Dirtbike to Roadbike. WR250 to FZ1N… 250cc to 1000cc
Friday, September 3rd, 2010There comes a time when everyone needs a change. Time to slip onto something that bumps up my pulse rate a little. Sorta like jumping from the back of a hyena onto the mane of a lion. Love Yamaha!

Jumping on a Yamaha XT660R tomorrow… maybe turn it into a Lost On… machine?
Thursday, August 5th, 2010Swapping the Yamaha Tenere for a Yamaha XT660R tomorrow… will be nice to drop a bit of weight and slide a little lower around the corners…. Dreaming about stripping it down and building it back up to a Lost On… Thoughts anyone?
Features
- Punchy 660cc liquid-cooled, 4-stroke, single cylinder engine with SOHC four valve cylinder head to improve intake efficiency.
- Rocker arms with roller bearings fitted for the first time on a Yamaha motorcycle in order to reduce engine’s friction related power losses (50% less than without bearings).
- Lightweight aluminium forged piston, with an anodised surface treatment applied on the piston head to reduce oil consumption and to increase heat resistance.

‘THE ONLY WAY I AM COMING HOME IS BY BIKE OR BY BOX.’
Join Steve Crombie as he rides 90,000 kilometres from Australia to the Arctic Circle via South America. It takes him two years. He suffers from dehydration, starvation and disease. He rebuilds his motorcycle four times. Along the way Steve not only tests his limits but meets the world head on – waking up behind iron bars in Tierra Del Fuego; traversing the length of the Amazon with a 260-kilogram motorcycle in tow; evading pumas in Guyana; skimming across the Caribbean on a yacht with wanted criminals; dodging bullets in Nicaragua and finally paddlinga few laps in the Arctic Ocean. Lost on Earth is an adrenaline rush, taking the reader to the wilds of the Americas, with a man who made the dream of following a road less travelled into a reality. Hitch a ride.
The book will be released in Australia at beginning of September in time for Fathers Day…

Picture taken near Wattamolla on the sandstone cliffs of Royal National Park at sunrise. One of my favourite caves in the world is hidden here where I go and camp when my brain gets sore.
Royal National Park is one of the oldest recognised parks in the world and only 45 minutes from Sydney city – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_National_Park
