I will be cheering you on through the Spot linkSTM
Thanks STM! I will give it a red hot go and I have been in contact with some guys who have attempted this last year and didn’t make it, so I am not assuming that it will be easy spending such a long time in the saddle at speed and concentrating on the varying road conditions and trying not to take any wild life with me. :dry: My route will be a little different from the normal, most direct route from here as i want to take in more dirt and be a bit challenged.
I was inspired last year by Badbowie in doing this ride and to make it like BB will be a great acheivement but I beleive that I will have to earn it.So here goes :woohoo: Just keep an eye on the spot.
Cheers,

Yeah, thanks Eags
It looks like you blokes had a good night last night. :woohoo:
Did TB re-mortgage the house for Grabbo’s helmet?? :laugh: :laugh:
Well not long to go now! :woohoo: I will do a final pre-run during the week to ensure that i have not missed anything and check the wheel balance. I fitted a pair of new hoops (Michelin T63’s) and a new set of front pads.
Next Friday the 21st is launch date at 5:44am (which is the advertised sunrise time)Here is my spot Lefty’s Spot
For those interested.
Cheers,
LeftSorry to read about your accident Ollie!! :ohmy:
Get well soon mate , all the best,
Lefty
yeah great vids there TB
Yeah thanks gents! I will post a few photo’s of the finished bike prepped and ready to go soon.
The rear fuel tank has had some mods Eags after the shakedown to Bathurst :dry: It is now mounted to a Pro-billet rack that I put on the back of the bike to carry a Wolfman Expedition Dry Duffel with a third mount in the centre. i will do a few k’s on a pre run to ensure all is good before the 21st.Cheers,
The Left oneYeah thanks mate. I am on a KTM450 :blink: :silly: :laugh: :laugh: It has had a few mods to cope with the big k’s and I have done a few adv rides on it. We will see how it goes eh.
Yeah mate, I had always planned to do it solo and if I had met up on the way with some fellas so be it. The way I look at it, life is too short, as we all know and sometimes you just have to say f$#& it lets just do it!
TB, PTW & Dejay were talking about doing it also, but they were starting from a different point and taking a different route. Not sure what they are doing now? TB was rethinking whether to do it or not….
I have modified my route numerous times now and have nearly settled on the final route. Just need to make some enquires in the next week or so RE; Fuel availability. But I am pumped and ready for the challenge :dry: :huh:I think :unsure:
Cheers,
LeftHey James,
Yes I will be heading solo from The Blue Mountains to the Corner on the 21st. I have ordered my tyres from Sutto’s, bags are packed, room is booked and bike is nearly prepped ready for launch. :woohoo:I will not be heading the traditional way to The Corner from here so it maybe a little more challenging we will see.
Below is my spot link for those who maybe interested
Badbowie inspired me and gave me some valuable insight into this ride and ever since BB did the ride last year I have been planning this ever since. Thanks BB :blink:
Cheers,
The Left One
