    met some more hard core dudes at Wyndam yesterday
    I commented that they were giving there knobbies hell and they said they had just done the Gibb River Road

    Well just had a call from TB, they were at the Palmer River look out, no doubt doing the tourist thing( taking heaps of photos ) heading to the Hann River roadhouse for beer and a feed, they should kill this stage easy as, and then on to Musgrave Station for more beer ( I wonder if they will try and do wheelies up and down the airstrip :woohoo:

    I generally think ADV riding is for homo’s but I would gladly go on this trip, the pics look awesome, keep it up guys and ride safe.

    Just looked and they are on the Peninsula Devlopment Road, Musgrave airfield and TB’s last 2 spot tracker logs shows them on the runway!! šŸ˜†

    Just had a call from TB at Musgrave Station, they are on the cans and have settled in for the night. He assured me that there will be no wheelies up the airstrip or jumps off the loading ramp, as apparently that is how they got kicked out of there last time. :laugh:

    Tomorrow they are heading to Weipa to watch the State of Origin. They will probably get run out of town there too. :laugh:

    It is also killing us as we need info on someone who is living the dream Bastards :unsure:
    Or he is do one hell of a ride report to bring us up to date :woohoo:

    Come on Weipa and internet access

    Go Queensland šŸ˜† šŸ˜†
    Hope fully they will have a beer at the stubby hut (seen some pretty wild stuff there when the trawlers are in!! :woohoo: :woohoo: ) let alone state of origin.

    On to the dirt and the start of the 4w4 drives and road trains, the dust was amazing (real dust Krusty) we stopped at the Hann River roadhouse for a stubby that of course turned into two or three. We met Mike a gentleman from England. Mike is riding all over Aus on his BMW 1200 and is one of natures gentleman.Ā

    Mike set of for Musgrave before we left has it happened we came across him helping a mother and two kids one there own with a flat. Nice bloke he is was changing the tyre, we offered help but he had it under control so we continued onto Musgrave station were we sat under the house at the staton and proceeded to drink everything that they had. The boys were even seen drinking hot extra dry because they the piss wrecks lead by Kram (Snake murderer) had drank all the cold ones
