About Me

I live in Melbourne, Australia. I've been riding for three years but I've wanted a motorcycle for more than 20. Loving the vstar - she's my favourite toy.

I ride to work and back every day and go for a cruise most weekends. I clock up an average of 20,000kms (12,000 mi) each year on the bike. There are plenty of places to go here in Victoria - we're really spoilt for choice. My favourite runs are down the Peninsula to Pt Nepean (160km/100mi round trip avoiding the freeway) and up into the hills thru Emerald, Launching Place and then back again (about 200km/120mi too).

I'm an amateur photographer and take photos most times I go out riding. You can see a lot of my work at http://www.thegravenimage.com

I joined the Ulysses Club in February '09. It's a motorcycle club for over 40's. I've been on a few rides with the Melbourne branch guys - great times!

My order from CC took only 7 days (5 business days) to get to me once the items were in stock - awesome!

The rest of my CC order has been posted! Woo hoo! Hopefully I'll be able to do some more work on my baby next weekend.

  For those of you who are interested in the final result of the oil filter relocation kit install, here's some pictures of my bike with it installed. You can see the chrome filter cover just peeping over the exhaust pipe there. I was a bit worried that all that chrome might look out of place on...
