On The Road Again.

Well after the recent dramas with lost keys I am on the road again. The funny thing is on Monday I got a call from the Spirit of Tasmania lost and found office and surprise they found my key, they told me that it would be in Melbourne on Tuesday morning, in the meantime dad had sent my spare key via overnight express so come Tuesday afternoon I had two keys.
Thanks to fellow Spyder rider Bill ( pictured above ) I managed to save $600 dollars on my 10,000 km service which is a great relief. Bill put me on to Kon and Jon two brothers who run High octane Motor Cycles In Thomastown, they offer a professional and friendly service and I even got my bike cleaned as part of the service.

So if you are travelling and need your Spyder or other Brand of bike serviced contact them at High Octane on 03 9465 3555.

Bill and his wife Leanne showed me great hospitality, while I was in Melbourne, Bill arranged for my service and on Tuesday afternoon I followed him to the Bike shop which is 35km from the Hostel and he kindly returned me to the Hostel, as well as that he picked me up on Wednesday and drove me to pick up my bike and invited me to stay at his house last night.
On Thursday morning we did a tour around some of the areas that where effected by the Melbourne Bush fires. The ride from Yea to Seymore is a great bike road as well. It is good to see that much of the area is recovering well.
I also got to see Ned Kelly's Home which was built in 1859, 150 years before I was born. I took some photos of it however they didn't turn out, I am still getting used to my new camera, I lost the other one and when I lost my Key on the ship I left the old camera on the seat of my motorbike in my flustered efforts to find my bike key some arse stole my camera, luckily I had copied all the shots to my Lap-top.. I would lose my balls if they weren't in a bag...

I am currently at Lorne on the Great Ocean Road and will be staying at Apollo Bay until Sunday morning,I will soon be in Adelaide. The great Ocean road is awesome and what a bike ride, with a view to die for. Once again thank you to Bill and Leanne for your great help and hospitality, come up and visit me and my family in Qld anytime, the welcome mat is out and the kettle is on!
