Philip Richards : Motorcycle Adventure Rider

I am a Motorcycle tragic & passionate adventurer. 

Born in Wellington NZ, now living in Melbourne Australia. Hence the Kiwi in AussieKiwiAdventureRider!

When travelling I figure less is more.

Here are my early days of Motorcycle Adventure!

The A frame tent came with poles that only separated into two parts, which I mounted horizontally on top of a hiking pack. The luggage racks used to break due to overloading & vibration. These photos are all in NZ North & South island, and scanned from actual physical Photos (old school)!

The featured machines:
. Suzuki GN250 first motorcycle purchased 1982. I hand painted & installed that magnificent fairing.
. Suzuki GT250 Two Stroke. Note that in the photo of the GT on it’s side, that is not me! It’s my mate, practising adventure stunt riding.
. Suzuki GSX400E. Purely purchased for economical reasons during university & one of my most travelled adventure bikes, good for crossing rivers too although no photos exist of that event.
. Suzuki GSX1100EF. She was a very badly behaved tank slapper, but the motor was to die for!

Yes they were all Suzuki, who knows what was going on there.
