Its good to be back

[Spokkie]

Well, it's been a number of years since i have had any contact with the LD community.
After completing about 16 (now unknown) FarRides and a couple of Iron Butt rides, my wife and I packed up our lives in W.A. and went caravanning around Australia for 2 years.
My poor bike was mothballed until we decided to relocate to the other side of the country,QLD. I was very eager to get back onto two wheels that's for sure.
Soon after arriving in Bundy i completed #GFR6 and ever since then I stopped LD riding. My wife's poor health and life kinda just got in the way.
So, I have been out of the loop for probably the past 5 years only to come back to not be able to find FarRiders. It took a bit of sleuthing but thanks to the IBA forum I discovered there have been some very big changes going on.
This morning I was giving some thought to a possible return to some LD riding, so I had another look to see if FarRiders might be back online. I happily found Far Road instead.
I have spent a number of hours already today trawling over the new site trying to familiarise myself with all the new goings on.
I've always been a very proud FarRider and given the opportunity to talk about and promote the club I would. I'm very glad that we have managed to hang on and evolve into an even better club that helps promote safe LD riding.
I look forward to spending more time catching up with what's going on and hopefully getting a few more k's under my belt. After I get a considerable amount of ride fitness back.
It's great to see some of the old familiar names here and hope to meet a few more.

Hey Spokkie, I've just moved to Mount Perry a few months back, (about 100 k's to your West). There's some loverly motorcycly roads around here, so If you're ever out this way, hit me up for a coffee.
