Almost 8 years after our first big adventure together, MrAusadventure and I set off on a new one - It was awesome to be on a big ride together again. I felt like we just fell comfortably into our best old habits, re-creating some infamous moments from the first tour, before meeting up with Paul (VFR1200X) who was a welcome addition to the adventure for the next few days.
Day one was all about getting to Armidale, where the best dirt roads called us to the West. There were dramas and fun all the same :)
