I am mates with our local doctor and decieded it would be a good idea to make an offical appointment and ask his thoughts and advice on our very soon dirt bike trip :woohoo:
His first advice was to take 2 types of anti- biotic on the ride , one for respitory and skin problems and one to combat the sh#ts( not the annoyed type, but the poisoned by bollocks or crap water type) :blink:
he also said everyone should have a good heavy bandage in their backpack for 2 unlikely problems( I hope!) , breaks and snake bites.
This vist to Dr. M wasn’t pommie paranoia but prompted by a well travelled mates advice, I have now got some goods drugs that may just return home after the ride but may also make someones day a bit better.
If anyone going feels they want to get some(as I only have enough for 2 doses, although everyone is very welcome to them) too PM me and I will forward the info.

I spoke to a local farmer today who said whilst watching the country hour he heard they were begining a 10 day spray progam of locusts out western NSW.
This sounds like great news for us , anyone else heard the same ??
Unreal sounds like we’ve lucked it with the weather then
Thanks Boony, I have a mate with a farm near St. George and he has said the same. But I got another mate heading past White Cliffs tomorrow and he’s going to ring me when he’s out that way.
Not that it matters we’ll be heading somewhere on two wheels and that’s what matters hey !!
Looks ok TB , is that 5mm all week or each day??
Might keep a bit of dust down !!
I just wanted to thank owl02 for organizing the phone conferance this morning , without it I would have missed out on Bollocks’ back up plans if Peps missus hasn’t had the baby ( I liked the Swedish option :laugh: ) and a few things I hadn’t thought of.
So thanks Gary and hopefully you can make the next big ride!

Foreigners haven’t had that much luck in the Aussie outback before, let’s hope Team Foreigner breaks the mould
That sounds so close , and work is becoming a real pain in the ar#se now.!!
got my last single track ride in Coffs with STM on Saturday and I keep thinking ‘ preserve body , preserve bike’. But once we get going we all know that’s out the window
Good luck Katgirl, I’m very envious of your trip, have a great time !
Nick
Good stuff TB , that continental looks the business.
I have kenda ultra heavy duty tubes that have done about 3000km , are they worth changing ??
Is there any free to air coverage of the Safari??
It’s one of the best rallys in the world and we can’t seem to watch it until the mags come out next month!!
