  1. Call of Cordura

  2. Riding around Europe Post 6 : Porto to Lisbon

    On the coast road to Lisbon, I began to feel like a traveler. Despite its clean by the Porto Vespa club, the bike was again dusty and bug splattered. My riding jacket was equally dusty along with my boots and my helmet had its own particular patina..

    The road bumped between little coastal villages, then cut through a 700 year old man made pine forest. The scent in the early morning air was sharp and cleaning.

    I spent two nights at Figuera da Foz ...

    I have taken the opportunity of enrolling on the Lower Hutt City Council sponsored and Roadsafe motorcycle course for Sunday 26 June, the course is also available on Sunday 14th August. The cost is only $20 and is from 9am to 4.30pm.

    Though I have ridden many kilometres and had numerous bikes, over the last 15mths I did not ride very much at all, probably less than 1,000km. Now having recently bought a GSR600 it will be very worthwhile having a review by Andrew and Lynne Templeton ...

  5. Riding around Europe Post 5 : Santiago de Compostela to Porto

    The pilgrim's goal, the cathedral at Santiago DE Compostela did not disappoint.
    At 9am on a rather dull Monday morning it was full to bursting. A young nun was taking the service and she was going hammer and tongs, her high pitched voice making the most of the 1000 year fine tuning of the acoustics. The building dominated the square, indeed the town .
    Fine carvings inside and out , somber priests in full regalia, the pious, the footsore and locals . Sandals and shoes scraping ...

    The question has come up about why CREATURE refers to himself as a third person, well quite simply, why the fuck not. we all have 2 faces in life some have more, 1 that we wear in private and 1 that we wear in public. CREATURE has at least 3, the way CREATURE talks on this web page makes him unique if you dont like it then go cry to your mummy about it cause CREATURE doesn't give a shit. if you are the sort of dumbass that likes to change people to suit them i would imagine your also ...
