    My latest fillum

    Last month I was dispatched to Queensland to do a factory Adventure ride - on my bike. The stuff I'm sure many of us dream about.
    Lou martins action shots are superb. I got a few beauties too. A Cover Story - just. What a blast!

    Excellent stuff Dave.

    I'd say you were a lucky bastard but I'm know how much needs to go on behind the scenes...

    Keep up the good work.
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Y'aint the first one! - It begins

    ----------------------------

    Her Misery.

    Poor Co-pilot. She’s such a stoic girl.

    When the Ed rang with the news that I was to be dispatched to the ‘2007 Buell Ulysses and SuperTT Ride Adventure.’ in Far North Queensland – ‘Crocodile country’ - her misery began.

    News of the three day ride from Cairns to Cooktown and beyond Cape Melville was relayed intermixed with bad Crocodile Dundee impersonations.

    ‘The Funnelweb spider can kill a man in eight seconds, just by lookin' at him, Michael J. "Crocodile" Dundee said.’

    ‘Oh no, you can't take my photograph.
    Oh, I'm sorry, you believe it will take your spirit away?
    No, you got the lens-cap on.’

    ‘That’s not a bottle opener…THIS…..’ Etc etc etc.

    It became her daily fare. 2 weeks of it.

    Then I added that the ride was through some of the most spectacular world heritage listed areas on the continent…on a motorcycle that is our current favourite…and it’s to her enormous credit that she even picked me up at the airport on the way home.

    Most of my friends just said ‘b*stard!’ and changed topics.

    From the Big Dave chair however, the whole thing was rather jaw-gapingly, bugger-me! Amazing.

    ---------------------

    say ya comin' ;-)

    Were you gong round in circles, cos you did the same river crossing 6 or 7 times in both directions, and even went over the bridge a few times

    I take it that the STT made it the whole way? God, I've got to buy one of them

    There and back and there were squilllllions of 'em.

    One of the TT's had an electrical fault - very minor - bent pin in one of the connectors. The other did the business dandy.
