Yup, Tasmania is a beautiful is one beautiful state.
Of course is going to be cooler , but prepare, and enjoy one of the many parts of Australia, if you haven't been there, missing out, seriously. Motorcycles are so welcome there, people, if ya human beings are also very welcome.
Just watchout for the fucken wine drinking wallaby's at Freycinet, but one hell of a place, I shoulda stayed at.......

And now vehicles are free till end of may (ish)

Soap make sure you bring lots of warm gear for May. We will be starting to get frosts at that time as well so that will have an impact of where you intend to go on the bikes. Just a warning.

I saw this episode and I was up there yesterday with the grandkids and daughter. Such an lovely spot. The Jacobs Ladder is a bit daunting as there are no safety barriers to talk of. I don't think I would go up there on a bike though, especially not a Harley, rough road with a fair few potholes. And one wrong twist of the right hand grip could see you over the edge

Jacobs Ladder

Hey AJ, so good to see a learned friend on the dial again. You old fella, have a wealth of knowledge that I have read over the years, and very much appreciated AJ. Me , I'm just the guy that saw the guys hang em selves and silly stuff as such.
Rebuilding a 600 Yamaha, and would rather connect with yourself if you had time, than someone who knows how to rope a noose.
Tasmania is a join t maybe a few should ride over too, new or again, and absorb the goddam beauty of the Isle, unless we get picked off by the FC and Mrs FC for being Mainlanders with the covernant catch 22. I wanta go back but thinking WA has me calling in, which is another most beautiful state.
I love Australia.

Don Quixote
The plot revolves around the adventures of a noble (hidalgo) from La Mancha named Alonso Quixano, who reads so many chivalric romances that he loses his mind and decides to become a knight-errant (caballero andante) to revive chivalry and serve his nation, under the name Don Quixote de la Mancha. He recruits a simple farmer, Sancho Panza, as his squire, who often employs a unique, earthy wit in dealing with Don Quixote's rhetorical monologues on knighthood, already considered old-fashioned at the time. Don Quixote, in the first part of the book, does not see the world for what it is and prefers to imagine that he is living out a knightly story.

The book had a major influence on the literary community, as evidenced by direct references in Alexandre Dumas' The Three Musketeers (1844), Mark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884), and Edmond Rostand's Cyrano de Bergerac (1897), as well as the word quixotic and the epithet Lothario; the latter refers to a character in "El curioso impertinente" ("The Impertinently Curious Man"), an intercalated story that appears in Part One, chapters 33–35. The 19th-century German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer cited Don Quixote as one of the four greatest novels ever written.[7]

When first published, Don Quixote was usually interpreted as a comic novel. After the French Revolution, it was better known for its central ethic that individuals can be right while society is quite wrong and seen as disenchanting. In the 19th century, it was seen as a social commentary, but no one could easily tell "whose side Cervantes was on". Many critics came to view the work as a tragedy in which Don Quixote's idealism and nobility are viewed by the post-chivalric world as insane, and are defeated and rendered useless by common reality. By the 20th century, the novel had come to occupy a canonical space as one of the foundations of modern literature.

Considered "the best literary work ever written", it topped the list of the best literary works in history, which was established with the votes of one hundred great authors of 54 nationalities at the request of the Norwegian Book Club in 2002; thus, it was the only exception in the strict alphabetical order that had been arranged.
Believe Mr. Dan read such a book and has re enacted, donkey exchanged for more accommodating transport. Just wish he'd stop saying 'we will drive, when ya riding a fucken motorcycle' Ya ride...
Probably right off mark -and go back out into shed to to motorcycle stuff.

Welll, thanks steelo.
Few questions, just from my own confused and mixed up mind...nothing unusual here..
Firstly, how in the hell have D and P , managed to survive without forgoing their sacred Mc Donald's , shite.
Secondly why stat here they did when Saint Mary's had , has maybe good accommodation, and some dam good road Rides?
Thirdly, they could be doing the jazz that they are doing ong a Postie Honda 110 cc step through..
Fourthly I could go on. But what the hell am I commenting on this at wat3.15 in the morning, concerned that these blokes dont have MacDonalds, and they do noy even drink, let alone take the coloured pills,,

Love any bike story though, suckker big time...

Yep I am sick to the guts of seeing bikes bogged on beaches and in sand too Rick, wish they would move on from that and try something a little more daring like riding off cliffs or similar.

I can't knock em as I got time for people who will have a go!
Mick first time I went around Tassie I don't think they had Macca's back then, I think I went from Stanley then down west coast & was not until I got to a motel or hotel? on Franklin River that I could get a feed. But it was a good feed! I loved it! Stayed in Huonville for a while loved that.

Yeah, the drone footage was good I admit that. Funny that he does not purposely get the drone bogged/submerged in saltwater.
