Trailboss wrote:Well Pete the Wulf, Crash and myself are heading west at the start of May. We have given ourselves three days to get to Birdsville, will attend the spreading of Tug boat Bill’s ashes and raise a glass. From there we will head to the corner to catch up with a couple of Old Bulls and raise a glass. Then into SA, maybe even Vic and a Hattah crossing before blasting home.
Looking forward to visiting Hungerford, Thargomindah, and Noccundra to mention a few places I have yet to visit. Pete and Crash haven’t been west on the big bikes yet. Crash has the bling new blue Tenere, Pete is itching to go. I can’t wait, again not long ago it seemed an age away. Tonight as I finalised the routes for the three of us and the others going to the Corner I realised it is getting closer fast.
There are 2 months, 13 days, 6 hours, 28 minutes and 58 seconds remaining until we leave and that will go faster than your love for a new KTM :laugh:TB
Why did you have to post this TB,couldnt you have kept it to yourself
Between you and Kat and these fantastic trips you guys seem to frequently go on I cant help feeling hard done by 😆
One day,one day.
To say i am a little excited about this trip would be an understatement :laugh: I have always wanted to do a trip like this and i was even prepared to do a big ride on the Piglet by myself :laugh: :ohmy: but since i have the Tenere and some good company its going to be one awesome adventure.
The next couple of months is going to be quick but the last week will be sooooooo sloooooooooow
Looking forward to having a beer at the corner with some legend old bulls.
