Swinging at Eastern Creek

My breath huffed out a rhythm I fought to keep controlled as the engine of the Period 4 Class, Honda DeWith 960 sidecar outfit I was swinging on, started revving to a thunderous tune.

 

 

 

 

Naomi Findlay prepares for Finke, the toughest off-road race in Australia in one of the most remote areas of the world…

Her training, her determination and committent… what it takes to just get to the start grid…

Part I of her story…

 

 

 

 

Spanners, grease and giving back…

From the age of nine with a premonition about being a grease monkey, this classy lady has found her calling as Head Mechanic and Businessowner of a successful motorcycle workshop in Townsville, North Queensland. Not content to just work there, she gives so much more to the community she lives in…

 

 

 

It’s all about the fit…

Meet this sassy businesswoman who has helped transform women’s motorcycle apparel into fashion statements… saggy and daggy be gone… dark and gloomy no more. Colours and lots of them, styles that show off our beautiful curves. Motorcycles are her life; she eats, breathes and races…

 

 

 

 

Tiki Touring the Waiarapa

Refreshed and eager to get back into the saddles, we discovered a different rural road east of Ekatahuna, then we turned south at Alfredton onto what could only be best described as a sheep-droving highway, by way of the sheep poo that completely littered the road, with dodgy fencing and way too friendly hawk’s…

 

Brrrrr…  feelin’ frosty

Okay, for those of you who ride where winter means snow, black ice lurking on shady bends, sleet slicing through leathers and freezing rain is considered a good day, 13^o is downright sub-tropical, but not so, for south-east Queenslanders. The coldest day last winter was 12^o C, bleak, foggy and spoken of in compassionate, hushed tones…

 

Love at first sight…

Leigh-Ann’s favourite place to ride is usually a coastal destination, though in saying that, practically no matter where you live in Aotearoa you’re only about an hour to the closest beach… and anything over two hours of riding is perfect.  She always stops to take photos because it’s all about the ride, the scenery, the euphoric feeling…

 

Who I am now

The enormous BMW adventure bike rocks violently left and right, forcing the rider to plant the left foot down several times, while fossicking for that elusive side stand; the challenge not going unnoticed by the gawking bystanders. One could almost sense their thoughts: ‘What’s the bet, 50:1?d

 

I wish I’d stayed on the couch

I was discussing the phenomenon of pre-ride anxiety and general worry-warting with another friend and her theory was, fear and excitement have the same effects; light-headedness, sweaty palms, fast heart rate, a sense of nervousness…

 

A self-care plan

He’s had a bit of work done to his innards, beefed up with a Stage 4 kit to a very fit and powerful 117 hp; in conjunction with his bold, bright and glittering colour, his wide stance, this eye-catcher not only looks sexy as hell, but verifiably goes like the clappers… making a powerful statement, wherever he goes.
