A teaser ...

Friday 16th May 2025

I don't want to spoil the surprise, so here is just a teaser of my custom rebuilt ride (my Ducati Sportclassic 1000S). Thank you goes to local custom bike workshop Purpose Built Moto, who have gone above and beyond with innovation and effort. The bike will be there on Sunday, which will actually be my first ride on it.

Some thing special has arrived

Thursday 15th May 2025

Purpose Built Moto (PBM) have completed the long-awaited customisation of my beloved Ducati, and I will be riding it on the day. It will also be on display at the Marketta before and after the ride. It is better than I could have imagined, and I'm very excited to share it with everyone! I won't spoil the surprise by posting a detailed or close-up photo ... this "tasteful shot from a distance will do. Just look out for a red and black Ducati Sportclassic 1000S with gold wheels and a very handsome chap astride it! 😇💓🏍️

I will be in RED TWEED and old school gold metal goggles with leather padding. I look forward to seeing everyone!

I am very humbled.

Tuesday 13th May 2025

THANK YOU everyone! Overnight, there were some more donations, sufficient for me to reach the goal of $US250 (whatever that is in Aussie dollars). I'm humbled and grateful. If anyone wants to come and enjoy the morning (perhaps it goes all day, I'm not sure, but it will certainly be bustling fun between 8 AM and noon), it should be fun. My bike will be on display, there will be lots of excellent coffee (I made sure to confirm this, as I cannot otherwise survive), and there will be market stalls and other things as mentioned throughout the website.

I want to post a photo of my bike, but I don't want to spoil the surprise, particularly as Tom and crew at Purpose Built Moto are working to have it ready for the weekend, and this may be its "official release event".

A special thank you, again, to those who gave a little more overnight 🙏🏻! J

It's THIS SUNDAY!!

Monday 12th May 2025

They say doctors are meant to be bright ... I think I'm proof of the opposite. I felt a jolt this morning as I spontaneously realised, as if God's own finger had reached down and donked me on me' noggin', that the actual event is THIS Sunday. The days, weeks and months of our lives are a blur. So, I've got just a few days to reach the very humble goal of raising $USD250. Converting back to Australian, I am just $AUD60 (Just $60!) short of that, so donations of just $10 ..... or $5 ... from a handful of friends and well-wishers, could make all the difference. It's like the "drop in the ocean"; without any drops, there'd be no ocean. So, friends, just a little bit more if you can.

My beloved Ducati will be on display at the Miami Marketta, during the event (except when I'm on the ride), after 18 months of modern restoration and customisation in the hands of the chaps at Purpose Built Moto. I will also be riding it. It is a thing to behold (my Ducati, not me ... I am no longer a thing to behold, I'm afraid 🤷🏻‍♂️).

It may rain on the weekend, the way things are looking, but unless the entire, huge event is called off (it won't be), I will be riding even if it means doing 80km/hr down Bermuda St in rain-sodden thick tweed and an open-faced helmet. I just love riding, and I'd ride all day, every day, if I could. Like I said, I think I'm proof that doctors aren't necessarily bright!

Yours spiffingly, Jeff

I'm Riding for Men's Health in The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride

Sunday 27th Apr 2025

On Sunday the 18th of May 2025, I'm riding in Gold Coast's Distinguished Gentleman's Ride with fellow men and women across the globe to raise funds and awareness for prostate cancer and men's mental health on behalf of Movember. Men die on average 6 years earlier than women and for largely preventable reasons.

I have spent my life working to relieve the burden of mental illness (I am a psychiatrist and physician), and I hope the photos show how my love of motorbikes has brought me friends and given me opportunities to participate in the community and in charities and events for different causes. Nothing brings people together like motorbikes!

The number of men that are suffering is growing, I see it every day. So, before I press my tweed, polish my boots, and clean my pipe, I'm asking you to join me in raising funds and awareness for these causes by donating what you can for this meaningful cause.

Oh, and whilst I do own a Triumph, I will be riding my beloved Ducati Sportclassic 1000S which will be displayed on the day (at Miami Marketta) with the good folk from Purpose Built Moto (they have helped me to give it new life) ❤️!
