- Motorcycle Travel Australia: In this episode Steve makes at trip to Newman, WA to suss out his new job with the Shire of East Pilbara, Manager Strategy & Partnerships, while Nic is left to pack up the house - 1 lot to storage and the rest to go. Unfortunately Steve finds there is no garage and nowhere safe to store the bikes, so we sadly ride Tony & Cleo to their new TEMPORARY home just south of Toowoomba.
Stay tuned for an Epic Road Trip to Newman, WA, as we contemplate our first twelve months in the West without bikes. They will be shipped over for a season of riding once the hot Pilbara summer is over in 2024.

As well as keeping our small group of vicarious travellers entertained, we make these Vlogs in honour of our Future Selves, who will one day be unable to physically cash the cheques our minds might desire to write. We will hopefully thank our Past Selves for going to all the effort of filming and editing, so that our then Present Selves can relive these wonderful adventures. We hope that we might inspire others to get out of their own way, get moving, be silly, have fun, and be yourself no matter what.
Thanks for watching!
I got back last week from a 2 month roadtrip Melbourne to Pilbara and return, 13000 km.
Spent a few days in Newman. Seems like a nice place. We did the BHP Mt Whaleback mine tour which was great.
You'll see everything after 5 years there in the mining industry.
There are plenty of open roads for the bikes, and being in WA, they have the money to keep the roads in perfect condition.
Enjoy the adventure.
Thanks Peter. I’m actually learning to lead the Mine Tour at the moment!
No more cold nights. What a change.
It gets down to 2 degrees overnight in Newman this time of year 🥶 Hopefully the little house will keep the heat out as well as it is keeping the cold out 🤞
Well all the best with your trip to your new home for the next 5 years ❤
Thanks Graham ❤️ Hope we can keep ourselves fit & healthy for that long 👍
Totally understand your feelings. We have lived in Newman for 26 yrs. Prior to that hubby and I rode bikes around 3/4 of Oz. Had bikes in Newman for a few years but ended up sending them back down to Perth. Newman gets too hot in summer to ride with full gear on and wouldn’t ride without it. Hope to meet you guys when I get back in a little while
Hey Michelle, looking forward to catching up and picking your brains when you are in town 👍
I'm sure Steve took more footage during his recon to Newman, but you were just ruthless during edit. 😂
Haha! Yes, but most of it was so dodgy it didn’t make the cut….the ‘Less is More’ rule usually works best 🤩
That must have been a logistical nightmare to organise every detail let alone the financial side of it. I hope you have good tenants who will look after your home and garden as well as you have done. So different in Newman going on your insta photos. Must mention how well this video was edited. Clever.
Awe thanks Jeff! I got a bit teary watching this Ep on the big tele! Missing Tony but still feeling adventurous 😻
Good to see the Triumphs heading up to the red dirt…perfect bikes for up there just don’t drop em the grounds a lot harder up there ha ha
Yes it is! We hadn’t specifically thought of it from that perspective 🤣🤣
Great videos, first time watcher. I wish I could get my wife interested in riding a bike. A quick question, what tyres are on Steve's bike?
Pirelli Scorpions StR rally
Stone the crows $3200 to ship the bikes to Perth. It is going to cost me $2500(USD) to ship my bike from Los Angeles to Sydney. Hope they treat your bikes well.
Wow!! And that’s just to Perth….we then have to ride them 1200km to Newman 🙀
@@nowwatt It is a good trip up the highway. If you have the time and are feeling adventurous there are a lot of great alternative routes via the backroads.
