Every journey starts with an idea, a desire, a sense of adventure. Its been almost 10 years since I first started the wheels turning on this little adventure, but there has been a long, long break and its time to get in the saddle once more. The world has changed a lot recently and as seems the direction at present, arguable not for the better. I don't pay much heed to the mainstream media or at least, you are a fool if you don't read between the lines of what you are being told.
To believe all that we hear would be folly and we would never leave the comforts and safety of our own privileged worlds. So I have chosen my next destination with this is mind, a land full of creatures that would take your life as soon as look at you and these are only the ones with two legs! Where giant rats roam freely, where tiny spiders can kill you in a moment and women will eat a man alive - Australia!
But before I depart for this Godforsaken land, I will be calling at the calmer shores to visit Hobbits and Elves; New Zealand. I`ve long wanted to visit the lust country and to see it on two wheels has to be one of the great travel experiences, one which I am greatly looking forward to.
Everything is organised and today I dropped the BMW at the shippers, fully prepped and ready to go. Its a two month voyage for the old queen, so she should be there sometime in January 2017 and I intend to fly out early February. The plan is to be here for 6 weeks, then organise shipping to Oz, there Ill be doing a clockwise navigation of the enormous island, taking in the red heartland and many dirt roads, as well as skirting the coast in the more remote northern regions.
Apart from that plan Ill be making it up as I go, no real plan, no real agender.........
