    Tassie on Two Wheels

    I just spent a week touring around Tassie on a "Gentleman's Trip" with a group of blokes on adventure bikes as they are commonly called today. Six bikes in all, a KTM 790, Honda Africa Twin 1000, Yamaha Tenere 1200, and three KTM 1090's, along with a Dodge Ram 1500 as the back-up vehicle which i drove. Where possible we traveled bush tracks and kept the black top touring to a minimum, but stayed in Pubs and Motels etc.

    I could not believe the amount motorcycles on the boat going over/back, and the amount of bikes touring the Isle, Tassie is an absolute "Mecca" for motorcyclists at this time of year, and motorcycle tourism must inject a lot of dollars into their economy.

    If your into motorcycling and as yet haven't toured Tassie, put it on your bucket list, it's well worth it.

    Cheers, Mick.

    Think I saw that magnificent Africa Twin last week in the south.
    I agree, every time I drive the East coast I think I should be on 2 wheels, not 4, as much as i love the Rangie.

    Number! Not amount.

    Amount is used for things that can't be counted.

    That's a lot of bikes on the ferry

    6 bikes would be a perfect number on a trip like that.

    Hope to do Tassie soon, have already been there just not on a bike, can't wait.
    Cheers Baz.

    You wouldn't believe it but there was another group with a similar livery to ours, a Honda Africa Twill 1000, a Tenere 1200,
    several KTM 1090's, plus they had a few extras with a Triumph and a handful of BMW's.

    Cheers, Mick.

    Quite possibly them then, there was a Triumph Tiger, and I think a R80 or R100GS flash by....❤
