Loving riding thru Colorado. Saw these cheeky chipmunks today. #roadtripUSA

We've taken a detour to Moab via the national parks. Stunning! #roadtripUSA

Looking east. #roadtripUSA

And now let's look west. #roadtripUSA

We were in snow this morning. Now this. Highway 50, Nevada. RoadtripUSA

Bodies are refuelled. Now for the bikes. #roadtripUSA

Here are the bikes! #roadtripUSA

In the van, heading to the motorcycle hire shop. #roadtripUSA

So Ro-Bloody-Mantic! Full moon over Golden Gate Bridge. Shame I'm here with 3 guys! #roadtripUSA

And another. I may well race at the back of the pack, but at least I'll do it in style!

And here she is. Ducati Monster 696. Racing next weekend! (1st time in 12 months.)

A teaser… Monster 696 No. "96" ready to Race!

In a tow truck on the freeway north of Gosford. Fun, fun, fun!

And look what else arrived! A box of shaving goodness. Thanks @mensbiz & thanks @pighunt for steering me their way.

Surgery success &this was waiting for me at home, from my team at work. Love those guys. Also, see the plate?

Stockton Beach Ride. It's awesome having this at our back door!

Here's my Mac's desktop. Have loved this pic all year. Will there be another for 2012??? #MotoGP

Hospital phoned. Remember these screws & plates? I have surgery in the morning to remove them. Wish me luck!

... And here's another one from my mate. Sheesh! #yesIamajealousguybuthesbeingaprick

My mate keeps emailing me photos of himself from his adventure ride. Grrr! Oh well, best join him next time. :-|
