Headed down to Alexandra for this years VMCC rally, the first day had some great weather but Sunday went sideways so we headed home but I got some photos I was happy with on the Saturday…
Perfect weather and a good crew of riders made this years Maryborough rally great. Although some of the roads were a bit rough at times it’s still great to be out on the backroads of country Victoria.
It’s been 4 years since we’ve put on the Flem Banks Jam, usually I shoot photos of the day but I was really keen to film this year an besides wishing I had a 2nd filmer all day I am stoked on how it came out…
I love the roads up around Mirboo North so much, usually we ride them in the winter for Brass Monkey so ever since the creation of Summer Monkey last year we’ve been able to really enjoy the dry windy roads.
Here’s some of my favourite shots from the trip but I have a tonne more so if you were there and want some photos of your bike you can download all the high res images here.
Did a little ride through the hills with a mate prior to getting there which was a great way to start the evening. This was the 2nd Upwey meet I’ve been to and although there was more late model bikes than I expected it was still good to get up there and check out the old bikes that were there…
Another great rally based out of Chiltern Victoria, we had some nice weather an enjoyable roads.
Making the Colony Hard Yards videos are very enjoyable to film and edit but damn they take a long time to do so. I know I made a point of not using that many clips that we’d seen in previous Hard Yards so I thought this video might have been a bit shorter in length but the riding level was just insane so it might even be longer than previous ones!
