Road Trippin – Day 1 – Brisbane to Ballina via Byron Bay

Finally the day has arrived!! Yes, my first ever motorcycle road trip on my Indian Chief Vintage across Australia 🙂 and what a beautiful day it was, the weather could not have been better.

I was pretty excited the night before and hardly slept. I kept waking up to check the time. I made sure I had most of my stuff packed the day before. Stuff like jeans, gloves, jackets, toiletries, sunscreen, money etc.

I left home at 6:30am with the ride starting in Brisbane and ending in Ballina through plenty of beautiful hinterland and highway via Byron Bay. Good reggae music like ‘Maybe Tomorrow’ by UB40 to keep me company on my long ride.

Once I got to Byron Bay, the views from the lighthouse were amazeballs on a hot and sticky day.

After taking in the breathtaking scenery I continued on my merry way, the Indian Chief happy as ever to keep rumbling along, to my last stop for the day – Ballina.

Tomorrow, I head to Bellingen and Dorrigo via Lismore with  more beautiful scenery and weather. See you then 🙂
