Ummm who knows, was thinking about revisiting major areas every second year. Maybe next year an outback tour and Craig’s Hut and the other side of the Vic High country the year after. But nothing is in concrete

Hey TB , do we have a solid max klm distance for the special between refuels , I am tossing up my options for fuel needs , thinking of leaving the rear tanks off and using my lightweight Adv setup . Max k’s from that setup is about 300 though . Will that be enough ?

Back in Oz as of 11.30 this morning and keen to get out riding. Need to do some bike prep first though ang get a few otherthings out of the way.

Looking at the weather forecast a man might have toninvest in some grip warmers and good winter gloves. Ahhhhh, i love the smell of burning credit cards in the morning (only for buying bike gear that is :blush: )

About time this thread got bumped up

Scored a copy of “The hard way home” courtesy of Trailzone, Read it and realized it is full of bad ideas..

First one to camp with beer wins it

Good onya Jeffro
Nothing like a mad dash to prep and get rego done hey ?? :laugh:
Wish I was going with ya`s, but other things put that down…

If you need help to prep give me a yell , I have space and most gear here to work on the bike, change tyres etc already setup and I`m pretty much free except for the 28th (in Sydney on course)

Cheers

Thanks Eagle but I have the prep under control. Just need a ride partner for a shakedown run before the big ride. Just a half day or so to get back into the swing of things and get used to the bike. Maybe Sunday if your around.

[Dwayne OMember]

Should be able to sort that pretty easily mate
My rear tyre is shagged, but it`ll do for a day ride

Let me know your plans by sat arvo and we`ll hook something up mate for sure.
Laguna does a great feed now so that could be a good lunch stop ???

Talk soon

If the High Country prep goes bad, just sing out
