Around Tenterfield

Autumn is on the air here!

Wet wet wet & wet

Shame about the weather - road between Casino and Tenterfield is very nice for riders! I guess winter is coming here now, with a breeze...

Around Brisbane

For my own reasons, I just wanted to avoid all the toll-roads near Brisbane, so by-passing it took a little more time than just using the highways:-)

Mt Mee and Glorious do provide excelent roads for riders! No doubt the same for many of the local hills too!

Anzac day

Only read a book today, Sigh for a Merlin, which sort of fits in with the Anzac day. Had the servicing done earlier, and its a small wonder how much the prices differenciate between different garages!

Queensland Air Museum

They got me at last: I bought myself a book about Spitfires...

Motorcycle Museum of Ipswich

Well, I thinkthey have on display the ugliest bike of the world! And the biggest one too. And the V2-engine sawed off from a Rolls Royce Merlin... 5000ccm, after the builder decided that it could be enlarged from the original size ;-) An aussie with a hacksaw and lots of beer, end results are unpredictable, but spectacular!

Army Flying Museum, Oakey

Just when I thought that nothing of interest will show up...

A pieceof Red Baron's triplane (it was an aussie who shot him), some curiosities that were purely made in Australia, only. A nice evening jacket for the airforce cadets, some stories how aussies get things done and an airport terminal of the right size.

There's been two finnish brands that have shown up every now and then. The other is Rapala.
