As for the name, I’m sure one will become apparent on the trip. Puffin Billy might be an option :laugh:

My mate called my bike “Sally” as it used to lay down so much. 😆

What tyres would you guys recommend???

Kram

Dunlop 606 rear, Michelin Baja rear, Dunlop 952 front (not legal but an awesome tyre) Dunlop 606 front, Dunlop Rally Raid 908 front ( expensive but the pick IMO due to better case etc) Michelin Desert Front, Michelin AC10 front

TB

How many Klms are going to be doing? I was thinking it would be around 4500. I’m a little worried the 606 would go the distance and wasn’t planning on taking another.

A Mitas E09 from Steve with the right pressure will do the job standing on its head I actually have one in my shed I will sell you, its brand new if you want it :blink: I am only not using it because I have a few Dunlops lying around. If I didnt have an excess of Dunlops I would use the E09 no worries

When in Nornmanton make sure you have a beer in the Purple Pub,
See if they have caught up and let the black fellas into the front bar or they still have a bar on the outside
It will be an eye opener!!!!!! :ohmy: :ohmy: :ohmy:
Good luck I would have enjoyed this one, to see how much Weipas’ changed would be good.

[GregMember]

Yeah the Purple Pub is already on the must do list. I will make sure I get plenty of photos of Wepia for you
