OK here it is...The aim of our adventure is to travel across Australia and around South America (then maybe back around Oz) for 6 to 8 months (or maybe 11) on two motorcycles. The plan is to jump on our two KLR650's here in Perth and head east over the hills. We will aim to reach Sydney within a couple of weeks before embarking for Santiago, Chile by plane. Once in South America, we will circumnavigate the lower half of the continent over the course of the months soaking in the as much of the cultures, sights, sounds and architecture that is on offer. We will travel in a anti-clockwise direction starting and finishing from Santiago....we will keep you all posted on the craziness, well most of it anyway!

Hasta Luego!




We thought we had managed to pick a fine day for our departure. The sun was out for our send off breaky at Livi’s house (Dave’s better half) and a handful of our close family and friends where there to join us, wishing us well with champagne in hand. However our ideal send off soon cut short by a sudden turn in the sky and within a couple of minutes of loading our gear onto the bikes the down pour began. This wasn’t going to stop us, plus someone once told me that it was good luck to leave on a rainy day! With our helmets on and everyone else jammed into the old corrugated garage we were set. The two bikes sat in line with the front tires poised over a strip of masking tape laid on the road earlier. With the rain now pelting our helmets at 45 degrees and the wind threatening we took off, only having to return minutes later after realising that we had left some gear behind. Not the best start, but a start none the less!
