It has always been my passion to ride my bike on a "quest" - a long journey to a dream destination. Of course the ultimate dream is to go for an endless journey on an unlimited time, exploring and wandering at the same time, soaking yourself into the experience and excitement of the journey itself just like Ted Simon in Jupiter's Travels : Four Years Around the World on a Triumph
but TIME has always been the major constraint. One day, if I ever get to achieve my target to retire while I'm still relatively not-that-old and my back problem doesn't get any worse than this; then I will go for that endless journey but for now, I'd have to settle for a ride somewhere, anywhere... just me and my bike...

Now that I'm in Australia, it's the perfect opportunity to do just that. Wide straight road of the outback has been calling me ever since I arrived here. That's why I switched from my 1st love, my Harley Softail:
but I still keep my Harley though...
So, it started with a dream (which the wife approves!) to do the 7,000 km journey (the distance includes return trip - the promise to the wife is to come back in one piece...) to go see one of God's wonders on a solo bike trip through the wild and mysterious Outback...
Stay tuned...
Stay tuned...
