Attitude is defined in the dictionary as a ‘settled mode of thinking’. We all have an attitude, it varies individually. Our attitude defines how we work, interact with others and how we carry ourselves socially and professionally. Our attitude also has a great influence on how we ride. Being human, our attitudes to things are not static and can change depending on what is thrown at us at any given time, and this can have a profound effect on your riding regardless of whether riding to the shop for bread and milk or heading out for a month-long ride. Riding calm as opposed to riding agitated is a completely different experience.

Words and Image: Tug McClutchin Going On Tour I’d forgotten what it was like to organise a motorcycle tour. In a previous job some years ago, organising tours for groups of riders, and then leading them, was part of my gig. It can be great fun, but also hard work. And it can test your patience. It’s also not a holiday. Not when you’re the person running the show. I’ve also met some people on tours who became friends, so the benefits can be substantial. Just as well, because it isn’t much of a way to make money.

Kangaroo Valley offers a pleasant stop a long one of the best day rides NSW has to offerWords Pete Vorst Photography Motohead Lurking down in Southern NSW, approximately 160 km from the guts of Sydney, is one of the most scenic little towns in NSW. It’s a hotspot for tourists, grey nomads, and yuppies alike, but to motorcyclists, the small village of Kangaroo Valley, between the Southern Highlands and the coastal city of Nowra, is but a place to rest the arse, fill the gut, and steel the nerves for the remainder of the journey.

But I did, and I discovered some great stops along the way.
