Hi all,
I have not been around much, as i have recently finished a ride around the coast of Aus (Thankfully NOT on the Bimota  ) for those interested here is a link to my travel blog, showing some remote locations around Aus..http://rpo83.blogspot.com/
Just letting Aussie members know that the FOIM is on this weekend..http://www.foim.asn.au/FOIM/FOIM_2011.html
I'll be there on the SB6, hope to see a few of you there, i'll post pics next week, there is usually a lovely assortment of all flavours of Italian exotica, both old and new.
Cheers
Steve |

| Just started reading, but may have to save until works time, as it looks far more interesting. Note to GeeKay, "blogs"? for your next trip, and I hope you've been on a Professional Photography course since last time, stunning pictures in this story for sure |

Yeah that's my fault. I remembered reading this post ages ago but only just got around to reading Steve's blog today. I thoroughly enjoyed reading as i've seen a lot of the places and travelled some of the roads myself. Not on a bike though.
