Hey you gotta remember were Northerners so at around minus three and just like that popular old song baby it was cold outside! I was nervous thinking even those fantastic Heat Demon heated grips on the Adventure Bike Australia DRZ400 and D’Oh forgetting my thick...
I travel light, well I think I do……. The Adventure Bike Australia DRZ400 is not a big machine (neither am I) so I try to keep it simple. In the days of Gold Coast Suzuki we ran free overnight adventure rides every month. We stayed in pubs (my preferred...
Very cool and very very dry conditions were the order of the day for last weekend’s Northern Adventure Congregation hosted by our friends of the above magazine and the extremely good folk of Green Valley Farm. An excellent turnout of around 250 riders was well...

I’m not sure why it’s taken me so long, but I finally got to do the Sundown National Park Adventure Bike Ride with three of my good friends over the Queensland Labour Day long weekend and what a good ride it is! We didn’t want to be in there too...
I’m head’n to Grafton to meet up with Northern Rivers Adventure Riders who’s with me? The plan was simple five of us would head off on our own adventure loop on the Saturday morning stay at a Grafton pub where we would meet with the NRAR on the...
