Co-incidentally I was looking through the latest issue of the local HOG Chapter magazine last night and noticed that the bimonthly meeting of the local HOG chapter was on this evening.  I needed to find out some definite information about a ride that was on this weekend so I decided to go. During morning coffee I spoke to fellow HOG Roy P about

Interesting what you find when you are trawling the web.  Not specifically related to owning a Harley, but it's always nice to know where you can park for free when you are in the City.  Newcastle City Council has some all day free motorcycle parking and some motorcycle parking guidelines.  You can see the info

Roy P called up in the early afternoon and suggested an impromptu ride for a couple of hours.  My eldest daughter was surprisingly keen to go so the answer was given and we threw on the gear.

After a quick fuel stop (14.74l @ $20.77) we headed to Roy's and the suggested destination was the Cathering Hill Bay Pub. The weather wasn't

The decision was made to buy a new Harley and the deposit paid, but now it was time to look through the expansive 2009 Harley Davidson catalogue that I've mentioned before to see what I could put on it to make it "mine". I had a budget in mind for the bike and the RRP of the Road King Standard left me some room to play.  So, added

Six and a bit months after my first ride of a Harley Davidson I have decided that they are for me. I know I still wear a full faced helmet, I like to put wet weather gear on when it gets cold or looks like rain and I haven't yet got a vest! But, completely aside from the fact I've got the wrong image, I really enjoy my Road King and I've started

Fortunately though, today it wasn't mine. And more fortunately no-one was seriously injured.

I learnt only a couple of weeks ago while leafing through a Harley magazine, about the concept of "Iron Butts" which essentially means riding long distances and getting a sore arse (or not) as the case may be. As a  result the local

The Harley Davidson 2009 Genuine Motor Accessories and Genuine Motor Parts book deserves a special mention.  I'd been told that there was a wealth of things (literally) that you can put on your Harley to make it your own.  I happened to be at the local Harley dealer looking at different bikes wondering what each type was for (that's another

This morning's weather was much like yesterday. Perfectly sunny with a slight chill in the air.  I needed to do a couple of things including booking my Road King in for a service with the Harley Guru.  I also wanted to chat to the guru about the impending trip across the Nullarbor and get an opinion from him about any risks involved in

I had a lunch appointment with my accountant nearby that I was heading towards and driving past home, where my Harley had been parked since the weekend ride undergoing bit by bit cleaning where time allowed. It was a lovely sunny day with a slight nip in the air today and I felt like getting the very shiny beast out for a spin so I dropped the car

With the weekend ride plan out the window, JP and I spent a little time on Google Maps last night trying to work out a new plan for today.  Initially we were to head to Tuncurry from Walcha to meet the HOG chapter for lunch, but we were only 100k's or so from there and it didn't give us much to do for the next 6 hours.  There didn't seem
