G'day from outback Western Australia

don't stand much chance if I hit you in my triple

No doubt, at least it'll be over quick... The rocks coming off the back of Gina's quads on the way North won't tickle, either!
 
this is why we don't ride at night in W.A. Us locals know this , I've put this up for all the non-aussies out there to help understand our night time dilemmas.in the first pic, theres 3 down...theres one on the rt side as well .Big lock up.....BOOM ! every day/nite theres a chance of tis occurring to me. !st pic is of the morning after a big nite

Why we all drive 4WD up here, too. At least in a fourby, you hit their body. In a sedan, you take out their legs and they land in your lap.

Had an ambulance call out for a cattle strike just south of the Cappy one night. As we were on the way there, we could see flames leaping into the sky. We thought the car must have gone up, and were preparing ourselves for the worst. When we got there, we found out that 7 of the 8 people (in a commodore sedan, all adults) were mostly ok, but that they had gotten cold while they were waiting, and lit a bonfire on the side of the road :D

Bugger that, mate! You'd go through more drinking water than petrol pushing a bike in Coober Pedy!!

My own fault .. had come down the Stuart from Darwin when we still had open speed limits ..180-200ks all the way to the SA border. Had intended to slow down once in South Australia ... but you know :D

Over the years I have hit most things in the Trucks ,had Roos squirming around amongst the Bull bar ,smashed Emus on the bonnet , the drag link bent on the steering by a wombat, one side Fuel tank almost taken off by a bull ,the stench from the road kill as you pass stays in the cab for quite a while ,the top end of Queensland is just as bad for Feral road kill but if you swerve to miss them it can be goodnight Irene RSover
 
Assuming tis total black out there in the OB except for your headlights, there is NO WAY you are going to see an object in the roadway, react, brake and avoid it unless you are traveling about 48 Km/h.
