Pinnacles And Geraldton

The Pinnacles was our first destination for a drive through tour of the sand and rock formations.


Our destination was Jurien Bay, there is the worlds single biggest collection of HRD Vincents plus a few other goodies, just a few of the many that weigh my phone done now.



Ian Day (The owner) took me for a personal tour of the stable full of hot lusties, many of them 1 of 2 in the world.

It was magnificent to say the least, returning back down to earth and back to camp I went to the beach to find Ellen.

She was talking with some people as her new jandals had just been flogged…wankers.

Taking our wine and cheese to the waterfront to watch the sun go down we drunk away the bad spirits of oxygen thieves who steal stuff.

We had a crack at fishing the evening as well but lucky we had our lamb chops …again.

Geraldton being our next stop we swooped passed Dongara, the weatherman was delivering a big package that was about to hit, before we could do much down it came, Dongara Bakery was our shelter, by the time we got there we were wet so we sheltered and bought fud there. By the time we had finished having a scoff the sun was back out.

At Geraldton our mission was to change the engine oil in the bike, that is where we met Peter and Cheryl, Peter is part of the Ulysis MC Club and we were duly invited to a ride with them the following day, to ad to that he invited us around to his house and workshop to change our oil which was superb.

Cleanas bro !

We also met Nigel, a dude from Scotland on a BMW 1200GS who joined us on the ride as well.

A great ride was had with the lads and ladesses taking in some back country.


Nigels GS, stickers from everywhere...respect.

The aftermatch function was down at the waterfront with the international contingent making a good showing, thanks guys, was a great day and excellent night at the marble.




Finishing at Geraldton camp we went to Grahams, another rider on the trip and local and Kiwi, invited us to change out our rear tyre, again perfect timing.

When we went to blow up the tyre I could not find my tyre gauge…this was unusual as I am very particular about putting things back where they belong....hmmm.

We said goodbyes after getting sorted I could not find my riding earplugs either …this time I am thinking WTF…anyway we had The Pink Lakes on our list so off we trollied.

A big thanks to Peter for taking the time out to chat resulting in good times, oil change and tyre change, the power of knowledge and mates.
