. When you get hurt and cant ride for a couple months and how crazy you get!.! thanks for sharing

    Is it safe to ride out there solo. Are there some pretty ordinary critters just waiting for a feed?

    Hehe - very safe-hardly find a car or truck on the roads. Only have the odd wild animal jump or run across the road.

    Going later this year to ride in a game farm next to a National reserve. Fences have been dropped. Going to be a new experience to ride among Lion-Elephant -Rhino etc. Now that one has to be wide awake. Only done this a few times...
