Preparation, packing and planes 11 days motorbike the South Island of NZ? Don’t mind if I do! Now, this would have been the most ludicrous idea 3 years ago, when I hadn’t even sat on a motorbike, let alone owned three. But now, you can’t wipe the smile off my face. So what’s the issue? Well, let’s just say, packing ain’t my strong suit and although I tend to travel on the lighter side, stuffing my belongings into a top...

On this overnighter, TribalMoto joined up with some lovely Gold Coast Motorcycle Enthusiasts Club members. The destination - chilly TEXAS,  Queensland. For great footage of this trip, head to our TribalMoto Travels Texas video, which includes a snippet of the good, the bad and the ugly of the trip... and boy was there some ugly in the pot hole department!   Here's how it went down.... WOW - what an amazing 800kms of scenery, from vast plains to rolling hills and...

On Saturday 4 June, we joined some lucky stall holders at a great event run by Race and Road in Archerfield to celebrate International Female Ride Day, and  East Coast Female Riders 5th birthday. As an ECFR sponsor, we were so grateful to be given the opportunity to participate and test out our designs face to face.  Three weeks prior, the rain set in and the event was postponed. This meant having the full market stall set up in the...

Day 6 - Mount Panorama, telephones in Tamworth oh, and apparently a Country Music Festival! Well OH was certainly up and at'em like a happy little vegemite this morning. With Mt Panorama glistening like a beacon in the morning FROST, off we popped, fully packed and a hot brekky in our bellies thanks to the KnickerBocker hotel. Pretty sure this part of the leg I had no say in. For most men and a lot of women, this mountain holds great interest....

TribalMoto Travels: Day 5 - bits, bumps and breaks -...

The focus on today's trip from Batemans Bay to Bathurst included bits, bumps and breaks. If only I'd known what the day would bring.....every emotion under the sun, and a couple more I didn't know existed ;)

Batemans Bay, Braidwood, Goulburn and Bathurst Oh if only I'd known what today would bring.....every emotion under the sun, and a couple more I didn't know existed lol We set off early - super organised and pumped to ride over the Clyde Mountain, which we'd both done before in cars, but never on motorbikes.  As we pottered around Batemans Bay looking at old haunts, stopping for obligatory pics then over the new bridge, we realised this morning was a tad...

Oh my aching everything...... lol Undoubtedly from gripping the handlebars for dear life yesterday, today I ache lol The butt is also sore, so let's hope the Air Hawk does its job. We had a great sleep at the Matador in Sale. As we shared a red wine and had a handlful of easter eggs for dinner (thanks to the courtesy bowl at reception), I was looking forward to brekky! I'm quite proud of my pretty amazing ham and cheese...

DAY THREE - RACING THE RAIN Today we left fairly late from Rosebud, heading to Wilsons Promontory, then onto Sale. This was not our original plan! From Rosebud, Andy headed to meet his brother (who also rides) early, so I had a chance to pack the bike myself before heading off to meet him at the cafe. I ride by myself all the time, but packing my panniers and top bag, chucking on my rain gear and saying farewell to...

What a rush today was, catching the ferry from Queenscliff to Sorento, then riding (or being pushed by the gale force winds) over Arthurs Seat to Rosebud.   A quick carb load brekky (white stuff) at the newly opened Eden Oak and we were off to catch the ferry. This exciting little trip takes around 45 minutes. When booking, we were 'advised' to stay with our bikes as the departure and arrival can be fairly bumpy. Of course, I was...

TribalMoto's Triumphant Transition - from Street Tri...

When other half (OH) suggested we get a cruiser to share I was nervous to say the least. I'm 5"2 and constantly learning on my Street Triple 660. Always searching for the best place to plant my tippy toes.
When other half (OH) suggested we get a cruiser to share I was nervous to say the least. I'm 5"2 and constantly learning on my Street Triple 660. Always searching for the best place to plant my tippy toes.   BEST DECISION WE EVER MADE  We did our research and a standout bike that would suit us both was the Triumph Bonneville Speedmaster. Low. Manoeuvrable. Sexy. There was one available with mid range controls, so OH picked it up in Melbourne and...

Riding with Mateoh

On the 8 March 2022 I was lucky enough to join Mateoh, his family and a small, amazing group of people to grant his wish. To ride on a motorbike.
It's time to ride!!!!! Helmets on and safely tucked into a cool side car, you couldn't wipe the smile of the face of this gorgeous little 5 year old, who is in the fight of his life battling a rare condition called Chronic Granulomatous Disorder (CGD).  On the 8 March 2022 I was lucky enough to join Mateoh, his family and an amazing group of fellow motorbike riders, including ECFR members, to make his wish come true....to ride on a motorbike. To help...
