Here I was thinking that a 300Km ride in a day was long, but here I am on my way to Tamworth in two days planning to ride the 4,000Km back to Bunbury over nine days. That's an average of 500Km per day - on a motorcycle and sidecar outfit that I have no experience whatsoever in riding.
I have to be thankful, though, that I will not be riding the Bonneville, which has a very unforgiving seat and suspension.
And the ride will go so much faster and so much better because, very importantly, the bike is half red and it looks great...
