Finishing the Mawson Trail tomorrow. 900km gravel. Flinders Ranges. South Australia #bikesky #cycling #gravelbike

Track hazard. Flinders Ranges. South Australia #gravelbike #cycling

Day 1 Mawson trail - Blinman to Wilpena. #cycling #gravelbike

Another Sunday morning loop through Litchfield NP. Road pretty beaten up by the recent floods. #motosky #motoguzzi

Looking at all the new bikes on the market. Where have all the 700-800cc bikes gone? Looks like you can’t get a new R series BMW less than 1200cc now. A photo from us riding in the mid 90’s. The largest bike there put out 80bph. Enough for real world fun. #motosky #ducati

New tires to suit the roads and single track on the next multi-week bicycle tour. Old and new side by side. #cycling #gravelbike

A ride just south of Litchfield National Park this morning. #gravelbike #cycling

Some say the early V7 racers are underpowered for the highway. It gets to 130-140km/hr faster the almost all cars and can stay there all day. How many people cruise above 150km/hr anyway?You would lose your license for 6 months in most parts of Australia if caught. #motoguzzi #motosky

A moment to reflect during my short daily cycle commute. My Wilier has had a hard life in the tropics. My first Italian race bike from over 20 years ago. Frame is corroded nowadays. I am thankful that I live close to work and I get to ride this bike daily. #cycling #bikesky

Narrowed the charging issue down to the rectifier/regulator. Single-phase air cooler Ducati Energia stator produced 79V AC at 4000rpm. 0.2 ohms and no leak to ground. Voltage across battery terminals only 12.4V DC at 4000rpm. New part on the way. #motoguzzi #motosky

Record wet season. Crocodiles everywhere. Motorcycle hazard. #motosky www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03...

Outback touring in the 90’s on my ‘88 Ducati 750 Sport. Salt pans in the distance. Light brown exhaust meant the carburation was correct for the air/oil cooled engine at prolonged high speeds. The additives in the fuel then caused the colour apparently. Don’t see it now. #motosky #ducati

Some more photos touring in the 90’s. Heading to Alice Springs. Early start from Pimba roadhouse in South Australian desert. Fueling up the ‘88 Ducati 750 Sport. #motosky #ducati

Bike touring across the country in the late 90’s. That road sign is rare now but it means that there is no official speed limit. Ride to the conditions. 130km/hr on the BMW twin was the sweet spot with petrol stations up to 300km apart and kangaroos and emus about. #motosky

Moto Guzzi. Turning riders into auto-electricians since 1921. #motosky #motoguzzi

Brought my gravel bike over to Dili this time. Thought it would be much faster than my little folding bike but it wasn’t. #biketouring #gravelbike #cycling

#motosky #motoguzzi A handful of twins riding out to Wangi Falls. A bit of water flowing. A good wet season.

I somehow feel both seen and invisible at the same time…

A wet season ride out to Fogg Dam NT. Water over the road with Egrets fishing. #motoguzzi #motosky

Two Wheels was a popular Australian motorcycle magazine from the 1960’s through to the early 2000’s. Many of their original bike reviews have been digitised. It’s a brilliant historic resource. Highly recommend the site. #motoguzzi #motosky classictwowheels.com.au

Gang-gang on the Great South West Walk. Taken with a phone camera held up to binos. #birding #nature #hiking

Wet season morning bicycle. Darwin. #cycling

A pair of White-gaped Honeyeater chicks growing up in our backyard. Northern Territory. Australia Photos are taken 12 days apart. #birds #wildlife

Hot and humid tropical ride this morning. 300km loop through Litchfield NP. Northern Territory. The Guzzi was one of the few air cooled bikes. #motoguzzi #motosky #motorbike

Where did my little folding bike take me today? A road closed made for a detour. Shoes off to cross the inlet to walk along a beach to find another road. #cycling #foldingbike #bicycletouring

#foldingbike #bicycletouring #cycling Back on the little folder and a ride along the coast of the Eastern suburbs of Sydney.

One more photo from bushwalking this weekend. Sunset - top of Jim Jim falls. Kakadu NP. NT #hiker #hiking

Bushwalking in Kakadu NP over the weekend. Northern Australia. Lots of different habitats to visit with the stone country and some First Nations rock art. #hiking #hiker

The 90 deg V twin 270/450 pulsed firing. The sideways bob when you blip the throttle from the longitudinal mounted crank and flywheel. Brings a smile to my face even before I’ve left the driveway. #motoguzzi #motosky #motorbike

Afternoon cruise #motoguzzi #motorbike #motosky

#motosky #motorbike On my way to my local bicycle store and came across this BMW R65 cafe racer. Very nice.

Emboldened, work-shy Nazi thugs. They attack defenceless women in our parks. They deliberately commit affray, assault, and issue violent threats. Revoke their bail. Use police, media and bystander footage to lay new charges. Yesterday would have been a good time. www.theage.com.au/national/vic...

This loser calls the premier a coward. Yet he and his fascist mates attacked defenceless middle aged First Nations women on the weekend in Melbourne. Two women needed to be hospitalised. #Auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

World Solar Challenge started today. Cycled to watch the competitors leaving Darwin bound for Adelaide 3000km away. They have to adhere to the 130km/hr speed limit in the NT. #EV #Solar #renewables worldsolarchallenge.org

Afternoon walk to the beach for some zoomies. #dogs

Day walk today in Litchfield NP today. #hiking #hiker

Some people ride bikes for fitness, and others for transportation. Some ride for _______ 👇 ?

Saturday afternoon ride. Timor sea. #motosky #motorbike

If my old ‘92 BMW R80 monolever flat twin and my old ‘88 Ducati 750 sport longitudinal V twin had a baby together it would be my 2011 Moto Guzzi V7 racer. #motosky #motorbike

Love my bicycling and hiking but I still have a petrol head that’s hard to shake off. It does 5L/100km if that’s any consolation. Moto Guzzi V7 racer 2011. #motosky

Climbing away from Lake Ohrid this morning. #cycling #biketouring

Crossed the border today into North Macedonia. Lake Ohrid. #cycling #biketouring

Albanian cycling. My bike setup. #cycling #biketouring

Bicycle touring in the Albanian Alps. Quiet roads and friendly people. #cycling #biketouring

Pack my folding bike on a work trip for a Sunday ride. North coast of Guadalcanal. #foldingbike #biketouring #cycling

The Middle Arm petrochemical hub is to be built with $1.5B taxpayer money & allow more of NT to be fracked - damaging our climate, devastating local species & ppl's health This climate vandalism + Nature destruction must be stopped & govt $ withdrawn www.theguardian.com/environment/...

An enjoyable overnight walk to the top of Motor Car Creek just as the Dry season starts. Southern Kakadu. Northern Australia. #hiking #hiker

Suburban Darwin. Australia. I wonder why the dog keeps barking. Umm…better count to make sure all the chickens are still there. Large Carpet Python, with a big bulge, in one of the front yard trees. #snakes #wildlife

Local ride. Past mural on WWII munition bunker. Hope the current US govt hasn’t forgotten the horror of a world war. Bombing of Darwin. NT. Australia 73 years ago. #gravelbike #bikesky #bicycletouring

A ride on the folding bike out along a quiet coastal road and back into Dili. Timor-Leste. #foldingbike #bicycletouring
