Tino La Bamba: a Spaniard's journey to Lismore (2009)
Visit the blog at www.tinolabamba.com

In the spirit of Easy Rider meets Don Quixote, the Great Tino La Bamba travelled the perilous journey from Sydney to Lismore on his self-crafted mo-ped "Platanito". Cruising out of the Marrickville wastelands La Bamba's adventure posed the following questions;
Can such a creature truly withstand the heat of the Australian summer in a woolly collared, full bodied spandex suit? Will his make-shift moped be able to cross the steep inclines of the Great Dividing Range? Will the residents of rural NSW accept a creature that has crawled out of the dark crevices of Sydney's underground cabaret scene? Will the highway patrol let him get past Hornsby?
