Episode 6 · I stopped eating for thirty days while riding across Australia.
Sydney to Geelong, ferry across the Bass Strait, into Tasmania — on water, black coffee, and electrolytes. Days one to nine of a thirty-day fast.
Episode 5 · My learning curve.
Two hours northwest of Sydney into Mountain Lagoon. Trail braking, standing on the pegs, and a campfire reflection on Brave New World.
Episode 4 · Why I chose the savage life.
Christmas alone in the rainforest at Yarramalong. ABS off, elephant turns badly, and the soma of comfort versus the meaning of suffering.
Episode 3 · I got lost in the Watagans.
Old country an hour and a half north of Sydney — Darkinjung land, logging tracks, bushranger hideouts. A safe place to get lost.
What I learned from an adventure motorcycle course.
A non-sponsored review of the Stay Upright NSW adventure-bike day — body position, ABS, picking up a dropped bike. 4 of 5.
I spent ten thousand on Hunter for round-the-world.
Every modification on the 2025 Himalayan 450 — SW Motech panniers, Mitas Dakar tyres, Garmin Zumo XT2, the speed wobble at 100, the rally brake hose I sourced from the UK.
Three thousand kilometres on a Himalayan 450 — owner review.
Three months in. What works, what slips in the mud, and the gear-five-to-six transition that won't stop annoying me.
How to find gold — a panning lesson at Sofala.
Three and a half hours from Sydney, freezing river, the gold rush quietly suppressed by the government, and a first pan that did not come up empty.
Episode 2 · Hill End moto-camping on the Himalayan 450.
A goldtown that once had twenty-eight pubs. Panning the Turon, camping on the Bridle Track, ferro rod, and a quiet argument with comfort.
Spring equinox, explained on a Himalayan.
A short piece on equinox as actual new year — Persian, Mesopotamian, Egyptian. A reset, a fast, a fire, a redesign.
Episode 1 · I found gold in Sofala.
Razorback Ridge, a sketchy river crossing, Crown land beside the Turon. Gold in the first pan, twenty-eight grams reported on a single pan in the rush, and the long history of finding things by going slowly.
Should I hug him?
The first one. A near-drop in a car park trying to decide whether to hug another rider. Welcome to Motorcycle Seat Wisdom.
