Hi All,

Just a quick intro about myself, I have been riding for 40 years and have recently dabbled back into adventure riding after a serious accident in 2010.

I blame a friend of mine who coaxed me back via a Harley trip in 2015 to this riding caper and generally I am a better human when I have a bike in my life.

My weapon of choice is a BMW F900GS which I may have killed last ride, see photo, but expect to be back on the road in the new year..

Shed has in safe keeping, a Road King, KTM 640 Adventurer, and depending on the insurance assessor BMW F900GS.

Looking for rides to Cameron Corner, New England and Northwest NSW.

This has been a challenge to get started, but it's incredible what can be achieved when you follow the instructions. Might have needed reading a couple of times, but hey, got there in the end. 😜

The basic concept that worked was not to use the SR10 for its intended purpose and instead to use it exclusively for the wired UHF connection, and nothing else.

Here's the Pairing Process;

It is best to clear all current Bluetooth pairs to get started with a blank canvas. (50s Headset Configuration Setting, press and hold Jog for 10s, turn right to hear "Delete All Pairings", Phone Button to select)

No mobile service available, the way it should be when attending the Adventure Moto Australia Dirty Weekend. It's MotoCamping on a big scale. Which, of course, includes all the things you'd expect on such a trip, wet boots, bonfires literally built with heavy machinery, ice-cold drinks and overnight temperatures that created a symphony of chainsaws among hundreds of tents across the paddock.

I had so many great conversations over the weekend with so many truly incredible people that by the time I had engaged introvert mode for the cruisey trip home, I had a big smile on my face and was inspired for a season of adventure riding ahead.

Seriously, 90 bucks for a whole weekend of fun and bloody good food, plus plenty of entertainment thrown in, Llewelyn Pavey from Brake Magazine sharing his immense knowledge, and a Gymkhana of fun with a vast mix of bikes and characters, and getting…

Hi all, Well i'm in my mid 50's and haven't ridden a bike in 35 years, not since leaving the farm all that time ago. I always wanted to get my licence and ride, but you know the story, job, kids, family, yada yada yadaa. My son is now going through the licensing process and i've decided why not, i love the bush and going off track and its time to live for a change. So getting the gears, the licence, and confused on where to start with a bike, i'll get there in the end. Cheers.

The wait is finally over! After months of planning, dreaming, and recovering from spinal surgery, I found myself back in the saddle—this time, at the start of an epic journey through one of the most spectacular and demanding landscapes on Earth: the Indian Himalayas.

Episode 1 of my Himalayan Motorcycle Adventure Series kicks off in Srinagar, the capital of Jammu and Kashmir, nestled at an altitude of around 1,585 metres. Riding through the bustling markets, past shikaras on Dal Lake, and into the heart of the Kashmir Valley was a surreal way to begin. The smells, colours, and chaos of the streets were a sensory overload—and a perfect reminder of why I love riding in India.

But the real adventure began as we made our way towards Sonmarg, a beautiful hill station surrounded by towering pine forests and alpine meadows. From there, we tackled the Z-Morh Tunnel, a newly built route…
