crowe-ing

Just picked up my ride and had a first taste of Aussie biking. All's good, even in a busy city. Weather is cooler today and bit drizzly, but still great to be back on two wheels. For the bikers out there, my new best mate is a bit of a throaty beast. sluggish on start and rough round edges. Been there and done it all before, which I'm quite happy with. I'll tame it. Henceforth bike will be known as Russell (after Mr Crowe). Picture me astride my rough tough Aussie ride. ;0) Trip back to JD's was fine, no dramas and only got slightly lost... Got reasonable bearings after two days exploring city and its best suburbs. You learn to navigate by restaurants in the way we use pubs back in Blighty. So. One more night here in Melbourne and tmrw me and Russell head towards the Great Ocean Road - renowned as one of the entire world's best biker routes. It's calling me.... j
