* My dream to ride my bike from Brisbane to Ayers Rock in the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park *

Wow! People actually read them???

I'm honestly quite surprised that people actually read my blog. Am I officially a writer now? I guess so... After all, this is obviously more then updating my status on Facebook!

Anyway, have not been spending much time on the planning side for these last few days but have definitely gained motivation in making this journey by the interest and support given by my friends and loved ones. Quite a few people have visited the blog - and I made 14 cents so far by people clicking the advertisement links!!! Woohooo... I'm gonna be rich soon!!! So, keep clicking guys...!

Someone asked me today, "Why are there only pictures of your bike in all your traveling pics?". "Well..." I said, "I can take my bike's picture but my bike can't take my picture...". I just realized the downside of solo ride. And I think I better add my tripod into the packing list. I have carried my fishing rod (and the 24 fishes I caught!) with me on the bike so I'm sure a tripod would be alright...

Anyway, need opinion; who thinks the BMW Airflow riding jacket below is nice? It's bloody expensive... BUT... the product description says, "The AirFlow suit is perfect for keeping cool when the temperature rises. The black version features intelligent coldblack® technology, which prevents the material overheating, while the silver version features a NanoSphere® coating to prevent the accumulation of dirt. A special Kevlar© three-layerlaminate and removable NP protectors ensure maximum rider safety."... and it will also make me look good... :-)

So, the verdict, please... a top of the range BMW hi-tech-look-good jacket or a more reasonable normal brand one??? Travel in style, eh...

  7. Thanks, Sab! The camera is exactly what I had in mind. I think I can either strap in on my arm or clamp it on the bike. It's for shooting scenic pics without having to dismount the bike or even stop!

    The Dririder jacket I've seen in the shop. Does the website you give sells online? Any place you know who sell those, other than at Slacks Creek?

  8. This is another one, but this is BMW. My office mate rides a Triumph but upgrading it to a BMW, and he gave this link:

  9. Bro,

    If it makes you more aerodynamic as well..go for it. Anyway, i have a hunch you already made up your mind to buy it.

    BTW, bumped into Azam Bank Negara at BTHO...
