My big ride

[Binnsy]

For anyone interested, here are the photos from my 6000km ride

Spent 20 days on the road, only one day with no riding.

Stayed in Pubs, Campsites and Motels, most we paid per person was $30:00 as we shared a room with three beds.

Only place that I wouldn't go back to is Wilcannia, sad place... Bordertown I would avoid...

Great Ocean Road was awesome, loved it. Great views, unfortunately it was freakin cold and windy but still enjoyed.

Had a couple of bike issues, mine was an ignition failure that plagued me for most of the trip. Caused me to drop the bike when I was doing a tight turn in a gravel car park and it snuffed. I lost control, went A over T and the bike had me pinned to the ground by the ankle. Busted radiator, indicator and a scratched tank

Picasa has a map showing where the photos were taken and the route we took. I have more to add but you will get the idea.

Enjoy....

Agh good old wilcannia I'm surprised the local natives didn't steal it while it was parked outside . All the truckies park a couple of k out of town down there lol

My first accessory that I ordered was crash bars to protect radiator also leaves room for you to get your leg out, Been there done that I hate small gravel in parking lots especially small gravel on blacktop parking lots. "" "" By the way I forgot to say great pictures enjoy seeing other parts of the world.

Was wondering how you were going, mate. Good to have you back. Sounds like an experience.

Looks like you had a lot of fun, maybe one day I will do the same.

No, fortunately no-one took us seriously , rode through the Rebels a couple of times, thought maybe not a good idea

Police bailed us up a couple of times but ended up having a laugh with us!

Lots of people wanted their photos with us and even got asked if we were in the movie? Of course I told them we were, unfortunately I got Dudley

Awsome pics mate. Funny thing - I just watch the movie (again) a couple of days ago!

Hard to pull-up when you've been on the road for a big trip...well i always seem find it hard. If only a bloke could work out how to fund that lifestyle ... man you'd have it made... P.S got any photos of the Bullslapping

Great pix ...mates... Some of your beautiful country reminds me of Hawai'i with the mists, Eucalyptus, fine beaches and abundant flowers. Very attractive. Wish I could one day visit. Have kin in Sydney we see far too seldom (when they visit us here in the states). Nice bikes, great times, great memories!
