My self care motorcycle and photography adventure

My self care motorcycle and photography adventure

After dreaming about it for more than 25 years but putting it off to keep others happy, at the end of last year I finally got my motorcycle licence and a bike.

After a most relaxing ride this afternoon I thought this would be a good idea for a thread as it is most definitely part of my self care strategy.

I'm sure anyone who has ridden a bike will understand what I mean 😁

Until today my rides have been just that, rides. I tried it out this afternoon and want to allow more time for stops and enjoy another self care activity. Photography. If I can share some of those photos then maybe others can enjoy the ride with me 😊

Me too @TAB @Determined Open Motorcycle license.

It was so hard to get that license - compulsory training (several days), etc.

Yet I have not ridden since 1995.

I rode from Sydney to Brisbane, & back again (that was a long ride).

I am on a restricted licence for another 15 months @TAB @Adge

There is a group ride from Adelaide to Alice springs mid year that I would love to do but unfortunately it clashes with uni assessment dates. That would be ~6500km round trip.

Have a ride planned with my mum in the next couple of days. Weather has prevented our big ride we had planned but hoping to fit that in before uni starts back up again.

5 hours and 250 km today around some mountain ranges today.

Hoping to do a ride inland to the west of about 400km in the next week or 2.

It is looking more like our big ride will not happen now until mid or end of year. Road in to where we were planing to go (about 10 - 15km stretch) is a bit rough apparently.
