Champ on the maintenance plan you have and having found two sets of rooted steering heads on bikes in your shed I would say you have that under control :laugh: :laugh:

If your nice someone with a damper on a 650 might let you fit his from his bike as he isnt riding it on this trip. No holes need be drilled its all bolt on and takes about 30 mins :huh: :blink:

Talked to Mal at Sooooottos.. His opinion for the XR/DRZ 400’s and possibly the XR600s is:

The Bridgestone ED78 Rear and ED11 front..

Also Talked highly of the Pirelli Rally tires and Dunlop Rally Raids.. Quick check on the Oracle and the Bridgestones seem to be the go….

Cheers Guys, Mal can you price me a Pirelli 160 / 17, same with a Michelin Desert and the Dunlop raid.

Fronts I am open to suggestion thinking a Dunlop 608r maybe

Thanks for getting my heavy duty tubes organised earlier this week Mal and thanks for getting on-line Scotty

Boulder gave me a call yesterday from Tibooburra, he and Clare had been rained in for 3 or 4 days. When it rains out there to protect the roads they close them. According to Boulder the fine is 1000 bucks a wheel!!! :ohmy: A tourist did the bolt at 4 am yesterday morning and the cops caught him and he had his car towed back to Tibooburra and wheel clamped out the back of the police station. Fine $6000, car and trailer :ohmy: :ohmy:

He was hoping to be on his way tomorrow to the corner, what a guy pre running :laugh:

Boulder is pre-Running eh? Too cool..

Now that we will have a support vehicle are we going to shorten the fuel legs some? Are we still going to need 300+ K tanks?

RE tyres
Don’t know if it is of any interest to you guys. But when i have done my trips in the past I have used Dunlop 606’s.(We also used them in the Condo 750) Value for money they are great get an easy 5000km out of a rear on a transalp with approx 50/50 dirt and tar. Only one puncture and no tyre could have prevented that from happening.
Re Tubes The only let down with alot of the ADV style bikes is they run a 17″ rear and 17″ HD tubes are sometimes hard to source. 18″ HD tubes work fine on a 17″ rim.
