Christmas 2015 into early Jan 2016

Miss Ally's first multi day motorcycle tour....

2,500km in 9 days up and down and across the Snowy Mountains....

Our ride: Chester the Stubborn. An untested 20 year old cheapy cheap tourer bought for shits n giggles a week or so before departure. A purchase price of $2,500 meant there was more than a little of a Top Gear challenge feel to it....

I mean really, what could possible go wrong.......?
