• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Not a Spyder Ryde, and not my ride either, but check out some of Australia's Great Ocean Road on a 1972 Honda CB750!

Another one of those 'not my ride' vids, but like the Gorge Road, I also do this one fairly often and I've done it on a Honda CB750 (with a few mods - of course! ;)) back in the days when there was no speed limit on it, except thru the towns! (Dammit, that makes me feel Old! 😖) Anyhoo, there's some more good vids on youtube from this same Lady, Doodle on a Motorcycle, but this is one of just a couple she's done in Oz. Check it out: (y)


This road is not in quite as much of a dire condition as she makes out, or at risk of disappearing quite as soon as it sounds, but the recent floods she mentions (following within days of massively destructive bushfires inland just a tad) did do a lot of damage. I you want to see some more info on the Great Ocean Road, how it was built by Returned Soldiers after WW1 and is now widely recognised as the World's Largest War Memorial, then check out wikipedia here:

 
Nice video. Another great series is Itchy Boots. She has been traveling the world solo for about 8 years. Truely solo, no back up truck, no camera people just her. Been watching her since the start, she in Mongolia right now.
