Well, i have decided that next year i am not going to go the World Superbikes round at Phillip Island, instead, i am going to take a 10 day trip to Tassie on my bike!
Something i have always wanted to do, and apparently Tassie is pretty bike friendly in lots of ways...
There just happens to be a great touring guide to Tassie in the July/August edition of Australian Road Rider magazine...including 6 pre-set tours that you can do whilst your there....
I am going to take the Missus, and i will be doing it on either the "Touring Mule" FZ6, or maybe on an upgraded touring bike...i do very much like the look of the new Triumph Sprint GT that has just been released for the amazing price of $15999 Australian!!!!
Much more affordable, and sensible than my previous infatuation, the BMW 1300R!!!
Am going to take off in the first week that the kids, and Uni's go back to school after end of year/ christmas break....quiet time for work, and probably a quiet time for rubbernecking, wrong side of road lurking tourists in their Brit's vans!!!!
Weather should be tip top about then too????
Now it's off to find out all the info about Ferry's, Accomodation, etc, etc...
If anyone is interested in joining me and my partner on a bike touring holiday in Tassie, about the end of January next year....
