Two stories of UK to Australia
Western Australia & South Coast, NSW.
Two new members of the VJMC, both from the UK, two very different riding experiences and living on the opposite sides of Australia. Both new members were thoughtful enough to share some of their story with fellow VJMC members via the Forum. Meet them both.

Brisbane to Bendigo for the VJMC National Rally
Brisbane - NSW Country - Bendigo.
After numerous postponements I knew the day had finally arrived when the bikes started rolling into the Bundamba Ampol Servo at Ipswich, south west of Brisbane on Wednesday 23rd March. Of the 10 riders assembled only 5 were going to Bendigo. Five were going to leave the group at various stages, however 2 members from Northern NSW were joining us at Gunnedah, the first night stop. The route chosen would take us on sealed country roads, avoiding the busy highways where possible and stopping roughly every two hours for rest and fuel.

Annual ANZAC Day Tiddlers Run
Gippsland. Vic.
The meeting place was to be the usual ie. at the Longwarry Caltex Eastbound on the 25th of April at 10:00 AM.
Some would be riding 100cc and 125cc bikes. The route would be via the back roads and built-up town roads on the north side of the freeway to Darnum for fuel and lunch. Then return to Longwarry on the south side of the freeway via town and country roads. There is always heaps of room for parking your car/trailer at the Longwarry Caltex.
Everyone is welcome but don't expect to ride faster than 70kph.

First Ride Out - "The Outrider" DT250A
Sydney. NSW.
After 38 years laid up off the road, 5 years of that under my ownership attempting a rebuild then chasing electrical gremlins, my DT250A is once again officially N.S.W. road registered and begging to be ridden.
My first ride had to be epic so I just went ahead and loosely planned a 300km big day out riding the backroads and dirt roads of the Blue Mountains, west of Sydney.
- No break down plan.
- No Spares.
- No worries mate!
