One current hobby is being a signed-up member of the temporary citizen club. I have owned and ridden a number of motorcycles over the last few years. Here is a collection of my reports that I've sent to the lists over various years. No page is complete without the obligatory Bikes I've Owned page. Trip Reports Chase the Snake 2003 A ride through the eastern part of Washington, Canada and Idaho on the aprilia. Snowy Mountains Nov 2002. Repeat of last year's ride, but this time four days rather than three. This time I learn how to light up the rear tyre mid corner and that the VTR is a better bike than the VFR :). Snowy Mountains Nov 2001. A fundraising ride for the Childhood Cancer Institute. Staying in Jindabyne and 3 days of tyre-shredding fun. Round Australia trip pictorial.
