Out for a 'Thursday Ride' with Ulysses members.
#ridetheworldmotorcycletours #motorcyclelife #Ulysses #ThursdayRide
It's Saturday and that is when we look back at trips, not tours.
This one was heading southbound on the Sea Cliff Bridge north of Wollongong. This time, it's a video.
The audio has been edited to cut out the travel companion's chatter.

The last day of staying off program.
Today, we look back at last Tuesday, our fifth and final day on tour.
It's time to head home from Orange.
Yet another enjoyable breakfast, this time at Factory Expresso. We returned to the hotel and packed the vehicles and departed taking the backroad through Rock Forest.
After Bathurst, we went to O'Connell and then stopped at Tarana, where we met a group of riders for a bike chat.
Onto Lithgow and the Bells Line of Road to Bilpin for our last meal together.
The last leg to Richmond and Windsor and then home.
We hope you enjoyed us sharing this ride with you, and we look forward to you riding with us in the future.

Another week of staying off program.
Today, we look back at last Monday, our fifth day on tour.
It's time to start heading home via Orange.
We headed back there as we enjoyed yesterday's great breakfast at Gusto Cafe on Peel Street Tamworth.
The day mainly was riding, and the 100 kph riding was taking its toll on the Himalayan's fuel consumption
.A stop just north of Coolah to check out the black stump and stretch the legs. Being old blokes, there was, of course, another reason.
The next stop was Dunedoo for pies and drinks. A bit of silo art, bird statues and Neptune the planet. We returned to the road after filling up with the Himalayan on reserve.
We took a backroad to Wellington and discovered wind farms and acres of solar panels. The next town was Stuart Town, originally called Ironbark and made famous by the Australian Poet Banjo Patterson.
Arriving next into Orange with the Himalayan well into reserve.
That night a wonder meal and a good night's sleep.

Another week of staying off program.
Today, we look back at last Sunday, our fourth day on tour. Perfect riding weather. So after a great breakfast at Gusto Cafe in Peel Street Tamworth, two of us head first to the Powerhouse Motorcycle Museum to see less than a hundred of one man's motorcycle collection, which they change every so often with those in storage. Then off to Werris Creek to the Railway Memorial and Museum. It was closed, being Sunday, but we fluked it with some of the museum committee being on site and we were able to have a fantastic guided tour. We then rode to Bob's Shed in Quirindi and were met by the son, Garry. I am intrigued by how someone can have a wife who lets him keep all his treasure in one shed.
We returned to Tamworth for photos at the Golden Guitar and Oxley Lookout.
We went out for dinner at the Bollywood Tadka. An excellent choice. #destinationnsw #ridetheworld #ridetheworldmotorcycletours #motorcyclelife #motorcyclelifestyle #tamworthnsw #werriscreek #quirindi #goldenguitar
Another week of staying off program.
Today, we look back at last Saturday, our third day on tour. The weather had improved, with no rain, but the cold had moved in. Who'd have thought it was Spring? A breakfast at Maccas as we had to be on the road and at Ural Australia by a set time. Breakfast done, we headed for Uralla and arrived early even with the Himalayan only travelling at 100 kph on the flat and downhill.
A good look at the two-wheel drive Ural outfit and an excellent chat.
We then headed a little north to Michael's Cafe for morning tea.
On our return to Tamworth, we went via Dobson's Distillery in Kentucky for a bit of tasting, only a little tasting as we were riding. After purchasing a bottle each, we headed for the reason for our trip to Tamworth: the Bar-B-Que Festival and Thunder Roll. What a disappointment, $45.00 entry and little to show for it. We had a late lunch of a Lamb roll and then returned to the motel.

Another week of staying off program.
Today, we look back at last Friday, our second day of our six-day NSW intrastate ride.
After trying to dry off ourselves and gear, we went to the local pub for dinner.
Today's ride took us up the Oxley Highway and through some roadworks as they are upgrading the road. We didn't stop at Asply Falls as we wanted to get to Tamworth. We did stop at the Royal Cafe at Walcha. The food, as always, was great, and the fire in the
fireplace warmed us up for the next stage of the ride. West to the New England HIghay and at Bendemeer, then South to Tamworth.
We check in to our motel and then off to the motorcycle shop to buy replacement wet weather gloves.
Back to our room for delivered pizzas.

Another week of staying off program.
Today, we look back at last Thursday, the first day of our six-day NSW intrastate ride.
The plan was to ride the Harley Davidson Softail Deluxe, but the valve stem popped out of the front tyre's tube, leaving the Harley with a flat front tyre. One always needs at least one spare motorcycle, so the Royal Enfield Himalayan was called into duty.
On the first day, we travelled from Sydney to Wauchope, and the rain stayed with us all day. The wet weather gear couldn't handle the water that fell on us, and we ended up soaked.
Here is the trip for your enjoyment.

It's Saturday and that is when we look back at trips, not tours.
This one was during the week. I have added the Relive of the Ride of it for a bit of fun.
