Event: Tweed Ride - Newcastle

See me at the Tweed Ride. All come along and have a great day.

Oh my jolly what a wonderful day it has been. I am glad I was able to put a smile on countless faces. Whether it was entertaining the crown with a speedy lap of Nobbies Reserve or a free Penny ride for the kids. I was surprised to take out the best Combination bike & dress .. I only came as myself for a grand ride. There were so many genuine restored bikes and "tweed wear", it is a real credit to the owners to uphold such a historic past with tremendous pride in the bike technology of the 1900's. I can not wait to do the Tweed again.

In The Making !

I am having my personal transport made by a master craftsman. I'll tell you about him if you ask. My Penny is handcrafted from scratch and a bit of custom design creates the charms a Victorian era.
You can see it up close while I ride around Morpeth, NSW. I hope to catch you there as it feels right at home and part of the town's historic nature.
