New Trailer!! (Mareeba QLD - 05/11/2009)

We do not need to use the ladders to climb the tall trees, it rises us up
by itself.
Thus, it is not very safe....

Getting Fresh (Mareeba - 17/10/2009)

The temperature are getting higher and higher, the summer is coming!!

Cigarette plug on the KTM 690 SM (Mareeba - 17/10/2009)

The bike provides already two electic connexions for accessories (protected by fuses) behind the front light: one gives power from the battery all the time (it is labeled ACC1), the other, only when the ignition key is on (ACC2).

The cigarette plug will be situated under the seat. I have to get the bike naked to pass the wires all the way through.

Here it is in the front

Just need to connect the male into the female ;)

The same in the back under the seat

That's all folks....

Just need to dress the bike again and, now, we can reload our phones and ipods batteries while riding.

Hot air balloon sunrise (Mareeba - 08/09/2009)

''Mareeba is the hot air ballooning capital of the world'', that is what the visitors' guide says. The region's climate is just ideal for air action. Every morning when we start work we see hot
air balloons getting up with the sunrise over the shed.
