Tranquil time out No.2

Would love to have this as my shop I have not been riding for a few weekends, just catching up on some other things about home as well as spending a lot of time working out my next motorcycle tour plan. Decided to put my money where my mouth is and purchase some items to try and meet the 10 point visibility as suggested in my last post. Once these arrive I shall review and do a follow up

Be Seen, Be Safe

I received an email from a Motorcycle Paradise reader recently who has been injured when an elderly driver pulled out in front of him. His headlight was on and his motorcycle was brightly coloured yet the driver apparently didn’t see him. He is in hospital now and wrote one handed to tell me his story which has really got me thinking about what studies have been done about this problem. The

The top 10 Motorcycle tours in the world

Update. Well since I wrote this I have started to ride the top 10. Elsewhere on this blog you can find my ride reports for Europe Alps, North America, Japan and New Zealand.

New Earplugs

If you dislike regular foam earplugs or find they do not stay put in your ear then consider giving the silicon ones a try. You can get

Helmet Windjammer

I took my previous Shark RSR helmet out for a spin yesterday to revisit an item designed to cut wind noise on helmets I had purchased some years ago. Called the Windjammer II from Proline Sports UK I first purchased this to use on a KBC helmet I previously owned that was particularly noisy. On that helmet riding the Buell XB Lightning I found little change so discarded the Windjammer until

Hide and Seek

That's the game I think I was playing with the scattered showers today when I decided to do a smaller then usual southern ride.
The weather looked fine this morning and after a slow start I got on the road sometime before 8.00am with no real plan other than south. I know I ride there a lot, I did look at a northern ride last night and the distance to Maleny and Murwillumbah are about the same
