Got a Blog or Vlog?....
« on: November 14, 2012, 10:39:29 AM »
Okay - we ALL know that ONLY YOU care about your blog - but if you have a blog going (to do with motorcycles) - post it here - and the 'insanely bored' of us with all the time in the world on our hands may just pop in for a gander.

We ALL realise that we are new at this writing thingy, and that the content has to be written to appeal to people of many interests, so we agree to give plenty of quarter to each other's rantings. We are also not looking for critiquing - just read them if you want.                  Wot thuh

The chronological order of blogs can be hard to ascertain - so to start from the beginning - click 2012 date at the RHS. At the bottom of each article, you can click 'newer post' for the next one

Anyways - I've begun mine, and it looks like this.......

Got one? Post it below.

Cheers, Diesel

I did read a little of it.......liked the bit where he forgot to fill the spare fuel container and all most needed it. I'd sooner have my spare fuel and not need it rather than run out and need it.

The town Dalton get mentioned quite a lot in the TV show "Ice Road Truckers" which is normally filmed in Winter.

I went to his vid channel and watched a few clips - very impressive!

The sense of adventure and spontanaeity is first class!   

Kudos to the presenter.      :-++

Would have to admit a slight case of envy too, about now!       :'(

Thanks for posting Keith.

I've made a few 4000km trips myself but never thought to write anything about it other than fuel costs etc. And I have forgotten an item or two and remembered it a few Kms down the road and have gone back to get it.

Here's the blog that I created when in 2009 I rode  Adelaide, Victoria, NSW,  Cairns, Darwin and back home to Adelaide.  It was on this trip that I bought my ST1300, when my Yamaha XJR1300 broke it's frame. :eek

I just done one of these blogs in the last couple of days about the trips I do on my bike.

So far I have two trips up and they've been posted as Ride Reports on here but one has to start some where.......lol

Went back in and got rid of the background picture and changed the colours. Managed to get three pictures enlarged in one post and one in the border run post.......guess that's better as yesterday it would only allow me to enlarge two.

Glad you gave that background the flick.  It was pretty hard to see against, and didn't add much to the concept of m/c travel.  More like "Historical Home Decorating".   :thumb

Greetings all,
Ros and I are heading off on our full circumnavigation of Oz early April (not long after returning from Middleton). We have set up this Blog to keep our friends and relos up to date on our travels. http://www.bushellsbikebashes.com/ Not much in it as yet but, hopefully, we plan to post every couple of days or so when we get going.

This blog thing is all new to me.......i just had to pick a default template to start with and I did play around with it and lost some functions and had to start again. For now I'll leave it as is but still puzzles me as to why I can't enlarge all the pictures. If you select a picture you get a slide show which is a bonus I guess.

I found a work around for the picture issue (technical issue)..........I went into HTML and changed the picture size manually.......one post done so far.

Good stuff Alan - much better.    :thumbs

@Keith - geez mate - can't say I've seen any better pics than your neighbour's daughter's and hubby's! I've just being going through their Scotland ride pics to John O Groats! WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Pls pass on my gratitude for a most enjoyable viewing experience.     :rockon

Your pics of your Cornish Trip were a blast too - hard to beat British landscape from all four countries.     :-++


Easy to beat the weather tho!      :nahnah

Great thread - cheers to Pete, Alan, Keith for sharing a 'bloody good read'     :thumb

Cheers, Diesel
