Back On The Bike

[Rocket HP]

Had my 1st decent ride since I road my bike off before last Christmas and glad to be back in the saddle.
Did a Farride to the border and back between WA and SA ,just over 2100km Round trip.
Weather couldn't be better and did just over 1000km home Sunday.
Kept compering my old bike to this one as I had her 13 years but finally made pice with the new one after changing a few thing and putting cams in.
Had to change the foot pegs from the Roadster to the classic.
tried the FC17 but just to far to reach.
You can not get the smile off my face and that was 5 days ago .

Yep and that strait is existing as watching paint dry.
Last time i did a drive shaft on my way home from Moree GLD.
Had 7200km in 5 days and 700 from home and had to cam up for the night.
Had a good mate come and get me.

Check this old girl that did the Border Run Farride.
Its done over 400,000 km with out a spanner on the motor.
He has also done the power line that is a dirt track across the Nulabore
thats what the boat winch on the front is for if they get stuck.
The fridge on the back for a cold beer is the winning ticket.

I'd have to carry some spare fuel...

I'd have to carry some spare fuel...

If u zoom up on the pic of my bike I carry a fuel cel on the back pack .
12 lt and flick a switch and pumps through a non reverse valve under the tank .
I’m going to make another with 18-20 lt wich will give me 600 km between refueling
