IN THE WIND P32 AN AUSSIE ADVENTURE A dam Reimann is Australia's premier solo motorcycle filmmaker and has recently taken on a KTM 1190 Adventure R as a long-term ma- chine, doing various stages of development and tours on the Austrian company's premier big-bore dirt beast. Reimann has been documenting his adventures on the big 1190 in 2016 in a series of films that are well worth watching, and he re- cently revealed the latest chapter of his KTM 1190 Adventure R saga. This film (part 4) focuses on adventure rid- ing in the south west of Western Australia—a lush, green paradise of bike-riding peppered with some of the country's finest vineyards. The incredible scenery along with some fast roads and fast-moving rivers make Reimann's journey quite an interesting one. Watch for a review of his second feature film, Motonomad II, Riders of the Steppe, in a coming issue of Cycle News. CN THE WORLD'S FASTEST FEMALE M otoAmerica star Patricia Fernandez made history over the weekend by becoming the fastest female racer in the world at the Ulster Grand Prix in Dundrod, Northern Ireland. Riding the Magic Bullet Yamaha YZF-R6, Fernandez rode to a fastest lap of 118.264 mph to take the title as fastest female at the fastest international racetrack currently in use. "I had the previous record for the fastest 600cc but there was a female on a 1000cc that was 1 mph quicker than I, but not any- more!" Fernandez said via her Facebook page. "I cannot believe I finally did it! Road racing is unlike any other sensation I have ever experienced. Bruce Anstey himself placed the medal over my head, I was cry- ing! It's a dream come true." CN An understandably stoked Fernandez with the World's Fastest Female medal on the podium at the Ulster Grand Prix.
