Re: New Year's Resolution

Thanks Steve. Obviously I will be working so hard at the office I just won't have time to watch or remember riding past the HT access and exit points a few weeks ago with the posse. Thankfully, you will furnish all us lurkers with another video showing lots of it - hopefully with less death and dest...

Re: Desert Raid 2023 - Sat 12 August 2023 - Jupiter Well, Gary Junction Road

Well Steve, that is not what is meant to happen. I was wondering what you were doing sitting round in a camp for as long as it seemed. I know you are not the sitting in the caravan park sort of fella.I have been sitting in hospital with my Dad who has been critically ill with various things over the...

InReach 66i

I purchased a Garmin Montana after the event that saw the making of the video we put together a while back (see the link below). The InReach 66i worked exactly how it was meant to. I just wanted more, and I bought another GPS with considerably more function at considerably more cost. I figure with D...

A timely reminder. Good to have the device when you need it. Travel safe lads.

Re: New Year's Resolution

Looks like a traffic jam out there mate. I think I would check Google to see how the congestion is prior to setting out.

Re: New Year's Resolution

Thanks Steve.

Apparently one of the kids tells me they may have found something.

Fingers crossed.

Looking forward to the next part of the trip. I suspect you didn’t get kidnapped, but who knows with these Mongrel Dog movies. I would love to see the escape if you were…

Re: New Year's Resolution

Another ripper Steve. I would have said, “Don’t worry about kidnapping… unless they realise you’re that Mongrel Dog bloke, and they think you’re rich!” No problem with that though because you’re on a pushy- unless of course the kidnappers are 12year olds and they like your bike. What make is the tra...

Re: New Year's Resolution

Yes, it is good to see where the previous journeys took us. My ride started with my Dad selling his golf clubs to buy my bike. It was then a mater of getting pushed up and down the street until I got going. Great memories and terrific life skills. Fall off, get back on. There are a few more places o...

Re: New Year's Resolution

Well done Steve.

I got some inspiration and rode from Perth to Leighton and back yesterday. Not quite the same, but I do have the "Relive" video that makes me feel good.

Do you ever revisit your posts? I am certain they would generally bring back great memories?

Elspeth Beard, Round the World Motorcyclist

This is an amazing story. While I was at school and then uni this person was riding virtually solo and unassisted around the world. It’s not a polished video but if you watch it you will understand it probably was never going to be. This is an inspiration if you’re inspired by this sort of thing. ht...

Re: New Year's Resolution

Great to see you’re doing what you love. Mate if some knuckleheads want to kidnap you they would be sorely disappointed. I think you do the most kms for the least $$$ of anyone around the world! They might learn rather quickly what Mongrel Dog translates to I guess. Perhaps this ride you might not w...

Re: inReach SOS Activation Rider Down HD

Thanks for the comments Robert. I am pleased to hear you're back and riding. As Jean said, "Never take walking for granted." As I get on, I guess my bones become less robust and I'll be making certain my gear is the best it can be. However, in the end it is about getting out and joining ou...

Re: inReach SOS Activation Rider Down HD

Thanks Cookie and Happy New Year! I’m still getting the hang of the videos, replying and there’s still some way to go on both fronts. There’s now only 223 days until Desert Raid 2023, but who’s counting. Perhaps one further point I should have mentioned was, no food or drinks due to the medical situ...

Re: Year in Review - 2022

Steve your work and the life you are living is inspiring so many of us in so many ways. I was talking with someone you know well this week. We were in fierce agreement that when riding with you we consider you to be talented and a team member who is both a solid leader and a great team member depend...
