The ferry docks in Geelong roughly at 5am. There’s just enough time for some breakfast if people are quick enough (we weren’t) and then it’s full speed to get everyone off the ship so it can turn around for another sailing. This meant we were riding off at 5:30am and it was frigid. I have “never” experienced temperatures this low in Australia. Almost as soon as we rode out on to land the frigid air hit. Riding in these conditions is dangerous. The fingers become numb and it becomes difficult to feel the levers, especially the clutch. It was also way too early for a coffee break unless we happened to pass a 24 hour cafe ……….
From where we live in South Australia the riding time without stops is some 8 hours in total. While it is possible to do this in one day (we’ve driven to Melbourne in a day), it’s not safe to do so on a motorcycle as the levels of concentration need to be much higher. So we split the return across two days with an overnight stop in Mount Gambier.

We are Glynis and Chris and we’ve been riding forever (🤦♀️). Glynis passed her test in 1998, and Chris a few decades earlier.
Our riding history! We’ve ridden the length of England, Scotland and Wales on everything from a Suzuki 650S, Ducati 748R, Fazer 600, CBR600, VFR800’s and R1’s. We’ve taken BMW GS700s from Ushuaia to Machu Pichu in South America, taken RE Classic 500’s around Rajasthan in India, ridden off road in Cyprus, and covered a lot of New South Wales on R1’s and Fazer 600’s, and South Australia on MT09’s and now Kawasaki Z650RS’s.
The road never ends for motorcycle adventurers.
We’re all about bringing you a weekly #motovlog videos riding motorbikes, in particular our twin Kawasaki Z650RS’s. We do this full time. We love adventure travel, extreme travel, and sometimes just easy relaxing travel along with the odd skydive and bungee jump. Just like so many bikers, we need varied and specific clothing and equipment, tyres, good servicing, great routes and good mates. So we aim to offer you suggestions, our experience, our knowledge, and some genuine good ideas.
