June 7, 2011 at 5:42 pm #198887Just got back into the office and this email came through to me
Greg from Pilliga called and said that for your bike ride on the 25th he will have fuel for you. He also said that you can go Pilliga straight to Boggabri, but you might need to get a recently updated map because he’s not sure where to go from the Newell Highway to Boggabri.
If you need anything else, he said you can just call him again.aint that nice?rool nice people out there in the bush

cheers bones .June 10, 2011 at 8:45 pm #203016I spent the afternoon going over the Tenere making sure all was good for this ride. I fitted a new power socket for chargers. Fitted my racks ( top job Jason they are solid now!!).
I fitted some road tyres for the run to wauchope and will be changing to a Dunlop 606 rear and Michelin Desert front before we leave for Tamworth.I used the tyre changer I bought from Suttos and it really is a good bit of gear and made the tyre change very easy.
Almost ready to go !!
