Ride for Life! RIde for Youth! 42 days, 13,000+ kms round Oz

This blog is devoted to raising awareness of Youth Suicide so that it can be prevented.

The blog will track Joe's progress on his 42 day treck round Australia on a motorbike as he gathers support for this cause.

Australia has the highest incidence of Youth Suicide in the world. The major cause of suicide is a lack of connectedness to family, friends and community.

We want to get people excited about connecting with our young people so they don't feel isolated, depressed and hopeless. We want people to care enough about this problem to do somehthng about preventing it, not just picking up the peices afterwards.

Check out the website for details about the trip and for information about Youth Suicide: http://www.ozzieroadtrip.com/

If you're concerned about someone seek professional advice (see links at right).

We want you to get involved so check the blog daily for updates and send your own posts to the blog. Tell other people about this issue, get people excited about saving our Youth from depression and thinking that suicide is an option.

Day 14 27th June Perth - Day of Rest!

Day 14 27th June Perth (a rest day)

Before leaving Sydney I booked the MC in for a service at Auto Classics the BMW dealers in Perth.

When I arrived I asked for them to give the bike the once over for me and went off to check out some of the sites of Perth City. I might add it was bucketing down with rain. This is a great city with a lot of development going on here.

On my return to pick up the bike, I was informed that the guys at BMW had checked it out, topped it up with oil, tested it, for which there was no charge. Thanks to the guys at Auto Classics BMW dealers in Perth.
